Love of My Life (Japanese TV series)[edit]

Does not appear to satisfy notability requirements. Nothing found in BEFORE. Tagged for notability since 2012.

PROD removed with "deprod; notable cast; not uncontroversial; take to AfD", but WP:NOTINHERITED applies to the "notable cast" comment. DonaldD23 talk to me 03:15, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Television and Japan. DonaldD23 talk to me 03:15, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Once again, I would point out that prodding is for uncontroversial deletion only! Its misuse is getting wearing. AfD is the appropriate forum for discussing articles that may well be notable (as this clearly may well be). If anything looks like it might be notable (which includes a notable cast, a long-running series, etc) then do not prod it but instead take it straight to AfD! -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:26, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Similarly, the last time I saw one of these was a few weeks ago at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kekkon Dekinai Otoko, which was kept. WP:BEFORE directs us to "search for native-language sources if the subject has a name in a non-Latin alphabet (such as Japanese or Greek), which is often in the lead." I understand that this is not practical for all editors, but there is always the option to ask someone (say at the article's talk page, or at WT:JAPAN, etc.) before taking something like this to AfD. In this case we have a nationally-televised series from the 2000s with a double-digit audience share. How did you go about checking for sources? Did you find, say, this or this or do any searches in Japanese? Dekimasuよ! 12:59, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Found some coverage in The Yomiuri Shimbun via Newsbank. "Flashback to an '80s favorite" (October 21, 2006) had the most significant coverage. There also were several sources that reported on when the series was being released on Hulu and reaired. [1] [2] [3]. The third one says(via Google Translate): A masterpiece drama that attracted a great deal of attention. Based on this and available sources I would say some of that attention was most likely in other reliable sources back then as well. WikiVirusC^(talk) 14:33, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
