Fails WP:ANYBIO two short blog refs, mainly asking him about a game he worked on. WP:NN WP:TOOSOON MJH (talk) 02:43, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Note for an admin - WP:WITHDRAWN per improvements and comments below, without delete !vote. I am nominator fka MJH--Nixie9 (talk) 19:34, 16 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - the policy states "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards" and this article passes WP:ARTIST. WP:TOOSOON is completely subjective and is also not a policy. Alhanalem (talk) 03:12, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - He is an important person in game development and this article should not be deleted. I have updated the page with more information and references. This includes citation that states he worked on the Bomberman video game series and various Hudsonsoft games.


 * Keep - Added credits for Dragon Quest X and included citation. --Sirdayne (talk) 20:10, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment - The unformatted keep votes drew my attention to single purpose editors who's only edit was a 'keep' comment on this page, editors who have been inactive for significant periods of time to come out of retirement to vote here, as well as the article's creator voting multiple times.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Comment - Ignoring !vote issues considered above, several decent references have been added since nomination. I am fka MJH.--Nixie9 (talk) 19:31, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - Regarding the comment 2 posts above, I don't see any problem with any of this. So what if an editor was previously inactive, or "coming out of retirment"- I don't see the relevance there.. Obviously attention was called to something of interest to them and they came down to try to not just protect, but improve the content. Several references and some additional information have been added since nomination. I don't really think this is a problem article, nor an inappropriate one at this time. Every article should be so glad that people care about it. Does someone coming back because of a particular article take away from the validity of their contributions? 21:58, 18 December 2012 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alhanalem (talk • contribs)
 * As far as I know, I created the article on November 13th, and I haven't voted at all yet, let alone multiple times! However, I'd vote to...
 * Keep - The article just hadn't had enough time to get off the ground. FFXIV is an important game (as seen by its amount of media attention in the MMO scene), and being viewed 1543 times in the last 30 days shows there is some interest in Yoshia and the article, which will surely only grow as we near the release date. It would be premature to delete it. Patternofknives (talk) 21:17, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
