Hiroko Mita
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Last AfD resulted in no consensus; as this has been tagged for notability for 7 years now, it is overdue a chance to develop consensus. Unclear as yet that she meets WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG, but someone with better Japanese language skills may be able to help prove me wrong. Boleyn (talk) 13:19, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete I can't find anything (though I don't read Japanese). The key arguments in the previous AfD mentioned the 'What links here' page. I see 2 disambiguations for the name, 2 "lists" of japanese people and japanese actresses (so essentially listified categories), a few of the animes she appeared in had articles, so they listed her in the cast list. There's some other musician with a wikipedia page and the subject of this afd is listed as an influence (in a trivia sense). I see nothing justifying the notability for a separate article, it looks like she's either retired of possibly dead. Her articles at other wikis (The page I linked here is on the spam blacklist. Just search her in google " wiki", I don't feel like requesting whitelisting for this page) appear just as lacking. The Japanese wikipedia article is more substantial (Google Translated: ), but has 0 references of any kind, so it's difficult to know if she even meets WP:GNG there. &#8213;  Padenton &#124;&#9993;  02:20, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Mita was a popular idol in the 1980s and had several hit songs. Her first single Kakete kita otome reached #21 on the Oricon Singles Chart and Natsu no shizuku was #28 . She thus passes criterion #2 of WP:MUSICBIO. She was obviously well-reported at that time, but she married one of the major Kabuki actors in Japan, Nakamura Hashinosuke III, in 1991, and has not performed as much since then, but as his wife--and as a former idol--she is still very much in the news:, , , , , etc. Clearly passes WP:GNG.
