No indication of notability. There was another AFD a decade ago, but I am not impressed with the Keep arguments, since none of them conform to the WP:ENT guidelines. So let's start up a new discussion, why don't we? Sk8erPrince (talk) 18:09, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment According to the jawiki page, she was a candidate for Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, so I'm adding her to WP:DSPOL. And please, check the page for other info. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 16:05, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment - the Japanese language article is much more extensive and seems to have both inline citations and external links. Has the nominator reviewed them? matt91486 (talk) 17:31, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, without prejudice against recreation if somebody with better Japanese-language skills than I have can do better than this. While it's true that the Japanese article is longer, it isn't what I could call better-referenced: two of its three footnotes are unrecoverable dead links, one of those two was a primary source which was never actually support for notability at all, and the one reference that is still live is just a glancing namecheck of her existence in an article about somebody else, not coverage that's substantively about her. And per WP:WAX, the fact that an article happens to exist on another language Wikipedia is not in and of itself an inclusion freebie that exempts a person from having to have reliable sources; on the basis of the sources present in it, I'd personally nominate the Japanese article for deletion if I had any ability to navigate the deletion process in a language I can read only through Google Translate. If somebody with better Japanese reading skills can actually find evidence of better sources, I'd be happy to reconsider this — but the sources here aren't cutting the mustard, and the sources in the Japanese article aren't any better.

 * Delete: does not meet WP:BASIC / WP:ENT. Ja.wiki article is equally unconvincing for notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 17:41, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm surprise did not bring up that she does not meet WP:NPOL because she was only a losing candidate for Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 23:28, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
