[edit] Kikuchiyo

Kikuchiyo (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is a character that does not have real world information to establish notability. It is currently covered in the its two main articles (List of Samurai 7 characters and Seven Samurai), and there is no current assertion for improvement. TTN (talk) 22:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

• Given this is a signature role of Toshirō Mifune, I'm going to be really surprised if there isn't at least seven rice-baskets-full of sources on this character. The references and, especially, the book in Further reading in his article (which covers this movie among others) ought to be enough to establish notability. Keep, tag for cleanup and additional sources and expansion. —Quasirandom (talk) 16:04, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

• Also, the Context section asserts notability, admittedly without references, contra the nominator's claim. —Quasirandom (talk) 16:05, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
