Ryu Goto[edit]

This page appears to be self promotional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by YukioTakahashi (talk • contribs) 2008/01/10 07:03:24

Keep. I don't know what the evidence is that the article is self promotional, and that in itself isn't a justification for deleting it as in this case a Google search reveals that the subject enjoys some notability, including a warm review in the Washington Post.

Keep While there does seem to be some self-promotion it doesn't seem blatant enough to require deletion. VivioFateFan ^{(Talk, Sandbox)} 14:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I confess I'm not seeing much that's self-promotional, and in any case, as long as the subject's notable that's not a valid reason to delete but rather clean up. As AlasdairGreen27 notes, it's fairly easy to find evidence of this prodigy's notability. Keep and tag for sourcing. —Quasirandom (talk) 15:26, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A significant review in a major source is sufficient. DGG (talk) 16:58, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
