Hideshi Takatani

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Being on interesting tours does not address the requirements of WP:MUSICBIO. There are no significant results in Google News that would address notability. As the website linked is non-English I am raising for further discussion as notability may be demonstrable in non-English sources not indexed by Google by the English version of "Hideshi Takatani" as per WP:BIAS.

 * Strong Keep Subject appears to be notable in many ways, not the least of which has been to have played alongside musicians such as Larry Carlton, a jazz legend that any musician would be undertandably proud to have worked with, for or against in any way. Quite a feather in anyone's cap by my estimation. I've done a bit of cleanup, added a reference and there appears to be more references available. I'd suggest a little time for cleanup and we can improve this one to the degree it requires for retention. Nineteen Nightmares (talk) 15:11, 5 June 2010 (UTC)Nineteen Nightmares
 * Comment I noted many, many online articles about the subject on Japanese sites. The English equivalents were fewer, but still I found half a dozen with my first Google search. Nineteen Nightmares (talk) 15:31, 5 June 2010 (UTC)Nineteen Nightmares
 * Comment Am unable to independently verify "G2" claims. Cannot find much online to support contention. Nineteen Nightmares (talk) 16:14, 5 June 2010 (UTC)Nineteen Nightmares

 * Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:02, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Insufficient evidence of notability to pass WP:BIO or WP:MUSIC. The references provided are brief mentions, nothing in terms of specific and detailed coverage. As the nom correctly notes, having performed on some interesting tours or even alongside some famous artists is not, by itself, sufficient to establish notability, in the absence of specific coverage of this musician himself.
