[edit] Suspect Info

This bio sound remarkably similar to Initial D. Where did the info (AE86 bought with proceeds from a filling station job) come from? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mountaindewzilla (talk • contribs) 12:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC).

That bit came from June 2005 issue of Max Power which I do have, also a few things to ask,

1. who's idea was it to threaten this article with deletion as the Japanese page hasn't even been threatened yet, as I just did a Google seatch and this will come up as Results 1 - 100 of about 17,900 for Yasuyuki Kazama. (0.13 seconds). Type in his Japanese name and you will get...Results 1 - 100 of about 15,600 for 風間靖幸. (0.15 seconds).
2. He is not expected to be as famous as he is in Japan
3. Try asking any drifting sites of who he is and you will get an automatic answer that he is a well known drifting driver. Also anybody who went to the non-Japanese D1 events know who he is. To add to this, does what else does that article needs to be made to fit in with the notability bit?

I second Willirennen's opinion. So far as I can tell Yasuyuki Kazama more than meets the notability guidelines. Rurouniyuudai85 02:06, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
