Munetoshi Date

Suspected hoax. Declined speedy. An alleged actor/singer, who is not mentioned at all on the website of the agency to which he is supposedly signed. The guy claims to be half-Chinese and half-Japanese, which leaves us with a bunch of names to search for: cab (talk) 21:30, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Search for Japanese name in kanji gives 5 Ghits
 * 2) Search for Japanese name in hiragana or search (also in proper name order) in romaji gives coincidental hits related to a 17th-century historical figure with the same name reading/different kanji.
 * 3) Search for English name "Torny Li" gives only Wikipedia mirrors and his facebook page.
 * 4) Search for Chinese name 李伊達 gives blogs, Wikipedia mirrors, and similar internet flotsam.

 * His supposed singles are unknown to Oricon, as is he himself. Delete as hoax. —Quasirandom (talk) 02:47, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete: Some 20-year-old who "has appeared in varies of commericals and music videos since 2004" sounds barely noteworthy even if he's with "KEN-ON ENTERNATINMENT" and actually exists. As stated above, Ken-On's site doesn't seem to mention him, though it has stuff about other pretty people and keeps going "ping" when you move your rat around the screen. &para; It seems a pity that intelligent adults (as well as thick ones like me) have to waste any of their time in AfDs on this kind of thing; if I were the autocrat of Wikipedia I'd decree that any article about anyone alive and under 25 or maybe 30 were speediable unless it already came with at least one link to a disinterested, reliable source that credibly asserted noteworthiness. -- Hoary (talk) 08:27, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: He doesn't not seem to have done anything notable, and searching around didn't give me reason to change my mind. I disagree with Hoary's rant though. --Apoc2400 (talk) 13:15, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
