This article fails to show why this subject is notable. All of the links in the article are to primary sources of one sort or another. Generally fails WP:N. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 23:59, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, a big question mark for BLP Shii (tock) 05:18, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - absolutely zero reliable sources, which are needed for basic notability. Bearian (talk) 04:21, 21 February 2010 (UTC) Addendum: There are some primary sources available (non-notable lawsuits, etc.), but those are about his business ventures, not about the subject.

- Keep and revise to comply with WP:BLP - Current sourcing is poor and the article in its present form reads like an attack page, but better sources are available. Sample:[1][2][3][4][5]. --RrburkeekrubrR 19:07, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- You will need to add these to the article, then, as the article currently is not acceptable. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:33, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, NW (Talk) 01:36, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and Revise as per Rrburke, deleting all unsourced contentious material, in addition to making any other changes required by WP:BLP. --Joe Decker (talk) 06:02, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and Revise per above, taking into account WP:ATD.--Cyclopiatalk 16:33, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This is a poorly sourced WP:BLP article (half of the links are dead and are making highly contentious claims!!) -- if the content is legit, this is a truly despicable human being, but the real problem here is verifiability and the shaky ground its on.

- Rrburke above provided working sources. --Cyclopiatalk 11:48, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
