No claim to notability. Article is only a sentence long. JDDJS (talk) 16:04, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment. I'd say that "lieutenant-general in the Imperial Japanese Army" is a claim to notability. There's considerably more substance in the Japanese version of the article ja:香椎浩平.  According to our articles, he was a commander of the Japanese China Garrison Army and later played a significant role in the February 26 Incident of 1936. However, I agree that the earlier machine-translated and largely unintelligible version of this article  was unacceptable. Holding my !vote for the moment.--Arxiloxos (talk) 18:43, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. His involvement in the February 26 Incident alone should be sufficient, not to mention his high rank. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:47, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I would remind the nominator of WP:NRVE: "Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate citation. Wikipedia articles are not a final draft, and an article's subject can be notable if such sources exist, even if they have not been named yet." Just because it is one-sentence long does not mean it should be deleted. As this RS confirms,, he was a lieutenant general, which passes the notability criteria of WP:SOLDIER, number 3. (He also possibly clears number 5 because of his involvement in 2.26.) Michitaro (talk) 03:49, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn The aricle is better shape than it was when nominated, and now notability is clear. JDDJS (talk) 13:23, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
