Tagged for notability since February, with no improvements. Concerted searches on the net in English find only trivial mentions already cited in article: that she wrote these two plays and died in a plane crash. That's it. I tried searching in Japanese, but found nothing, not even a confirmation of the kanji of her name. This is not enough to pass WP:GNG or WP:AUTHOR, though if someone can find sufficient print materials, I will withdraw. Michitaro (talk) 08:46, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't find the coverage to be trivial. FloridaArmy (talk) 12:09, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain? To prove notability, there needs to be significant coverage that "addresses the topic directly and in detail" (WP:SIGCOV). None of the sources cited--and none that could be found in net searches--do that. They offer nothing more than "A Japanese woman died at age 28 in a plane crash after writing 2 plays." Nothing about her birth, education, career, her writing style, approach to theater, specifics of her death, etc. Even her real name is unknown. Nothing. You cannot create an article from that.

Delete Available sources say very little about her, as described above. Search finds nothing more.104.163.159.237 (talk) 03:12, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
