I believe this article should be deleted, because I have found no evidence that it meets WP:N. In fact, I have found no evidence that the subject of the article even exists, and I am convinced this is a hoax article as a result. Allventon (talk) 20:40, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete I looked and found no evidence that this is a real person, only copies of the Wiki article. Barring information to the contrary, delete. (Side notes: the author of this article seems to have created several hoax articles, every edit by this editor should be gone over... And it's refreshing to see AfD used to weed out a hoax or vanity page, rather than to delete information on lesser-known but real-world notables...) Dekkappai (talk) 20:59, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I've investigated each edit made by the creator of this article; most have been reverted or are being considered for deletion (as part of a wider article). My only concern atm is Please Like Me, Schoolmate, created by the user.  I will check up more on it.  Allventon (talk) 21:12, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Right-- I already checked Japanese sources on that one, and found nothing. Dekkappai (talk) 21:15, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax or unverifiable. I have been unable to verify any of this user's creations. Jfire (talk) 21:01, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment – I have to disagree with the nominator on their rational. The young lady does exist, that a simple Google search would have shown, as noted here and here .  A better nomination criteria would have been has she generated enough 3rd party coverage from reliable – creditable and verifiable sources to gain entry under  our notability guidelines.  As she is most noted in Japan, one of our Japanese editors may have better access to establish notability through Japanese news sources.
 * Those are both Wikipedia mirrors, as are all the Ghits I have examined. JohnCD (talk) 21:05, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Both sources are mirrors of Wikipedia articles, one of which is the one I have nominated, and the other a mirror of another article that is being considered for deletion. Therefore, I do not believe still the person exists.  Allventon (talk) 21:06, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. "The official fanclub consists of over 78% of Japan's population!" - and all of 252 Ghits, most if not all WP mirrors; yeah, right. Cross-refers to the same author's Moshi! Moshi! which is under PROD, having been unsourced for over a year with no confirmation found. Fantasy or hoax. JohnCD (talk) 21:05, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
