Youmi Kimura

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Subject likely fails WP:MN; she has worked on a couple of Studio Ghibli films and most sources discuss that, not Kimura herself. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:17, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep and improve; definitely does satisfy WP:MN #2, #8, and #10. The first song from the Ghibli film charted at #6 and spent 42 weeks on the charts per Oricon, and was also nominated for Song of the Year in the Japan Record Awards in 2001. She also wrote the theme song of Howl's Moving Castle, for which she won the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Music (confirmed here). The song from Spirited Away won the prize for best music at the 56th Mainichi Film Awards and a special prize at the 25th Japan Academy Film Prize. Dekimasu よ! 02:00, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The song from Spirited Away should also have been certified platinum in Japan, since it sold over 400,000 units in 2001 according to Oricon, which would mean she also meets WP:MN #3. I don't think Oricon puts those figures online itself anymore, but the number can be seen here or here. Dekimasu よ! 02:21, 21 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Willing to withdraw, and these sources can be incorporated in some way. The article really needs some cleaning up, though. It should probably also be moved to Yumi Kimura; I'm not sure why this article is even at this title to begin with. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:02, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
