I honestly don't understand this article at all. It is a stub composed of with pretty bad grammar, and has no references to merit notability. A Google search provided me little information about this person as well. Tavix (talk) 02:13, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Looks like a really bad translation. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 04:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I happen to have some books about this period in Japan. I'll see if I can dig anything up. I could be wrong, but I think this guy is one of the npc generals in Samurai Warriors 2. I'll doublecheck that as well.(Roodhouse1 (talk) 11:39, 1 June 2008 (UTC))

 * Comment Created by somebody later calling himself ExiledAmbition. -- Hoary (talk) 11:34, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Maybe a mistake, The article says Masakatsu's son was Uemura Iemasa but the ja article says Iemasa's father was Ietsugu. There's a 政勝/Masakatsu in the Uemura clan but no 正勝/Masakatsu. Oda Mari (talk) 14:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Sorry it wasn't a mistake. I found Japaneses pages and the article is right except about his son. There's no mention about Masakatsu's child/children on the pages I saw. And every page on Iemasa says his father was Ietsugu. I think Masakatsu and Iemasa are not related. Oda Mari (talk) 09:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Nice job on catching that. I can't read Japanese so I'll trust you on that.Tavix (talk) 16:43, 2 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment I'm trying to find reliable sources on this character, but it's difficult to find many English sources. There are at least three English books that mention the name, one of which appears to be a work of fictional retelling. I'm not going to declare this person as non-notable just because I don't know him. If Oda Mari knows the subject well enough and cannot find any reliable sources in Japan to establish notability, then it can be deleted. SashaNein (talk) 16:51, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Compare the birth year of Uemura Masakatsu (植村正勝) and Uemura Iemasa (植村家政) on this page And this one too. Their age difference is 6. How could they be a father and a son? Oda Mari (talk) 13:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
