[edit] Madoka Mako
I see no assertion that complies with WP:BIO. αѕєηιηє t/c 17:40, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

- The article definitively asserts notability: "was known as the most prominent Christian mangaka in Japan," and even has a source for that statement. The fact that the subject is covered at all in English strongly suggests further sources can be found in Japanese. Keep, tag for notability and needing additional sorces, and remand to the Japan and Manga wikiprojects. If additional sources aren't found in a more reasonable timeframe than 2 minutes after creation, THEN we can revisit the issue. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:41, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- Bad fatih nomination - this article was AfD'ed TWO MINUTES after the article was created. This sort of bullshit was why I left wikipedia the first time in the first place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.81.95.231 (talk) 20:50, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy keep Anon is correct that it was AfDed two minutes after creation. It needs time to be edited. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 21:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

- Keep. I found +830 hits in Google (Japanese). Where's the not notability? Zero Kitsune (talk) 00:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Notability is defined by coverage in independent secondary sources, not GHits consisting of booksellers and blogs. I am very mildly amenable to a "speedy keep", but on the grounds of WP:BITE, not poor keep arguments like this. cab (talk) 00:48, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Comment A Japanese search on the pen name does confirm the existence of the comics claimed in the source Find sources: まどか まこ — news, books, scholar, e.g. Manga History of Christianity in Japan [1]. However, it does not show any evidence of reliable, independent sources, just booksellers and blogs. Same for searching on the titles of what appear to be her better-known works: Find sources: 山谷のおとうさんのうた — news, books, scholar; Find sources: マンガ日本キリスト教史 — news, books, scholar. cab (talk) 00:48, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Article asserts notability and has several sources. Edward321 (talk) 04:53, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
