Takuya Uehara – Endorse AfD close, allow new draft. A new draft would need to have better sourcing to be viable. There were some sources presented here at DRV, but they didn't seem to impress people as sufficient, so there's more research to be done. -- RoySmith(talk) 16:26, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am not sure those sources are enough for WP:GNG/WP:BIO. Analyzing them:
1. Passing mention by name only.
2. " Takuya Uehara with the lyrics of" and the quotation of what he said "Uehara, who appeared in “Handsome Live” from 2007 to 2016, said that the lyrics of “Spring Flowers” put the thoughts toward fans and juniors that they will not change even if the distance is away" is not in-depth.
3. "Uehara, who has played Grell Sutcliff for the first time in two years since Black Butler: The Burning Licorice, which was staged in 2015, said, I think everyone was surely waiting for me. I would like to mark the history of the musical “Kuroshitsuji” with everyone. Please come and see me." Mostly WP:PRIMARY quotations.
4. WP:ROUTINE announcement of his casting "Takuya Uehara in the assistant role of Sano Sagara"
5. Another quotation plus name drops "Mark, Uehara and Mizuta sang the Roger part", "King of the World was sung by Uehara, Hirama and Mizuta.", and "Hirapa and Uehara also rapped". Nothing WP:SIGCOV.
6. I will admit, by far the best source. If more can be found like this, it would be great.
7. and 8. A passing mention. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 16:58, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jovanmilic97: Thanks for the comment about source 6. I did says that's not all of them. I'll try to find more soon. ミラP 17:34, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Allow Re-Creation in Draft if that is what is being requested. If an Overturn is being requested, Endorse as a valid closure. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:13, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
My basic problem with this is that I don't have the language skills or cultural knowledge to identify which sources are reliable and I have good reason to be very mistrustful of machine translations. I note that both ja.wiki and zh.wiki have rudimentary articles which appear to consist of a list of media appearances with minimal biographical data. I would recommend to allow recreation if-and-only-if we can find reliable sources for basic biographical data such as date and place of birth. If that kind of information can't be sourced then it seems futile to attempt a Wikipedia biography. I would suggest popping a neutrally-worded note on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan in order to attract editors who have the skills to find and evaluate the sources.—S MarshallT/C 09:42, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse valid close without prejudice to recreation in draft space with better sourcing. Guy (help!) 13:32, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse, but Allow Re-Creation in Draft or undeletion and move to draft. The Afd Clsoe was reasonable. The nominaiton was particularly through, although only one other editor commented in the AfD. It woulkd appear that additional quality sources are needed before this is ready for mainspace. i do not know if such sources exis tor not.

Since this is the oldest one still active at this time, this should without a doubt be moved to draftspace. ミラP 00:12, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
