Delete. Agree with the nominator. No in-depth coverage or third-party sourcing to demonstrate adequate notability. --DAJF (talk) 04:09, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per substantial coverage in reliable independent sources (for example Forbes). Billionaires are usually notable. Candleabracadabra (talk) 00:09, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment What's the reason for the scare quotes around business in the nom? --Cckerberos (talk) 17:52, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While he seems to be somewhat controversial, he has been subject to considerable coverage in the major Japanese press, especially the business press: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], etc. Coverage in the English language press also exists: [14], [15], [16], etc. Easily passes WP:GNG.

Keep There are certainly enough sources, which is not surprising for 25th richest in Japan, which is quite an accomplisment. 'DGG (at NYPL)' (talk) 18:43, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
