Kagerō no Tsuji: Inemuri Iwane Edo Zōshi

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Appears to fail WP:NTV and WP:GNG. Tagged for notability since 2021. PROD removed because it "ran for 37 episodes". Still needs reliable sources though.

 * This series appeared for 10 years on NHK, Japan's primary public broadcasting station; see WP:NTVNATL, although WP:NTV cited above is not an accepted notability guideline. As noted here and here, I am concerned that there does not appear to have been sufficient WP:BEFORE performed here. Last time I wrote "WP:BEFORE directs us to 'search for native-language sources if the subject has a name in a non-Latin alphabet (such as Japanese or Greek), which is often in the lead.' I understand that this is not practical for all editors, but there is always the option to ask someone (say at the article's talk page, or at WT:JAPAN, etc.) before taking something like this to AfD. In this case we have a nationally-televised series from the 2000s with a double-digit audience share. How did you go about checking for sources?" Pretty much everything I said then also applies here, and I did not receive a reply last time. Dekimasu よ! 05:26, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * More recent sources are easier to find in this case, since the show was mainly broadcast between 2007 and 2009 but the most recent episode was broadcast in 2017. That ranked fifth in the drama category for weekly viewership ratings. An article on that episode from Sports Nippon can be found here. Here is another article on that episode. The book series on which the show is based has sold 20,000,000 copies and the author discusses the TV version here. Dekimasu よ! 05:54, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. The two notes above by Dekimasu are convincing. Notable show. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  20:17, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
