Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kurata Yasuaki

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 keep. The article was crap and didn't say anything that would establish notability when the delete comments were made. After it was rewritten by Haeleth, the whole things looks like a real article and no one who commented after that wanted to get rid of it. - Bobet 01:17, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

• delete No case made for notability in the article. Seems to be a minor character in both film and martial arts.Peter Rehse 05:37, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete - The article does not assert why this individual is important. Tagged as such. -bobby 15:31, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. --Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs} 17:03, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment The current version of the article is certainly deletable, but if somebody writes a real article about this person it can probably be kept (assuming the interwiki link is correct). I have removed the speedy tag so there is some time for this. Kusma (討論) 18:40, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete per WP:BIO and because has like no context. Cbrown1023 21:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete per all. ¿ςפקιДИτς! ☺ ☻ 23:37, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep; move to Yasuaki Kurata as the canonical name in English. I have rewritten this article to meet Wikipedia's basic quality standards. I couldn't be bothered to insert a full filmography section, but I think the article should stand without one. While the guy doesn't seem to be precisely world-famous, he seems to be notable within his field. (Non-notable people generally do not survive on the Japanese wikipedia.)
  At the very least, please note that all the "speedy delete" votes above are invalid, since they do not relate to the current article. — Haeleth Talk 12:45, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep per Haeleth. Rewritten article with sufficient notability. Neier 21:58, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep My vote changes to keep from delete. I think the changes are a reasonable start.Peter Rehse 00:26, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
