Delete No evidence of notability. The only references are to listings which establish his existence and the existence of his books, but give no indication of independent coverage or other evidence of notability. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:36, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep The article asserts him to be the author of standard textbooks, which would meet WP:PROF; unfortunately I know no way of really verifying this with my limited language skills. DGG ( talk ) 02:00, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, from a Google search I can see for example that his book on management accounting (the fifth item in the "main publications" section) has a few universities listing it as one of the books for some courses e.g. Osaka University [1], Shiga University [2], Tohoku University [3]). cab (talk) 06:52, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment The third book in the publications section seems to be in some use as well. I'm not sure whether they're in wide enough use that this guy meets PROF on that grounds, though. I suppose there's a valid argument for keeping the article. Shimeru (talk) 21:22, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article fails to explain why this person is notable. He has written textbooks, but there is no evidence that they are "standard." GS finds only one paper ("The influence of culture on budget control practices in the USA and Japan: An empirical study") which is cited 70 times. Using his Japanese name finds a handful of papers with 2 or 3 citations each. He may be notable, but the article doesn't indicate how he meets WP:PROF, and I can't find any evidence of notability with Google. Since this is an apparently autobiographical article, one assumes that the author has made the best possible case. He is president of the Asia-Pacific Management Accounting Association, but it's not clear whether that's actually a notable society (the article on that society carries a number of maintenance tags). -- Radagast 3 (talk) 10:25, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
