This article appears to have been deleted for non-notability, but I believe that's an erroneous assessment. A Western-centric audience might find her to be a trivial fighter, but she's quite well-known in the smaller world of Japanese MMA. She's the best fighter in her weight class in Japan and is listed as a top 10 fighter internationally in her weight class [1]. While she's the only member of that list who's not Western, that shouldn't disqualify her as a notable person. All the other fighters in the top 10 in her weight class were deemed worthy of an article, but she's not? She's also listed as recently having beaten Sarah D'Alelio, [2] [3] a non-top 10 fighter who has her own article? She's scheduled for a UFC fight against another notable fighter, Miesha Tate[4][5], who again has her own article. This article exists in several other language editions of Wikipedia, the most notable of which is in Japanese [6] (an article which has existed since 2009 in the JPN Wikipedia). If this article was deleted because she failed to fulfill Wikipedia standards for notability, perhaps those standards should be reviewed, especially when it concerns the notability of persons of whom Western audiences might have less familiarity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.193.40.25 (talk • contribs) 2014-07-07T04:15:43
