Nomico[edit]

Not listed in GamePlaza Haruka Voice Acting Database. Has a few singles that are Oricon charted but not very high. No distinction on what is notable about her. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:04, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment She did appear at Touhoucon 2015, which got some coverage. Is that enough to justify keeping her around? HERE AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:10, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now perhaps at best unless better including non-English coverage can be found as I'm simply not even solid general notability here. SwisterTwister talk 05:55, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment According to Oricon, she has 6 singles that have charted.[1] This satisfies criterion 2 of WP:MUSICBIO, which nowhere states that the recording has to chart above a certain number. I have seen quite a number of AfD where low ranking recordings have been sufficient to prove notability. Given that she had 3 singles in the top 100, including one at #41, I would say she easily satisfies criterion 2. Something extra is needed to conclusively prove notability, however.

Comment One of her notable singles is as a featured singer on Masayoshi Minoshima’s version of "Bad Apple!!", which is one of the top videos in the YouTube/Nico Nico world, [2][3] but unfortunately don't see it on Oricon. And Masayoshi Minoshima doesn't have an English article either. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:27, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Bad Apple!!" redirects to Touhou Project, and is barely mentioned. I think an article or a section concerning that song need to be fleshed out first before crediting Nomico, and then she has to pass WP:BIO1E or her article would be redirected there.

Delete for now I am not comfortable leaving a BLP article with the holes present that need filling. I have no problem if someone finds the sources and works on the article so it passes notability. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:27, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - A part of me wants this to be kept (despite neither being a fan of nor very familiar with the Touhou franchise), but a search reveals that the only hit that is close to being reliable coverage is the ANN link mentioned above. She indeed has had a few Oricon-charting singles, but even in Japanese coverage for her is sorely lacking; in fact, a search reveals several false positives for topics including what appears to be a Polish company. If she had some Japanese coverage I would have considered otherwise, but as it stands, she isn't notable. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 02:50, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
