As the article stands at present this is an unsourced biography of a living person. None of the claims here give default notability, they require multiple sources to show that the particular winning of a beauty contests was notable, and that her roles as a broadcast journalist were notable, both of which are lacking at present John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:45, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:BEFORE search reveals no significant coverage in any reliable or independent sources. Fails the notability guideline WP:N and Wikipedia is not...WP:NOT. -- A Rose Wolf ( Talk ) 20:53, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Drafity. A quick search shows that she's been mentioned by major news outlets like Oricon and Sports Nippon. Her Japanese Wikipedia page shows she's made a lot of media appearances in magazines and televisions. I'm willing to give this article a chance but these media appearances need to be backed up by sources otherwise I'd support deletion. lullabying * :::(talk) 22:50, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep She is a winner of Miss Nippon; that's a significant achievement if not a nobel prize. She also had some career afterward; so these seem enough for notability. The sourcing needs to be improved; not a reason for deletion. -- Taku (talk) 00:33, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Nominator, if you are going to continue to nominate articles for deletion, or to weigh in at articles for deletion, here is something you should know. Complying with WP:BEFORE quickly grows complicated for BLP individuals who have multiple names, or whose names are in foreign languages.  You can't rely on the suggested seaches that AFD guesses you will need.  Your BEFORE compliance requires you to include their nicknames, their foreign names.  In addition, if the article name includes disambiguation, you have to rewrite the google search terms to take the disambiguation into account.  Geo Swan (talk) 04:02, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:SIGCOV. As winner of a major beauty contest, she has gotten lots of coverage. Bearian (talk) 01:18, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep due to nominator's failure to comply with WP:BEFORE. I made a number of additions.  Geo Swan (talk) 06:58, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
