Unacceptable sourcing on a BLP for a footballer that played in 2 cup games then disappeared. Searching in Japanese, I can only find coverage of the musician of the same name. I've had a look at Japanese Wikipedia but none of the sources there show WP:SIGCOV. Similar case to Yuki Toma and Kei Hirata, which were created by the same editor.

Delete as what the nomination says. By the way, Spiderone, I kinda like the fact you're referring to corresponding article on the subject's original language in AfD! Clara A. Djalim (talk) 09:11, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CuteDolphin712 in fairness, Japanese Wikipedia articles for footballers tend to be of a very high quality in my experience so it tends to be a good indicator on whether the en.wiki article is worth having. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:31, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
