Keep It is true that her life was not long enough to build up a major career, but she was famous enough to get the coverage to pass WP:GNG: [1]. [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], etc. Most of the entertainment/sports papers covered her death. She was not only famous for Sailor Moon but was a regular on hit TV variety shows like Urinari.

"It is true that her life was not long enough to build up a major career" – that says it all. Quis separabit? 13:10, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@[email protected]: I don't want to invoke WP:OSE here, but we have thousands of articles on bands and musicians who arguably never had "major careers" but nevertheless have articles due to passing either our notability guidelines or being covered in reliable sources.

You can invoke WP:OSE, who's stopping you? I assume you're scouring all pending AFDS accordingly. What your point is, however, I don't know. If something seems non-notable it should be rehabbed or tagged for PROD. If those don't work, what other option is there but AFD? Quis separabit? 14:45, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sourcing found by Michitaro. She passes WP:GNG and WP:ENT. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:56, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Enough references in the article now to support the content. – Margin1522 (talk) 06:00, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Arguably she passes WP:ENTERTAINER for the fact that she performed theme songs for several series, as well as playing the lead role in that Sailor Moon play(?). Her death was also widely covered in sources, but this coverage merely showed that her notability was established even before her death. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 14:36, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
