 * Speedy A7 not sure why all these have not been CSD'd for the past 4 years. Ridernyc (talk) 17:53, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: Fails A7, indication of importance despite lack of references to support those claims (even after user Bali ultimate deleted almost the entire article).  æron  phone  home   19:12, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Claiming to be a producer is not a claim to notability. Ridernyc (talk) 19:30, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * For clarity: A7 is "No indication of importance". The article before and after states "Tatsuya Furukawa [...] is a Bemani producer". Bemani is an international music video game franchise owned by Konami that has been in operation for about 12 years running. It is responsible for prominent game series such as Dance Dance Revolution and Beatmania. That is a vast amount of notability which is no way vague or difficult to understand. A7 indicates "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source." I agree that the article is unsourced, fortunately that is not an excuse in of itself for immediate (or gradual) deletion.  æron  phone  home   19:52, 20 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete unsourced blp on an non-notable producer of music for video games. No notability asserted, none that i can find.Bali ultimate (talk) 19:40, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * (Where) are you looking?   . Two minutes in Google.   æron  phone  home   20:02, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Not a single one a reliable source independent of the subject -- his personal website and the website of his employer, like this one you said was a good "cite" www.konamistyle.jp/customfactory/good-cool/index.html.Bali ultimate (talk) 20:09, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * They are, and there's much more on the subject if further research is done. The point is its easier for you to just delete because you don't care about the subject or are too lazy to do work to an article when you see that it needs it. So why are you even here?  æron  phone  home   20:22, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Generally building strong, sourced, verifiable articles on subjects worthy of inclusion in a serious encyclopedia. Why are you so worried about an unsourced blp? Where were you for the past 3 years?Bali ultimate (talk) 20:28, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixing and building (single handedly it seems) the Dance Dance Revolution articles. The artists involved in the series (And these two are primarily involved in Beatmania) are towards the bottom of a very large to do list. It's hard enough to find people to help out without people like you deciding that removing content from what aims to be the sum of human knowledge is "contributing". And it's a shame that you think Japanese musical artist and game producers aren't serious enough for your idea of what Wikipedia should be. It's so much more than you allow yourself to see it as.  æron  phone  home   20:34, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That's attributing things to me that are untrue. Here's my view on people in the japanese video game industry (which also happens to be my view of everyone in every industry, everywhere). Some of them are notable and some are not. We have guidelines to help sort out which is which. Why do you believe that this person is notable, exactly, and which guideline would you point to to support that?Bali ultimate (talk) 20:42, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Your actions are a citation to your beliefs. ^_- And if you look up, I already said why. You should, I hope, already know what guidelines support a video game producer.  æron  phone  home   20:52, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't give a shit what you think about me. You still haven't explained what specific notability standard (seems a clear fail of BIO, CREATIVE, GNG, etc...) he passes and what source supports this allegation. Enlighten me.Bali ultimate (talk) 21:36, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

It isn't about what I think of you, it's about how being a deletionist is a such a terribly perfect practice in laziness. You don't go around telling other people to look up the reason why you want to delete something, one has to provide a reason why it must be removed. The "unsourced three-letter-acronym" example that Jack gave up top is a case in point. What does that mean?

You obviously have no knowledge of these people, so you can't be expected to help contribute to the articles, but you bothered to walk over here and slap delete stickers on them cause you think it's something to do. Your profile is the exact same thing, you're posting links to articles, bitching, and demanding that "someone" (other than you) fix it. spend your time and effort helping out, preferably on something you're familiar with, If you can't or won't, again... Why are you even here?  æron  phone  home   22:00, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * You don't appear to know much about this person either. This is a deletion debate. So I'll ask a question for a third and final time: In what way does this person pass WP:BIO, WP:CREATIVE, WP:GNG, WP:MUSIC etc... and what source supports this? If you can't answer this question, the rest of your spew about "helping" and "laziness" is just background noise, more of the dull-droning that seeks to drown out reason so often here.Bali ultimate (talk) 22:03, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * If what you can't answer directly is filed as 'droning' then yet another case in point. For your question, since you asked so nicely, it does. And with the sources I listed too. Maybe that's not enough for you, boo hoo, so what? You're not exactly a model community member that others would lean upon for a fair and balanced assessment of a situation so I'm not worried if the persistence of these articles makes you upset. It's amazing how angry people get when information they don't care about simply exists. If I was like you, I would be listing those seemingly arbitrary football player articles at least five times a day. Thank God I'm not. I admit nothing we've been talking about is directly related to this deletion debate, but I'll take the time to use one as an excuse to address the underlying problem that more often than not is the reason for the AFD in the first place. Not that it accomplishes anything. Adéu...  æron  phone  home   22:45, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * So you've actually got no argument to make that this person passes any of the notability guidelines? You should have just said so at the outset.Bali ultimate (talk) 23:18, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
