Fails per WP:BIO "known for his work Tista" The article Tista (manga) was deleted in 2009 as failing notability when it came to books. No-place to redirect or merge article to, contested prod with no improvement done. Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:54, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Comment - A cursory search reveals that there has been some coverage in Japan for his other manga, Gekka Bijin. As my knowledge of Japanese is poor, it's hard to tell if said coverage is indeed significant or not, but as they are coming from sites such as Natalie, a known reliable source, if proven to be significant coverage, they could establish notability at least for Gekka Bijin (which at present doesn't have an article here). This could affect how notable he is, so until the reliability of the sources are determined, I'm withholding !voting on this one. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:33, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment – I looked at the Natalie hits in Google News. There were quite a few but some were for ads. The following are typical.
 * Online manga of a detective novel
 * Short descriptions of Gekka Bijin, based on 2000 novel, which was based on 10th-century The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter
 * Notice of voice actress of vomic version of Gekka Bijin
 * I gather that a Vomic is Voice+Comic, one step down from an anime. These were all pretty routine coverage of a series in a major manga magazine, basically announcements that they were appearing. Hits on the web were all blogs and database-type listings. Fair amount of attention, probably normal for when a series is currently running. – Margin1522 (talk) 06:50, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. In the absence of in-depth third-party coverage or sourcing, it's hard to see how this person satisfies the basic notability criteria to justify a self-standing article. --DAJF (talk) 15:53, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
