Akira Hikawa[edit]

BLP without propper WP:RS. Two of the added references are self-published, the third does not source the claim or mention the subject. Needs WP:BLPSOURCES to meet verifiability criteria. At this time it fails to meet our WP:GNG. It also fails notability requirements for authors or artists. Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 08:20, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I also searched for references in Spain's Google, but could not find any reliable sources.--Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 08:27, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You will not find any or just a few references in Spain's Google, because if you read the Akira Hikawa's biography, he has done his more important works in France, I invite you to search in France's Google, you will find much more references there. Regarding to notes and references in the article, I will add new ones that meet the verifiability criteria, you will see these changes during the next hours.--Goten25 (talk) 12:30, 30 December 2014 (UTC+01:00)

Delete Mainly unsourced and worded like a magazine article, with statements about how he felt at age 11 and lots of his inner thoughts. I did a quick edit of two paragraphs, but really feel that the entire biography section needs to be removed unless sources are found. That would leave just about nothing. The spanish language newspaper article is two paragraphs and does NOT include his name. The Big Bang Theory event was a online "viewer vote" contest, therefore not reliable. The article is created and edited by a single user who has only worked on this article. If this subject mainly operates in France, the French WP might be a more logical choice for an entry, assuming that he is notable in that context. LaMona (talk) 20:54, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG, the sources listed do not establish notability. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:53, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
