I think this person is notable. He has a red link in another article. The BBC mentions that he is one of the Far East's "greatest names in reporting" (see article). Yet 99.9% of people never heard of him and, until today, did not have an article while obscure video games and porn stars have articles. So I don't know what to do and am submitting this article for discussion on whether to delete or not. Sorry if I am doing this wrong or if there is some formatting error in submission.

 * Strong Keep He is clearly an important person, it's just that the article is horribly written. Someone will get on that eventually, i'm sure. I'm added a bunch of sources, some of which are entirely about him, from major newspapers and stations, achieving notability easily. I'm not sure if there's much else to say.

 * Keep Per Silver screen. Poor writing of an article doesn't mean that the subject is non-notable. Sufficient number of Google hits. Pmlineditor  Talk 16:20, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Closure of AFD requested and keep. I started this AFD.  We now have independent confirmation on notability, at first I wasn't sure.  I plan to fix this article more. Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 18:29, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
