[edit] Rei Kimura

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

User:Askari Mark sent this article to WP:COIN, noting that the original author's name is identical to the article title - suggesting a conflict of interest. The content of the article is uninspiring at best, and of the 1400 Google hits, the first 10 do not provide adequate evidence of notability. Shalom Hello 05:02, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete It should be noted that conflict of interest edits are strongly discouraged. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and should contain only material that complies with its content policies. Wikipedia is not a forum for advertising, nor a vanity press. --Siva1979Talk to me 06:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete There are actually only 192 non-duplicate GHits; of which almost all are retailers or trivial mentions in bibliographies/lists. [1] To the extent I can tell, she primarily writes in English, not Japanese (e.g. see the last item here [2]), so I doubt there's any Japanese sources either (and anyway it's impossible to find them if the page author doesn't bother to include the name in native orthography). cab 01:12, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:N, as notability is not even asserted, and WP:V, as there are no sources other than the subject's own website. -- But|seriously|folks  03:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for the above reasons.--Fabrictramp 16:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as she does not assert, in her own autobiogrpahy, her own notability. Bearian
