 * Keep He gives seminars to leading corporations in Japan. You will occasionally find his articles thought provoking. I think he is a member of the American Economic Association.--Todaisei2100 (talk) 05:35, 26 March 2011 (UTC) — Todaisei2100 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * keepMr. Ueno is quite well known in Japan as a management consultant and also teaches strategy at many of the academic institutions including Globis Management School, a leading business school in Tokyo, Japan. Worth included for reference purposes for Japanese management consultants.

 * External links that I have found so far are all in Japanese. But, there are surely sources which we can now refer to.--GeorgeGeorge-M (talk) 05:08, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete unless more reliable sources can be found. Unfortunately, the Marquis WW's aren't considered reliable (see, for example, ), and I'm unable to find significant secondary coverage of this consultant under this name or 上野拓朗, you'd think there'd be a news article or book that gives some in-depth coverage of him somewhere.  AEA membership is not a criteria for notability, nor is being a teacher (see WP:PROF for guidance on that), but more important than questions of notability are the questions of verifiability. At present, we have no verifiable reliable sources that I can see, and WP:BLP and WP:V leave little room for any result but delete in such a case. --joe deckertalk to me 20:27, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep there are a significant number of articles under the name 上野拓朗 that can be located through Scholarly and Academic Information Navigator at the National Institute of Informatics, a government-run entity, where they keep track of important academic journals in Japan. In addition, we are able to find a lot of information on this person through a general Google search in the Japanese language and, therefore, easily verify what is written about him.--TomJonesIII (talk) 12:38, 10 April 2011 (UTC) — TomJonesIII (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment-I am concerned about the number of SPA's voting at this AFD, I suspect someone is canvassing.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 13:56, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete On Wikipedia, notability requires verifiable evidence; I haven't found reliable secondary sources that can be used to bolster notability. Joe hasn't found any either, searching in Japanese. Because Ueno is a living person, I think that we should only have an article about him if the content meets WP:V. To respond to Tom's point about scholarly articles written by Ueno, WP:ACADEMIC should be met in order to substantiate the notability of the writer.
