The result of the debate was no consensus, however, they can qualify for CSD A1/3. There seems to be a consensus to delete a few of them though. – Sceptre ^(Talk) 08:38, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Noriko Ito

This person and several others are stub bios for non-notable authors who were listed in the Aozora Bunko database. Aozora Bunko is a website for copyright expired Japanese works, and works that authors have decided to share, including non-notable ones. Of the list of names that come from Aozora Bunko, the following have less than 500 Google hits when I search for their native Japanese names. I am nominating all that are listed below for deletion. —Tokek 06:41, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, on all cases, none of the articles even qualify as sentences.--Dp462090 | Talk | Contrib | 06:51, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Masato Uematsu. Check to see if either Kozo Suzuki or Sano Ryoji's books are self-published. If not, then weak keep. And finally, delete the rest. --TBC^{??? ??? ???} 07:50, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Uematsu, Suzuki and Ryoji - but perhaps relist separately later, the interwiki link and Amazon ref means they should get separate nominations. Delete the others -- Astrokey44|talk 15:52, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Uematsu, Suzuki and Ryoji per above. Delete the others. --日本穣 Nihonjoe 18:35, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep all without prejudice; relist separately if appropriate. All apparently verified as published authors per source, need separate explanations as to why each doesn't meet notability requirements. Not enough common elements for group nomination. Monicasdude 21:29, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Yeah, they have "published" their works, but any columnist or a kid with a website has had his or her works "published" as well. Not all are authors of works that have actually been physically printed, such as into a book, and distributed by a company. Also, for the first two on the list, they were delisted from Aozora Bunko's database because their URLed works could no longer be found, and judging from their Google count, they've only reached notability in Aozora Bunko mirrors that are slow to update their lists. The common elements I've already mentioned previously so I won't repeat. —Tokek 09:09, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but I think the information would be better collected in one article rather than several bio-stubs and the stubs changed to redirects, until such time as someone chooses any individuals to write about at length. Tyrenius 02:35, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 19:02, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Week Keep The article should be enriched with more information, or just be collected in Aozora Bunko. Deiaemeth 08:53, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletion discussions. -- Kusunose 01:05, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all but Uematsu. Bueller 007 18:59, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
