I cannot find significant coverage for this individual.  — fetch ·  comms   02:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. No ISBNs for the books, no noteworthy information on the individual, and no reliable sources. Does not meet WP:BIO. Chrisbrl88 (talk) 11:55, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. The lack of ISBNs is irrelevant to this discussion, as the subject died several decades before ISBNs were introduced. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:44, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment You can verify details about older Japanese books by citing their National Bibliography Number (assigned by the National Diet Library of Japan). I've done so for the article. cab (talk) 04:28, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment One small, trivial note of him here . Of course, I don't speak Japanese so might be missing a lot of stuff but then again this is en.wikipedia. --Savonneux (talk) 02:25, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Seeing as there's been an entire book written and published by a third party on the topic of one of his works Itameru Ashi, as pointed out in the article, I fail to see where the alleged "non-notability" comes from. The National Diet Library catalogue further verifies that the book in question went through a large number of printings for several years after its initial publication . Ikejiri is also discussed in the book "Southern Journey of Showa Writers" . Furthermore I have no reason to disbelieve any of the citations that were already in the article at the time of the nomination or that were added on May 25. cab (talk) 04:28, 29 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. The article certainly needs some work to improve its quality, but the references provided from the start appear to at least establish basic notability of the subject. --DAJF (talk) 06:17, 29 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Notability is evident Mar4d (talk) 11:41, 29 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Seems to be a significant figure of Japanese literature. Carrite (talk) 15:52, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
