See list at WikiProject Japan/Historical people. The sole cited source is not reliable standing alone. A quick search of Google books shows no support. --Ansei (talk) 19:44, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete I checked the original article and its source, and it looks like it came form an unsourced wiki itself. I can't find anything that would warrant this being kept.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  16:06, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment -- In contrast, please compare the growing number of article marked "done+cites added" at WP:WikiProject Japan/Historical people. --Ansei (talk) 22:54, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment-- The Japanese wikipedia article jp:不破氏 is more detailed but relies mostly on one source: a local history entitled Shinshū Tarui Chōshi. Most localities in Japan have at one point produced a local history and this one is held at libraries both in Japan and abroad. This may indicate that references may exist in other published sources, or this may only be a local phenomenon. Michitaro (talk) 23:40, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Questions: Does this have something to do with Inherent notability? Is it reasonable to decide that all historical Japanese clans are good article subjects when we can point to one published source, any reliable source support? --Ansei (talk) 12:54, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I personally am not making an argument about inherent notability. I am merely saying that there is a presumably reliable history book that devotes space to this clan. The problem with medieval topics is that good historical sources are not always to be found on the net. We might have to find other sources in paper printed publications, most likely Japanese ones.
