Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (your reason here) --CurtisNaito (talk) 18:40, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I translated this article from the one on Japanese wikipedia which has existed without challenge since 2006. By virtue of his high profile in publicly debating issues relating to the Najing Massacre in particular and Japanese war crimes in general, as well as the numerous published articles he has written on these subjects, he is at least clearly notable within Japan.

Ok then. But you will need to provide some information that asserts his notability. As it stands, nothing in the article suggests that he meets the notability standards. Dtm1234 (talk) 18:46, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
