Kii Kitano

I declined a speedy delete A7 on this because I think there may be some assertion if notability here. I am not convinced however that it is properly verified and attributed so I bring it here for discussion. JodyBtalk 14:35, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete ; Concur as the one who proposed the speedy. There may be some "term of the art" (Japanese modelling?) which implies notabiiity, but I really don't see it.  Whatever the claim of notability might be, it's not clear or supported by sources.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 14:48, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Change to Keep, as "Japan academy award" now mentioned in the lede is a national award, rather than a film festival award. It still needs more work, but that would be notable.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 23:20, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I know it lacks sources but I'm sure I could get many. She has appeared in many films, and starred in two dramas, in 2007 and 2008. She has appeared in films as one of the main characters multiple times through out the year. This for a Japanese actress, means she is getting more notable, and now considered one of the now leading young actors and actresses. In October, I believe, she was featured in one of the promotional videos by a music group. Also, she was a model for a magazine, but as she got more famous, she went on with the acting career. Modelling career is notable, but I don't think that's more notable to state than her acting career. If this makes her notable, I'll add sources. --staka (T) 15:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Please do provide sources, remembering that not all actresses are notable. Perhaps WP:ENTERTAINER is the relevant notability guideline?  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 15:38, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Does it have to be English sources? I believe most English sources, if any, are just translated and therefore unreliable as to if they are correctly translated. I'll add sources when I get home.. --staka (T) 15:45, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The guidelines are quite clear that they don't have to be English sources, although I don't have the link at the tip of my fingers. Thanks for asking.  If a translation is available, you might point to that, as well, but it's not technically necessary.  Only in the case of editors whose translations have previously shown to be questionable, would we demand an independent translation.  (I can name one person who is a former ja.wikipedia editor and former en.wikipedia editor who falls into that category, but there may be others.)  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 15:51, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I added sources.. for most information. I added additional information to the article also, one mentioning about the awards she won by acting in her first starring film, and that's with a source. --staka (T) 22:27, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
