Long-term unreferenced biography of a living person. Notability asserted but no reliable sources found either in English or in Japanese using spelling given in the article. Nothing helpful at ja.wikipedia. Request for help from WikiProject Anime and Manga resulted in original creator suggesting deletion. Plad2 (talk) 21:06, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Little Busters! - The Little Busters! article is currently a good article with many citations, including ones that verify he did draw the art for the 4-koma manga (e.g. [1]). In addition, it contains an image of the cover of the first volume of the manga that clearly has his name on it (taken from Amazon.com [2]). So it is certainly possible to source this article. However, I believe that the claim that the Little Busters! game was based on his manga is false, and the Little Busters! article specifically says the manga was based on the game despite the manga being released first. Since I see no evidence that the manga is independantly notable (i.e. I haven't seen any reviews of the manga), I don't think he would pass WP:AUTHOR. I think a redirect to Little Busters! would be appropriate as that seems to be his most significant work, and he is mentioned in that article. Calathan (talk) 23:33, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep WP:ARTIST He has played a significant role in two different notable works. To Heart and Little Busters! Dream Focus 05:13, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- His work for To Heart was in an anthology manga that has received no coverage in any reliable sources that I am aware of. That manga anthology has nothing to do with the creation of the games, the TV series, or even the primary manga adaptations of the series (it isn't one of the manga adaptations mentioned in the To Heart article). His role in the franchise certainly can't be said to be a significant role in the creation of a notable work. Working on a fringe part of a notable franchise doesn't make someone notable. For Little Busters!, while he worked on a more significant part of the franchise compared to his work for To Heart, his work didn't have anything to do with the creation of the game. Without separate coverage for his manga, it can't be considered a notable work. Calathan (talk) 05:35, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- In manga, the writer and the artist are both notable parts of it. Just like if a movie is notable, then the director, writer, and the main actors of that movie are notable, because they had a major role in it. Whether his work had anything to do with something that was based on the manga, isn't relevant at all. The manga itself was notable, so the writer and artist of it are notable for their work.

- Your response has nothing to do with my comment. Of course both the writer and artist are major roles in creating a manga. Being the artist for a notable manga would allow him to pass WP:ARTIST. However, I'm saying the manga isn't notable. You say it is notable, but you give absolutely no reason why you think it is notable. If you know of any sources that would indicate any of the manga he worked on is notable, please provide them. Calathan (talk) 15:06, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Please note that the article for the franchise he worked on is at Little Busters! with an "!". The article Little Busters without an "!" is for something else. Calathan (talk) 16:11, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
