J-Subculture

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I PROD-ed this with the rationale Does not appear to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. Two local stories along with social media links does not suffice for WP:NCORP. However, left a message on my talk page here. I do not have a native understanding of Japanese so it is possible my Google Translate source searches were not up to scratch, so I am bringing it to AfD for the community to examine.

 * Delete as one of many proxy shopping services that verifiably exist but do not receive significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources, much less to the level required by WP:NCORP. The purpose of the article is clearly to advertise the business, so the article falls under the policy "What Wikipedia is not", particularly this part of WP:NOTADVERTISING: "Wikipedia articles about a company or organization are not an extension of their website or other social media marketing efforts".

 * Delete unless better sources can be found. The current sourcing clearly fails to demonstrate notability per WP:NCORP; I had a look for better sources using the links above, but didn't find anything - some WP:UGC reviews, some non-independent stuff, but nothing meeting WP:CORPDEPTH. It's possible a Japanese speaker might have more luck in finding sources, but with what's there now it's a delete. Girth Summit  (blether)  14:03, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
