DELETE. The claims to fame of this non-notable biography (which has been unsourced for one year now) include the title of race queen, and, I quote, having a "large bust". I would also accept a speedy delete if the community finds that agreeable. JBsupreme (talk) 20:13, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep Ja-wiki shows an extensive, high-profile career. G-news shows dozens of news articles throughout 3 years. Naturally this Delete-rather-than-work BLP Crusade is going to be hardest on the non-English subjects. Censorship always stems from some form of self-righteous bigotry.

Do not delete this page, as there are other specifically mentioned Japanese models of this type that have pages with not much more on them. Why should this one be targeted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whyyudo (talk • contribs) 21:09, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- This article is nominated because it has as its subject a Living Person, but offers no sources that document the facts about that person. Our policies require that Biographies of living persons be strictly and clearly sourced; this one isn't. The existance (or non-existance) of other articles about Japanese models has no bearing on this one; this debate is specifically about the article Hitomi Aizawa. If you're familiar with the subject, could you do us a favor and add some references? Have a look at Dekkeppai's Google News link, and see if some of those articles might support statements in the article. The reason to delete is a lack of sources; adding sources would address the concern. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 21:13, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Dekkeppai and my comment above. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 21:13, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and improve, per Dekkeppai and ja:相澤仁美. TJRC (talk) 21:16, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Haven't really done much work on it still, but I've found a few articles on Aizawa in the mainstream Japanese cinema site, www.cinematopics.com, such as: this interview with her on her role in a film, this article on some sort of "Air Guitar" act in which she participated, referring to her as the top idol of the gravure world ("グラビア界のトップアイドル・相澤仁美さん...") Haven't even dug into the news articles yet, but I've added the cinematopics articles, and citations from the scholarly journal Kinema Junpo to the article. It's still in pretty shoddy shape, but at least has some sourcing and evidence of "notability". Dekkappai (talk) 00:09, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Oh, and much is made of her bustline in This article. Nevertheless, I removed the uncited claim and just referred to it in the text based on that citation. Dekkappai (talk) 00:12, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment To lay to rest this question as to whether she is really known for having a "large bust" (when it didn't even have a citation ferchrissakes! My God! She might SUE US!!!) I see from more than one article, such as this one, and this one, that her nickname in the biz is "The Titty Boss" (おっぱい番長, Oppai banchō). Dekkappai (talk) 00:47, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as there's evidence of "notability" as Wikipedia employs the term ("notability_W"). Now, somebody could reasonably claim that "achievements" such as having photos of hints of one's (naturally or surgically) big tits reproduced in a lot of magazines does not even start to constitute genuine notability ("notability_G"). However, notability_W and notability_G are very different. ¶ I'm surprised by one recommendation above, "improve, per [...] ja:相澤仁美": the Japanese article is little more than a list of lists; and, like virtually all article in ja:WP, only a minuscule amount of it is sourced. -- Hoary (talk) 00:54, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
