With the Japanese Wiki containing extra information but no actual other sources aside from 2 listed, my searches also found nothing better than this passing mention. IMDb also lists nothing else convincingly better. SwisterTwister talk 04:57, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Yamada may not be in the spotlight as much as she used to, but for a while there she was one of the most popular gravure idols and was appearing on television several times a week, especially on variety shows. She has 61 TV dramas to her credit: [1]. She still appears quite a lot in other shows [2], and also has her own NHK radio show: [3] (3 hours every weekday on the main national network). She thus appears regularly in the entertainment press for the usual things: marriage, birth, friend's funerals, etc. [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], etc. etc. Another editor has already added some references to the article. Easily passes WP:GNG. Michitaro (talk) 15:19, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
