Ben Huston
Authors have removed several tags along the way, and after a mention that the article needs to show notability, some added information has been added - in Japanese. A bad Babelfish translation suggests it might try to offer notability, but I'm just not sure. Bringing here for discussion. Delete Tony Fox 00:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Do not Delete! LMAO, this is hilarious! I don't know who wrote up this article, but I see a photo of this guy's face posted up on the outside of 'Mahuraja', an indian restaurant in Kaihin Makuhari (near a CitiBank) everyday. The photo looks like it was taken during the filming of a 'variety tv program' at the restaurant or something. Additionally, I saw this same guy, named 'Ben Huston' (written in Japanese katakana) appear on the 'waratte iitomo' show, two days ago. From what I understood, this guy seems to be dating a superfamous japanese model/actress named Aya Ueto. She is crazy hot! Anyway, whoever submitted this article, please update with more info. How is this guy dating Aya Ueto?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aristocrat4000 (talk • contribs) 01:25, May 25, 2006
 * Weak Delete There should not be Japanese on the English site. Poorly written. Notabiliy not clear from article. Is he an actor or something?? Lacking specifics to notablity claim. Which television shows has he been on?? Why is he a celebrity other than his personal habits?? I know the Japanese are odd when it comes to celebrities but some explanation would be good.--Nick Y. 00:45, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I see no assertion of notability, and it strikes me as being phony.  -- stubblyh ea d | T/c 01:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete neither his full name, nor the name used in the title+'Gaijin' gives any results on Google. Nor does the search "Ben Huston" site:.jp". Other Google results don't lead to any such person in Japan. Also something like He is famous for .... eating curry at the Makuhari Citibank Building makes it sound very non-notable.

 * Delete. "Big celebrity", myass. Bob Sapp is big celebrity in Japan, this guy isn't. --Calton | Talk 21:02, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment If you can find some verifiable and credible sources for any of that, feel free to add them into the article. (Preferably in English, this being the English Wikipedia.) Tony Fox 02:15, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment I certainly didn't write the article if that's what you're implying. Yes, and under my new username 'Aristocrat4000' this is the only article I've contributed to, so far.  Additionally, I'm totally indifferent as to whether or not it stays or goes now.  So, if there is some sort of lingering suspicion regarding my 'connection' with this article, that's your own hallucinated conclusion.


 * Delete - no specific details in the article that I can read. If this article is to be saved, a more complete rendering of his history (why is he a "big celebrity in Japan"? It is never truly mentioned).  As it is, I cannot tell if it is a joke article or a legitimate attempt at a stub prior to the addition of the Japanese portion. B.Wind 13:49, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
