Supposedly a famous manga artist, but none of the works listed here have articles, and there's no sourcing to indicate how significant he is. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 22:02, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

 * I'm goign to say Keep, mostly based on a hunch that we have his/her name translated wrong. when I put the Japanese name into Google, I get his/her JP wiki page, and there are also massive image results for the japanese character name.198.58.171.47 (talk) 06:58, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
 * This is not a solid argument as the article on the JP wiki page contains just one source which roughly translates to "author's profile" (self primary source). - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:03, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep, being able to find sufficient sources for WP:GNG. gidonb (talk) 13:35, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

 * You need to present specific sources to demonstrate the individual passes WP:NOTE, not allude to the existence of sources. —Farix (t &#124; c) 22:05, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually per WP:NEXIST under WP:NOTE we do not have to present specific sources. The title says in bold and large letters: "Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article". It's a common misunderstanding in AfD discussions, just not often brought with the policy that refutes it. So while I should not present said sources, just my honest opinion based on checking the sources, you should not make such demands of others! gidonb (talk) 00:26, 6 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment - I'm not finding much, but did find this niche piece[] and this very brief mention.[] The problem is, the brief mention says that his manga was the first published in the US with its artwork intact. Does that meet WP:GNG, for being the first at something, or is it too obscure?  I'm going to defer voting until I hear what others think about this.

 * The comipress one is good. That's a translation of the Manga Zombie book which has writeups of a bunch of different manga artists. Here's one by Manga News (French news website) . The other one is okay as a passing mention but helpful to support the first intact manga published statement. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 01:14, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
