It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

I'm new to editing pages and such in wikipedia, so if I did a mediocre job with the Akiko Noma article, I apologize, but I do not believe it should be deleted. I, in no way, see how it is blatant advertising, nor how the person the article is written about is insignificant. The band she's from, Go!Go!7188, is rather famous in Japan (and among the American audience of Japanese rock music). It is a stub, I'll give you that much, but she is a bassist whose main band just released their 10th album this October (she also has two albums of her own as a solo artist) and the lead singer of Go!Go!7188 has an article to herself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yumi_Nakashima (H2orowe 00:32, 26 October 2007 (UTC))

I encourage you to establish the notablity of the subject by citing a published source in addition to the fan site link that has been linked to the article. Deputydog23 (talk) 21:38, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
