Taro Yokoyama

This article has no real notability nor reference. This is purely vanity Text copied from edit summary left when 69.234.126.61 placed the AfD tag. ➨ ❝ ЯEDVERS ❞ has nothing to declare except his jeans 11:53, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Listing editor's note: Normally, I'd probably not list an anon's nomination with such a vague rationale; however, the references in the article are generic and don't mention the subject at all that I can see (and one of them is "as stated in several fansites" which is Not Good) and a quick Google shows the only hit on this Taro Yokoyama on the first page of results is to Wikipedia. So I'm listing here on the basis that others may chose to troutwhack me for my ignorance. ➨ ❝ ЯEDVERS ❞ has nothing to declare except his jeans 11:53, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per Notability (people). Only 7 Google hits for Taro.Yokoyama Givenchy: Copies of Wikipedia articles and, which seems to be a self-pulished entry. The only verifiable reference in the article is the link to style.com, which seems to be a fake - the linked page doesn't mention his name at all. Regards, HaeB (talk) 05:46, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Prod-2 This person is known throughout Japan & Hawaii as a high fashion model, I believe the Hokkaido High Fashion Magazine has an article on him in the fall/2008 issue.
