Non-notable actor lacking non-trivial support. reddogsix (talk) 03:15, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep with expansion. Won a Golden Bell Award (major award in Taiwanese entertainment) in 2013. Note that she is currently more active in Taiwan than in Japan, so Chinese sources might reap more for the interested. See also zh:大久保麻梨子 and ja:大久保麻理子 for expansion. 野狼院ひさし _{Hisashi Yarouin} 06:01, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - There are plenty of sources in Japanese media: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], etc. I even got one in Chinese as I searched Japanese sources: [7]. Passes WP:GNG, but certainly such sources need to be inserted in the article. Michitaro (talk) 13:32, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep did reddogsix do any research as WP:BEFORE stipulates? All he had to do was look at a translation of Wikpedia's Chinese page to see she won a Golden Bell Award. [8] It takes less than 10 seconds. --Oakshade (talk) 05:59, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The Chinese page has the same issue that English page does, it fails to cite support for the claim. As you know, Wikipedia cannot be used as a reference for an article. Thanks... reddogsix (talk) 15:07, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reddogsix, so you didn't follow WP:BEFORE. WP:NOTABILITY only requires the existence of sources. You didn't even have to look at Chinese sources and translate them. It took only 3 seconds to find just an English language verification that she's a Golden Bell Award winner. [9] --Oakshade (talk) 17:12, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I believe the statement says something about reliable sources - Wikipedia is not an independent resource. At any rate, thanks for your hard work, please add the reference to the article. My best to you. reddogsix (talk) 17:51, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

YesAsia is not Wikipedia. Please do due diligence before prodding or nominating an article for deletion in the future. --Oakshade (talk) 18:20, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Sorry for the confusion, your first example was from Wikipedia. [10]. Please add the valid reference to the article. reddogsix (talk) 18:43, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, you're keeping this AfD going because you want the reference in the article despite WP:AFD stating "f you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination."? --Oakshade (talk) 22:44, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per above accurate analysis and links, passes WP:ANYBIO, WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. As mentioned above, Chinese WP lists several RS about the subject, and WP:NRVE requires that sources are available, not that they are used in the an article. AfD is not cleanup, and being unsourced or in poor shape is not a reason for deletion. Cavarrone 06:39, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, passes WP:BASIC.--114.81.255.40 (talk) 07:05, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
