Re: Matayoshi Jesus Del this political candidate with 8 losing campaigns in 6-7 years, running as "The only God Mitsuo Matayoshi Jesus Christ". Dozen or so Google hits (in Japanese with scattered Latin-alphabet text). --Jerzy(t) 23:31, 2004 Aug 1 (UTC) This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like other '/delete' pages is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion or on the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.
 * Seems like a pretty interesting and noteworthy character to me, but guess I don't know enough about Japanese politics to cast a vote. Jgm 02:26, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. If we can have an excellent article about Emperor Norton, we can have an intelligible article about this dude.  Smerdis of Tlön 03:04, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Eccentricity is not encyclopaedic notability.  Emperor Norton has apparently left some cultural impression, where thousands of others like him haven't.  -- WOT 04:26, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is the Screaming Lord Sutch of Japan.--Ianb 09:48, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * The US sure has their share of similar "candidates." Don't forget Pat Paulsen, Lyndon LaRouche and Angelyne.  Keep. - Lucky 6.9 17:00, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with Lucky 6.9. However, there should be some scrutiny into whether he is well-known in Japan. --Sesel 03:46, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
