Kotani Yasunori (Takenori) of the Yasukuni Shrine 1933-1945

Fails to assert importance. I tried to clean it up as best as I could, but even a search on the Japanese Wikipedia fails to bring to light any relevance to this article. Nekohakase 14:39, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete apparently non-notable and not enough context for anyone to expand. I often try to "save" Japan-related AfDs, but I see absolutely nothing that can be done from this one. Google searches below cab 00:25, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Kajiyama Tokutaro (梶山徳太郎, maybe? 1 ghit [1]; spelling the given name in other ways like 登久太郎 or 篤太郎 gives no Ghits)
- Miyaguchi Shigeru (these 8 GHits on 宮口繁 appear to be about him [2], but no reliable sources; other ways of spelling the given name like 茂, 卯, 秀 get no GHits)
- Yokoyama Sueyoshi (横山末吉, 3 GHits [3])

Neutral comment A connoisseurship involvement might be needed. For your reference. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 8de8 (talk • contribs) 10:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC).--8de8 10:10, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems notable enough within the limited context of Japanese swordsmithing. Do a Google search on "Kotani Yasunori". I got over 16,000 ghits. --Richard 04:28, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If this article survives AFD, I would move it to Kotani Yasunori. The title is too long. It's like saying Tony Blair (Prime Minister) of the United Kingdom (1997-2007) --Richard 04:28, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached

Keep under the assumption that the references cited actually contain the information. Lack of ghits for an article on a subject like this is perhaps not an appropriate argument. DGG 03:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
