[edit] Noriko Takenouchi

While her sister may be notable, this is still a vanity page-- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 00:09, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Based on the somewhat-confusing article it links to, this seems to be a non-notable character from Digimon rather than a real person's vanity page. - Thatdog 00:50, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable. Hamster Sandwich 01:34, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Not vanity unless the subject created it. These kinds of pages are useful for the original articles. --malathion ^talk 01:37, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• merge and redirect to Sora Takenouchi seems right Circeus 01:45, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Uh, is this a real person, or a cartoon? android79 02:44, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • If I understood the articles correctly, then apparently this is a real person, and Sora Takenouchi is both a cartoon and a real person (the voice actress for the cartoon). Thus, I vote delete, as this person is not notable. And the Nora Takenouchi article should be rewritten to make some distinction between fact and fiction. - ulayiti (talk) 03:17, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. if not vanity then becauust it's not notable. --Eliezer | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 03:22, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Alright, if I'm understanding this correctly, this is the non-notable pizza parlor-working sister of a marginally notable voice actress, the sister also being personified in a cartoon. I'd say speedy it under CSD A7, if it hadn't been so damn hard to figure out what it was. Delete. android79 03:41, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This could probably be a speedy under the new rules, as being the sister of a kinda sorta famous person is not a legitimate assretion of notability. And even if the subject did not create it, that is certainly no reason to keep it. Nor is there anything to merge. -R. fiend 03:46, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• I can't find evidence that Sora Takenouchi, the sister, is the name of a voice actress; per IMDb that's just the name of a fictional character on Digimon who is voiced by Yûko Mizutani in Japan and Colleen O'Shaughnessey in the USA. [1] Delete. --Metropolitan90 03:59, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • That seems to make sense. I thought it very odd that an animated character would be named for the actor providing the voice (or vice versa, which would be even more odd), but admittedly I know nothing about Digimon. Makes me think that the entire Sora Takenouchi article is full of BS. Perhaps it deserves an accuracy tag? -R. fiend 05:01, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. Quale 05:21, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. Fbergo 05:26, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Explicit claim to non-notability, and clearly vanity (yes, if you put up a page about your friend the pizza chef, that's still vanity) -Harmil 11:22, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Some chick. I'm glad she has friends who like her enough to put up pages to her, but such things (barely literate, tangled references to other falsities) are not the basis of factual articles. They are the basis of site hijacking. Geogre 14:46, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, notability is not genetic. And she was not "ever interested in voice-acting or becoming famous", just finishes it off, and probably means that the article asserts non-notability (!) so can be speedied. -Splash 18:16, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Notability of a "pizza parlour waitress" is not established. Martg76 21:55, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:26, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn vanity. --Etacar11 23:21, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless proof of notability is presented.-Poli (talk • contribs) 23:51, 2005 July 25 (UTC)
• Comment: this clearly cannot be vanity if the article has been up for several weeks. Wouldn't this deletion tag have been put up sooner? DrippingInk 00:39, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Vanity articles and other undesirables fall through the cracks all the time; that this one didn't is not a particularly compelling reason to keep it. android79 00:42, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
    • Very good point. Thus I vote Delete. DrippingInk 15:29, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. If this article has been up for a while, then it can't be vanity. Plus, I've heard of Noriko Takenouchi. She ran off to Canada because she hated life in Japan. Very obvious. 64.231.72.209 00:17, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Very convincing. And that piece of information certainly makes her worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. :) - ulayiti (talk) 00:25, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete notability not established. JamesBurns 07:40, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - I believe I know the story behind this page. The person in question is most likely fictional - created by an online acquaintance in an attempt to convince me that this person is a friend of theirs, and leading to his posting several facts in the Sora Takenouchi section which have been dismissed as fiction. Therefore, Noriko Takenouchi's very existence is... questionable. Quack-Wabbit 14:48, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Oh, really? Is this person on Wikipedia? 64.231.168.171 22:16, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
    • That's not particularly relevant. I'm not here to start a flame war, merely to provide elucidation. Quack-Wabbit 15:19, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
