[edit] Koichi Toyama

Requesting deletion on grounds that the article fails WP:BLP, the subject ran in an election to become governor of Tokyo and lost, receiving less than 1% of the vote. No reliable third party sources. Burntsauce 17:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. He gets my vote, but probably not one he would want. Not notable. Realkyhick 17:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep contra rationale; reliable third party sources have been added. Skomorokh ^incite 17:44, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep due to addition of reliable 3rd party sources. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 07:12, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

• Comment at least the guy has done something (though unsuccessfully) and been mentioned by AFP, which I'd have thought would be more noteworthy than being female and having been photographed grinning and displaying some cleavage. Moreover, he could hardly be a worse Guv'na than the far-right nutball -- er, sorry, scrub that. Hoary 07:42, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
• Comment this article has been slightly improved, unfortunately the references provided read more like a WP:COATRACK-type article. Agence France-Presse reports on an interesting move by the Japanese to try to suppress Youtube videos but I still do not believe that this person meets WP:BIO guidelines. Third party sources have been added, but can someone explain how they significantly relate to this person? If so, I will respectfully withdrawn my nomination. Burntsauce 19:56, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Response I added the references to which you refer.After scouring the first few pages of google hits for "Koichi Toyama" these were the only reliable third party sources I have found, I don't entirely understand the COATRACK charge. Surely the question is whether the coverage in the sources is trivial or substantial? Skomorokh ^incite 20:09, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
