Doubtful notability, man with a job The Banner talk 01:29, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Does not pass notability for a biographical subject, but it's possible to selectively merge information to Sega to ensure that the critical nugget is preserved -- that this man oversaw the electro-mechanical gaming division (pinball and the like).

At least refactor to be about anthropologist ja:鈴木尚, and perhaps dab with the past Square (company) president (redlink at jawp) if there is enough to write about him. There are many possible ways to put that romanized name back into Japanese, and hence can refer to a lot of people. 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 11:30, 21 June 2015 (UTC) (no relation BTW)[reply]

Delete. Insufficient notability to justify a self-standing biographical article. --DAJF (talk) 00:51, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Sega AM2 as a useful search term. Is this the same Suzuki affiliated with Square Enix? If so, that may be a better redirect target. As for what it is right now, the article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) He had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. Please ping me you find more (non-English and offline) sources. – czar 15:39, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So while I think redirection is best for now (with no added effort), I would support anyone who wants to later overwrite this title with an article about the former Square Enix president or Japanese anthropologist. – czar 15:42, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
