Japanese video game programmer. Of three refs in article, two are for interviews and one (deleted) was a wiki-type page. Further research turns up maybe one decent ref, but not enough to establish the independent in-depth coverage needed for notability. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 05:16, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what's wong with the interviews. Interviews are the best information sources, you know. Anyway, the are articles with less information and references and still you keep them (for example: Mari Asato) DaftRose (talk) 18:08, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is not any prohibition from using info from an interview DaftRose. This article subject is notable, and has references which offer significant coverage in WP:RS reliable sources. thereby passing WP:GNG. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant (talk) 18:38, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant, you are correct that there is no prohibition, but the supplement to WP:Verifiability says to treat them as primary rather than secondary sources. What is missing from this article are good secondary sources, which is why I nominated the article.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 21:57, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A quick search on the WP:VG/RS custom Google search engine brings up some more reliable sources and info: apparently Sato also worked on Fatale by Tale of Tales and worked with Virtual Heroes, Inc.. Sato was interviewed for Game Developer, which can be found here. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 08:05, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
