[edit] Umedama Nabu

Can't see how this guy has any claim to notability Poss WP:VAIN as the only link is to his own (foreign language) website DavidHumphreys SPEAK TO MEABOUT THE THINGS I MESSED UP 06:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete nonnotable manga artist. NawlinWiki 12:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete founder of a doujin group which itself has no article. Doujinshi are roughly the equivalent of fanzines, notability-wise, and while some notable artists got their start with doujinshi, involvement with them is not in itself a form of notability.

  • Very weak delete; in addition to his dojin work, he does have some published hentai manga that's stocked by places like Amazon, but I'm not sure it's going to have a wide enough circulation to qualify under WP:BIO. Neither he nor his circle have articles on the Japanese wikipedia, which is generally a bad sign for notability.
    Maybe if he steps up his anti-Bush political activism he'll qualify one day... — Haeleth Talk 14:59, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Even though I do read manga and doujinshi, this artist isn't notable on his own (per WP:BIO). --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 18:49, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete An article on Tsurikichi Doumei would be a Keep (their work is wildly popular), but not articles on the individuals involved. - Wickning1 06:51, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
