Hikari Ota's If I Were Prime Minister... Secretary Tanaka
nn tv show Google 21hits.--Antonight 16:08, 30 September 2006 (UTC) — Possible single purpose account: Antonight (talk • contribs) has made few or no other contributions outside this topic.


 * Keep - the google test is a particularly poor metric of notability when non-english (and especially non-latin) subjects are concerned. The NYT story cited in the article is reasonable evidence of notability. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 16:15, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions.   -- Titw 16:59, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable show. The Google test fares poorly with Japanese-language topics anyway. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:29, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Actually, the Google test works just fine, since Google is multilingual. There are over 80,000 results for the show's actual (Japanese) title -- a very different picture from that painted by the nominator. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 20:06, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable television show. That a possible single-purpose account once edited the article is irrelevant. Fg2 00:08, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * No, you misunderstand. The "single purpose account" is leveled toward the AFD nominator, meaning to sugest that the AFD nomination in itself is Bad Faith nomination. Shinhan 05:45, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Obviously. Not only was it mentioned and praised in The New York Times, Wikipedia is not a resource that exists only in the English world, where important events that occur on the other side of the world are ignored. I find it hard to believe that the nominator even read the article, and honestly I'm suspicious of the nominators intentions.  freshofftheufo  ΓΛĿЌ  05:36, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
