Merge with Azuma??? I generally don't like deleting articles that might be boosted up to minimal acceptability with some work, but this one doesn't seem to have much chance of that. Without any reliable proof that Kiyohiko Azuma and Joji Junokuchi are one and the same person, I don't see much hope for this. And if they are the same person, then merge it with the Azuma article.

I misspelled it. It's Jonokuchi. The Azuma article has a reference, but it's to the Mandarake website -- they're a Japanese bookstore, but I don't think it's a reliable source for Wikipedia. Timothy Perper (talk) 17:37, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Merge to the creator's article. Whether or not this is notable, it's by a notable creator and should be mentioned in their article. Edward321 (talk) 23:24, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
