It's borderline, but I couldn't find sources to be sure it meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG. It has been in CAT:NN for 14 years; hopefully we can now resolve it. Boleyn (talk) 13:05, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As a preliminary comment, he is definitely a nationally-known television personality, so I am quite confident he will pass all of the relevant notability tests once someone has a chance to look for sources. Dekimasuよ! 13:49, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some basic sources: this from Sports Nippon, this from Oricon, this from Asahi Shimbun, this from Sankei Shimbun. Also quite a few discussions of him in Google Books. Keep and improve. Dekimasuよ! 14:39, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a few sources, and an Expand/Ja template but the sources on the Jp Wp are mostly interviews. I don't have time to look any further now. At least a redirect to List_of_Japanese_comedians#C, where he is listed seems warranted. And hopefully, users who have time and interest can revert the redirect and add sources. But, considering he is a Jp celebrity, keep, hoping that other existing sources like this, this (etc., it's never great but it seems independent enough and does show he is a well-known TV personality; you need to search in Jp, though) are deemed sufficient by other users. Opposed to deletion. Article needs trimming (I did remove a few things but more can be cut if the page is retained)..Best, -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 14:36, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per sources found above. Clearly passes notability threshold. DCsansei (talk) 14:59, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
