  • keepMr. Ueno is quite well known in Japan as a management consultant and also teaches strategy at many of the academic institutions including Globis Management School, a leading business school in Tokyo, Japan. Worth included for reference purposes for Japanese management consultants.

  • External links that I have found so far are all in Japanese. But, there are surely sources which we can now refer to.--GeorgeGeorge-M (talk) 05:08, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete unless more reliable sources can be found. Unfortunately, the Marquis WW's aren't considered reliable (see, for example, [1]), and I'm unable to find significant secondary coverage of this consultant under this name or 上野拓朗, you'd think there'd be a news article or book that gives some in-depth coverage of him somewhere. AEA membership is not a criteria for notability, nor is being a teacher (see WP:PROF for guidance on that), but more important than questions of notability are the questions of verifiability. At present, we have no verifiable reliable sources that I can see, and WP:BLP and WP:V leave little room for any result but delete in such a case. --joe deckertalk to me 20:27, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep there are a significant number of articles under the name 上野拓朗 that can be located through Scholarly and Academic Information Navigator at the National Institute of Informatics, a government-run entity, where they keep track of important academic journals in Japan. In addition, we are able to find a lot of information on this person through a general Google search in the Japanese language and, therefore, easily verify what is written about him.--TomJonesIII (talk) 12:38, 10 April 2011 (UTC)— TomJonesIII (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Comment-I am concerned about the number of SPA's voting at this AFD, I suspect someone is canvassing.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 13:56, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete On Wikipedia, notability requires verifiable evidence; I haven't found reliable secondary sources that can be used to bolster notability. Joe hasn't found any either, searching in Japanese. Because Ueno is a living person, I think that we should only have an article about him if the content meets WP:V. To respond to Tom's point about scholarly articles written by Ueno, WP:ACADEMIC should be met in order to substantiate the notability of the writer.
