Does not meet GNG. Only sources that seem to exist are database entries. Article has been tagged for notability since it was created in 2011 and has remained virtually unchanged. Would have PROD'd but it survived a group AFD in 2011. TarkusABtalk/contrib 21:16, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or Draftify only one sentence after a decade since last AfD, and what is listed would fail to meet WP:COMPOSER imo. At a quick glance, it looks like it only survived AfD because it was added as part of a bulk list, not because of its own merits to notability. If someone wants to do the research to bring the article up to standards and maybe even find additional roles bring it to notability standards with a draft, I'd support that. But as it is today, this article doesn't need to exist, and there's no reason to believe it'll be brought up to standards on its own. Canadianerk (talk) 20:57, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - has anyone analyzed the sources available at the Japanese version? Thanks! 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 15:11, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Took a look and found the page: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%A0%97%E5%8E%9F%E6%AD%A3%E5%B7%B1/ - for anyone who wants to pursue that angle/argument in favour of keeping, or updating the EN article. Canadianerk (talk) 18:18, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Delete with WP:REFUND if sources are found. I admit that dealing with composer notability is not what I typically discuss at AFD. However, I am not sure this person meets WP:COMPOSER, WP:MUSICBIO, or WP:GNG. According to the website of the event, he did arranging for the song that won the Yamaha Popular Song Contest's award for best song in the 30th event. However, WP:COMPOSER #4 says Has written a composition that has won (or in some cases been given a second or other place) in a major music competition not established expressly for newcomers, specifically stating "composition". I admit I am incredibly unfamiliar with musical terms so apologies if I misunderstood something. It should also be noted that there may be other Japanese-language sources out there, just that I don't know enough about Japanese music websites to know where to look.
