Shota Yasuda

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This artist is wholly non-notable outside of their work in "Johnny & Associates" which later became "Kanjani Eight". There is little in this that cannot be covered under the Kanjani Eight article, and certainly not sufficient article nor notability for a single article on this person alone. Ref's, as expected, are about the band, not the individual the panda ₯’  20:09, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - I first became aware of this article when it had an expired proposed deletion tag on it. I checked out its references, and searched for further references to verify notability. It seemed like the subject should be notable, as a member of a (seemingly) notable band and someone who'd acted on TV and modeled there must be some significant coverage, but I couldn't find any, so I deleted it. Recently, a request was made on my talk page to restore it, and I did so without prejudice since our proposed deletion policy allows for article restoration if anyone wants it restored. But I warned the editor that it would likely be deleted without better references. --  At am a  頭 20:19, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Kanjani Eight. Even with searching his name in Japanese I couldn't find much reliable coverage (only illegal streams of the shows he's acted in). However, as he's a member of a notable band, and he's already mentioned there, a redirect to his band's article is a better alternative to total deletion.
