Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yamato Kashima


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was snow close. Kashima himself wants the article gone and at present I can find nothing to show that he would pass notability guidelines as a whole. I have no problems re-opening this if anyone wants it to run for a few days more, but the consensus seems to be solidly for deletion. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   05:49, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Yamato Kashima

This is a procedural nomination per WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. The subject of the article blanked the article with the edit summary I am Yamato Kashima and I want this information off of wikipedia. In addition to nomination by procedure, I would also like to nominate this because I do not believe the subject satisfies WP:NSPORTS. Mz7 (talk) 23:56, 21 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Note: As of now, I have not restored the blanked content to the article, because none of the content is sourced with an inline citation, which is especially important since this article falls under WP:BLP. The original text can still be read by accessing the history. I will leave the restoring to the next editor. Mz7 (talk) 00:11, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't know if the request is as credible as I'd like, but the person is of doubtful notability.  I don't see anything worthwhile on Google News, and a standard Google search results in mostly social networking sites. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:38, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm the original author. He (Yamato) was originally excited to have the article, but if he wants it removed we should honor his request.  Mikepellerin  talk 01:54, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Passing mention . Maybe he would be mentioned in a Personal Life section in the article of his more notable brother Sho Kashima (who has ), but I don't see separate notability for a separate article for Yamato as of now. That was not yet considering the removal request.  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 02:27, 22 February 2015 (UTC) Examiner.com sources blocked.
 * Delete - Google search reveals no significant coverage to meet WP:GNG. I suspect the topic of the article is of questionable notability. If Kashima himself requests the article be deleted, I see no problem in respecting his wishes. Thank you, --ceradon ( talk  •  contribs ) 06:14, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
