 * Delete. Borderline speedy, as the article does not include any indication of notability. --DAJF (talk) 22:38, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Yes, it is borderline speedy. And see WP:SNOW --Pstanton (talk) 00:06, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. Her Japanese Wikipedia page is more substantial, and seems to indicate that she a news talking head for CNN, wrote a book and was in a film. It was a good call not to speedy, it's possible there's something there. I don't read Japanese very well though, so I can't be certain.

 * Comment Here's her profile in English. An accomplished lady to be sure, still not convinced of the notability. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  13:44, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree the article as is does not display any notability. And with that said, it appears to me it is possible to establish enough notability by evidences including (but not limited to) 1) her book being awarded here (list of award recipients). 2) covered in multiple other mainstream sources. I am not voting for Keep as I am not willing to do it myself. If the article as we see now has to be deleted, what do we lose.
 * An off main topic, but possibly more important question is, what is the ground for having the photo on the page with another lady, with her name displayed, who is yet unknown. --Mantokun (talk) 14:57, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


 * speedy keep The nom is proceding alphabetically through Special:Allpages and tagging article with spurious reasoning. This article can easily be expanded and sourced through Google and Google news (needs a Japanese translator).  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 18:17, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
