 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:Notability is debatable. After several years, it appears subject is more likely to fall under WP:OneEvent for his onsen case. No notable activities since then; published work is either opinion pieces in minor newspapers or self-published. Most source material either directly- or two-degrees-of-separation-sourced from the subject's own blog postings, etc. PhD studies not appropriate for notability, subject not recognized by any formal activist organization, has not been referenced academically, etc. This AfD created under a throwaway account due to subject's history of stalking/publishing personal details of people he feels have wronged him.

 * Keep as per Curly Turkey, this is an SPA. (Notability might be "debatable" in a sense, but this chap has achieved enough notoriety, that a wp article is called for.) Imaginatorium (talk) 14:44, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Whilst the subject may have his detractors, and the article is not of featured quality, the one event claim does not hold up. Notability cannot be lost over a period of time. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 03:13, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
