• delete - Claims international reputation but 2ndary no sources for such, one club link.--Nate1481( ^t/_c) 10:53, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

p.s. does anyone read French [[1]]?

• I do, a little. The French article basically says the same that is contained in the English version (a bit less in fact), plus it lists where and when he received his Dan and Mokuroku grades, from 1 to 6. It doesn't contain much towards international reputation, though. --B. Wolterding 11:38, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

• Didn't look that big but wondered as he's French if it might give a lead har-hum... --Nate1481( ^t/_c) 11:58, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: With only 80 hits on the French Google [2], his alleged "international reputation" doesn't seem to hold water. Article on, article off.  RGTraynor  18:29, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator. -- Futurano 09:24, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
