 * Delete, not notable - less than 70 Google hits. Megan1967 05:51, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. 15,600 Google hits in Japanese, 173 more in English for the proper name ordering, and a significant article on ja:, which is beyond my ability to translate. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 07:23, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I was about to write the same thing as Korath but got into an edit conflict. / u p p l a n d 08:29, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. He was the last leader of the shinsengumi. "Shinsengumi" gets 85,500 hits even in English. Is the purpose of some of these nominations to discredit the google test? Kappa 09:17, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Important figure in the Meiji Restoration.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 23:25, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Important figure. JuntungWu 02:41, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, spurious notability. JamesBurns 06:08, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
