Chieko Hosokawa

Non-notable manga artist. No sources given. Google search reveals entry on user-contributed managa encyclopedia. Further google shows little if any commentary on individual. While her comic may be notable through its article here and on google search, notability doesn't transfer. Also, no hits on google news, other then a listing of a sale of manga.

 * Comment The person in question is female. JuJube (talk) 03:13, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Apologies, refactored to proper gender. Mbisanz (talk) 03:17, 15 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment She is not that non-notable at least in Japan. She's been working as a manga artist for decades. Ja google search hits 14800 and here is the list of some of her works. Oda Mari (talk) 06:21, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Very Strong Keep. She is very notable, with one manga series running since 1976 (52 volumes release so far), and other long series as well. One of her manga series has been adapted into two different TV dramas (one in 1970, the other in 2006). I've expanded the article and added some sources. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 08:22, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I should note that further research has shown that the second series I mentioned was adapted from (not to) a 1970 TV drama. That doesn't affect her notability, though. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 01:45, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment Like Michiyo Akaishi, the issue with this article is the lack of secondary sources on the article, but that should be expected given that most of those sources will be in Japanese. Otherwise, the person appears to pass all of the other basic criteria of WP:BIO. --Farix (Talk) 12:48, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, author of a highly notable manga series. Especially with the expansions since the nomination. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:04, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I find Nihonjoe's comments persuasive. --Gwern (contribs) 20:47 15 December 2007 (GMT)
 * Keep Receiving an award for one of her long manga series and another manga series adapted into a TV drama in 1986 establish her notability. --Kusunose (talk) 02:13, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
