The result was draftify. When there are multiple reliable sources, send through WP:AFC for review rather than directly moving into mainspace. czar 18:05, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Has been redirected, has been draftified, in hopes of improving the sourcing. With no effect. Currently it is sourced by two primary and one unreliable source. Searches only turned up coverage in that same unreliable source. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:25, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify - Most sources are either primary like Honda Racing or WP:ROUTINE like Formula Scout - both reliable, but neither WP:SIGCOV. I could only find one in-depth, independent, non-routine article (and it was by searching his name in Japanese), so for now it appears that he doesn't meet GNG – maybe someone with better knowledge of Japanese can find more. Either way, his recent F4 title, affiliation to Honda and promotion to Super Formula Lights (the step inmediately below Super Formula) suggest that WP:POTENTIAL for notability is high, so I think incubating in draftspace until more sources appear and/or he wins in SFL is the way to go here.

I would have draftified, except it had already been sent to draft. If it is sent to draft, it should only be allowed to be moved into mainspace with Admin approval. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 23:15, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify – This shouldn't have been moved to mainspace, there's no way it's ready. I agree with MSport1005's assessment, the subject doesn't meet GNG for now. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 07:23, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
