 * Delete (though this nomination needs a rationale). I have looked and can find no coverage of the article's subject in reliable sources (the GNews matches for his name all seem to refer to a synonymous criminal or other unrelated people). This might be him, but is too brief a passing reference to constitute significant coverage per the WP:BIO guidelines. Gonzonoir (talk) 12:55, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is more at zh:酒井亨, but the references don't seem to meet our usual expectations. -- zzuuzz (talk) 17:57, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment, there are more news sources under "酒井亨", in sources such as Liberty Times and 南方快報(southnews.com.tw) which is listed on Chinese list of sources of news. It looks like the article can be sourced to these news articles, but someone fluent with Japanese should do that in order to avoid mistakes.  ja:ノート:酒井亨 is worth reading, and this article has been up for deletion twice on Japanese Wikipedia: ja:Wikipedia:削除依頼/酒井亨 and ja:Wikipedia:削除依頼/酒井亨20070807.  The ko, zh and en versions were created by, who may also be ja:User:Sawahiko, who was indefinitely blocked after ja:Wikipedia:投稿ブロック依頼/Sawahiko.  user:T.Saito may be the subject.
