Alleged to be a db-bio article, however he is listed as a CEO for a company that has an article here, so I think he may have cleared the requirements needed to have an article here. I leave that part for the community to decide. TomStar81 (Talk) 03:07, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: A man with a succession of jobs: insurance, dealing Mercs, promoting martial arts. There is nothing in the text that indicates encyclopaedic notability nor does his work at the martial arts promotion firm inherit notability. AllyD (talk) 08:14, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A port of ja:酒井正和. Judging from jawp and its quite plenty sources, Sakai seems more notable for back-end work in professional/hybrid wrestling fields, having close ties with Smash (professional wrestling) (representative) and Hustle (professional wrestling) (ex-top consultant), and being the current CEO of Pancrase subsequent of its 2012 buy-out. I would suggest scraping off most other (mostly unsourced) things and keep the focus to pro-wrestling. 野狼院ひさし _{Hisashi Yarouin} 10:29, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps userfing or moving to the draft spaces would be a better alternative to deletion then. TomStar81 (Talk) 15:11, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It would be better to start over. That way the promotionalism is not in the history. AndI do not think that having "close ties" otto a company is even appropriate to include, unless more precision is possible--in any event, for most companies only the CEO is notable.

Delete. Not seeing any third-party sourcing or in-depth to demonstrate adequate notability. As it stands, this is a WP:BLP violation, and also smells like a promotional autobiography. --DAJF (talk) 12:29, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
