Fails

reliable secondary sources detailing the person. Contested prod. Izno (talk) 00:56, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply

Neither the website of this person's employer nor the US patent office are reliable sources to establish notalbity for a wikipedia article. Ever.

And did I say they were ? Chaosdruid (talk) 00:25, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You said don't delete and then mentioned two irrelevant sources that do nothing to advance the discussion. You also said they are reliable sources. They're not. Please read wikipedia's policy on

You can always start a new [helpful] copy in your userspace. As it stands now, the article plainly fails
WP:N. I would be willing to look over the sources you find for the article, but none of the current citations indicate his notability (and imdb and vgmdb are not reliable sources to boot).

Bali's response was quite fair as well as informative. Sometimes you have to use bold to get your point across. JBsupreme (talk) 01:18, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I said they were reliable, I did not say they established notariety. The Wikipedia:Notability_(music) states under the "other" section:-
4 Has composed a number of melodies, tunes or standards used in a notable genre, or tradition or school within a notable genre.
I used IMDB and the Konami refs as proof that he was notable in the computer game music genre and the vmbd to show his works. I cannot stress enough how I do not speak/read Japanese and so cannot use any possible japanese refs.
Thanks for the bitey bit as I am indeed feeling very bitten and bali was more rude than bold - I appreciate that it may fail notability without further sources as I cannot read Japanese I cannot establish much detail on his Japnese musical career.
All I was asking was for a hold of a couple of days or so and that is not that unreasonable. It is rather daunting for editors to try and stop the wheels of deletion at the best of times. Feel free to userify it if the delete is not stopped.

imdb and vgmdb cannot be used as reliable sources (I would invite you to search for imdb on
WP:RS/N
's archives). The patent is an interesting cite, but it only proves existence, and not that the man is notable.
Re Japanese refs: A problem we run into on Wikipedia. Drop a note on WT:WikiProject Japan to see if they can help any.
As for a hold, this AfD doesn't end until the 5th. You have plenty of time to get some help. :)
Re JB: 1) Using bold can be seen as shouting (I much prefer italics to show emphasis to make sure people don't take me the wrong way), and 2) I felt there are other problems than the bold in his statement. I just left a friendly reminder anyhow. --Izno (talk) 17:15, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Why is everybody ignoring
WP:BLP but these do not cover musicians...Chaosdruid (talk) 00:46, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply

Yes, they do apply.
WP:MUSIC
is just a subset of WP:BIO - generally by default at AFD, when dealing with people, we refer to BIO for notability, or one of the more specific pages. In essence, BIO already asks "are there awards, significant reliable coverage?", while MUSIC goes into a bit more detail about charting singles, etc. Still, BIO is the primary one, and it'd be fine to refer to either.
FWIW, Takeyasu is more of a composer/producer instead of a performer. MUSIC applies to both, but moreso used with performers for some reason. Best, JamieS93 16:34, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and Bali. Not seeing any reliable sources that show any true notability. Jack Merridew 23:21, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There apprears to be a lack of reliable sources. Stormbay (talk) 04:17, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as Stormbay says. Imdb for example, is not a very good source to use as a reference.--TrustMeTHROW! 06:12, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Searching under the Japanese spelling "竹安弘" might produce better results.

  • Delete. Having searched the usual venues, I cannot find reliable sources to satisfy
    WP:BIO notability standards. JamieS93 22:55, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply
