Bunko Kanazawa

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A BLP that lacks sources that discuss the subject directly and in detail. Sigificant RS coverage not found. The article is cited to online directories, industry publicity materials, and other sources otherwise not suitable for notability. Does not meet WP:PORNBIO / WP:NACTOR. No significant awards or notable contributions to the genre. Being "called 'one of the biggest AV idols' " by a nn website jmate.com is an insufficient claim of significance.

 * Keep. Very well known Japanese porn star (the only one I've ever heard of tbh). Dozens of references already in the article. Very odd nomination.  Tigerboy1966  19:31, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The only one you've heard of" isn't a valid reason for keeping, Again there being dozens of references also isn't a valid for keeping, Very odd !vote. – Davey 2010 Talk 20:34, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete as No evidence of notability, hasnt won any notable/significent awards, Fails PORNBIO & GNG – Davey 2010 Talk 20:32, 14 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep Why are we even discussing if this should be deleted? Bunko Kanazawa was famous in the 90s and early 2000s.  Are there any East Asian contributors assessing this?  Just because her achievements are relatively unknown in the West is surely not cause for deletion, especially if you base the requirements in the context of the Western pornographic industry, e.g. there is no "Pornographic Hall of Fame" in Japan.  Madoka Ozawa is another star whose page should not have been deleted and should be reinstated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.90.50.104 (talk) 18:17, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

One of the cited reasons for deletion is "no evidence of notability, hasn't won any notable/signifcant awards". However, in the List of Japanese adult video awards (1991–2008) article, it is clearly stated that "Although pornography in Japan has a long history and is a major business, until recently, the adult video industry did not develop a broad-based set of awards for sales or performance such as the AVN Awards in American pornography." This measure of notability is therefore unrealistic as AV actresses like Bunko Kanazawa and Madoka Ozawa could not have won any notable awards as such awards did not exist during their heyday in the mid-to-late 90s and early 2000s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.90.50.104 (talk) 18:35, 15 May 2018 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
