Natsumi Kawahara

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable manga artist. Only one work is listed in Media Arts DB. None of her works have Wikipedia articles on the English side. Not listed in Anime News Network which usually tracks such artists. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 16:59, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Completely unsourced Biography and no attempt to show why they are notable. The lack of mentions at ANN and Media Arts DB speaks volumes.SephyTheThird (talk) 17:04, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete No coverage in reliable sources. Opencooper (talk) 17:26, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete; not finding reliable coverage either. /wia   /tlk  17:29, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - Anime News Network does actually have a page for her . However, they don't have much news coverage of her (just a single news story that mentions her while primarily being about someone else ), so that wouldn't be anywhere close to significant coverage.

 * Delete I do not see any in depth coverage that would go towards keeping this article. I did notice a book over at the Japanese article possibly attributed to her or referencing her (ISBN 978-4-09-131806-0) but aside from that nothing else. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:14, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: Her page on the Japanese WP shows that she won some sort of rookie prize from Shogakukan. This is a pretty major company, so I'll have to ask at WP:ANIME if the award would give notability. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  15:39, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I think winning one of the main Shogakukan Manga Awards could qualify someone as notable under WP:ANYBIO, but not winning a rookie award or new manga award. My understanding is that those sorts of rookie awards are a way for manga publishers to find new talent, so the award is basically saying that the studio thinks the person is good enough to become a professional manga artist.  I don't think it means that they are especially notable among manga artists, or that they would be expected to have significant coverage in sources beyond just the award announcement.
