Nominate for deletion Tagged for notability for 5 years, still doesn't seem to meet guidelines Boleyn (talk) 16:32, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the author has been given many years now to verify the claims. Currently (and from the outset) the article reads like an online CV with quite a bit of WP:PUFF too. Though there is the possibility of sources existing in Japanese, there's no hint of notability elsewhere. Sionk (talk) 17:42, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article is a mess, but she clearly passes WP:CREATIVE, especially condition 4. First, she was the screenwriter for the Asadora Kokoro, which was one of the top rated TV shows of 2003, with an average rating of 21.3%. Kokoro was the last Asadora to top 20% until 2012. I should note that the Asadora is one of the most important drama slots on Japanese TV and being hired to write the 150 episode series is one of the top honors for a TV writer in Japan. Announcing who will star and who will write for the Asadora is news, so the Yomiuri Shinbun announced it on 2002.08.30 on p. 38 (I checked the Yomiuri database--this is not on a public site). Riso no kekkon was also a hit drama for TBS, and Aoyagi was in the news for the unusual feat of writing three different shows in successive seasons (Yomiuri 1997.03.25, p. 9). Her work for the net drama The Scary City even got coverage in the Yomiuri (2008.10.28, p. 14). Checking the Asahi Shinbun database (also not public), I see she also has been featured in articles on 2008.12.8, 2002,8,30 (again the Asadora announcement), and 1999.11.5 (in which she is said to be "spurting out hit after hit on commercial television"). The article needs to be rewritten for WP:NPOV, but at least for a decade between 1995 and 2005, she was one of the top screenwriters on Japanese television.

Note that I did add an interwiki link to the Japanese article. The article has been tagged for POV issues as well, but mainly with regard to post-2005 activities. Michitaro (talk) 16:22, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I agree with the above comment that she passes WP:CREATIVE. There may not be much on her in English, but there's plenty in Japanese. Cckerberos (talk) 08:38, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per Michitaro's analysis. Jun Kayama 06:59, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Has received coverage in several Japanese sources. Also passes criterion #4 of WP:CREATIVE. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 10:57, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
