No significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources. Fails WP:NOTE and WP:BIO. Biography has been unsourced for over two years. —Farix (t | c) 17:16, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - While the article is lacking in references, the author is far from unknown or unestablished; a google search for 掘骨砕三 shows around 35k results, a search on amazon.co.jp gives 16 items or so, etc. I've commented on Farix's page about the conundrum of reliable sources in regard to Japanese authors. --moof (talk) 17:49, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any significant coverage by reliable sources on the author or any of his works? Simply getting a few hit on Google does not allow one to pass the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article. And just because someone gets a manga published doesn't mean that they pass WP:CREATIVE. Just because some of his works sell on Amazon doesn't mean his is either well known or notable. Amazon will just about sell anything that has been published, even self-published works if the author has the right contacts. If the author nor his works hasn't received any coverage, then it fails Wikipeida's inclusion guidelines. You have to prove your claim that his is "well known" via reliable third-party sources. —Farix (t | c) 18:05, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
