Un notable pop artist, see Google News (I can't find any hits that are him) and a Google search doesn't seem to throw up anything about him other than a discography. naerii 03:22, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. The notability guidelines to consult for this article are WP:N and WP:MUSIC, in particular. I don't know much about Japanese pop music, but a LexisNexis search indicates that Abe's single "+ OR" came in as #5 on one of the Japanese billboard charts. ("Hits of the World," Billboard, October 3, 1992, p. 47). Apparently, if Abe meets any of the 12 criteria outlined in WP:MUSIC (which he did), he has some notability.

- Keep: charted = notable, per WP:MUSIC. If J. Reading could add that information to the article, it'd be helpful. —Quasirandom (talk) 16:09, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
