Delete Per nom, no references to be found. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:34, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because you have to take a few seconds and look for them. They were in other articles linked to already, I going to those official websites and finding it without problems. Dream Focus 10:01, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I added references from official sites of two of the three things he is credited for, which do mention him as the artist. You only need references to two notable works that he had a notable role in to convince most he is notable, so I didn't bother with the third. If anyone cares, just run the official site through Google translator, find the product he is said to have done art for, and then once you are on that page, search it in the official Japanese for his name in Japanese, to find it.

Delete. Not seeing sufficient in-depth third-party coverage here to establish notability. --DAJF (talk) 12:33, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: there is not sufficient coverage in independent, secondary, reliable sources to meet WP:BASIC. J04n(talk page) 13:45, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, you don't have to pass the General Notability Guidelines if you pass the other ones. See WP:ARTIST. Dream Focus 18:26, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
