I came across this as a speedy deletion via A7, but there's just enough of an assertion of notability to where it wouldn't have been a clean speedy. It's possible that he may be notable, but I can't find anything when searching or to really show that the awards he's won are really notable per Wikipedia's guidelines. This might be due to him performing predominantly in China and Japan, so I've asked both WikiProjects for help in finding sources, if any exist. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:36, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Things that also give off the potential for notability include things like this book, especially as the e-commerce site mentions that he's frequently performed on television. Whether or not these performances would establish notability has yet to be determined, but it's enough for it to pass speedy criteria. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:38, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I couldn't find any sources in Japanese, although there may well be sources out there, as from his Youtube videos it appears that he has been on Japanese TV. It may also be easier to find sources in Chinese than in Japanese. If any such sources are found, I can see myself switching from delete to keep, but at the moment we should assume he doesn't pass WP:BIO. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 07:15, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as simply none of this actually suggests a better Wikipedia article, delete for now at best. SwisterTwister talk 04:47, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
