• Keep, perhaps speedily. This is a deeply flawed nomination of an author and archeologist of great fame. It is true that in 1946 after being demobilized he was an amateur when he made his first great discovery, however he later become the director of the Akagi Institute for Anthropological Studies. He received the Yoshikawa Eiji Prize. He has an official museum. There is a movie made about him. Oh, and he meets
  WP:ANYBIO(3) since he has entries in multiple biographical dictionaries as can be seen here, including: 20th Century Japanese Name Dictionary, Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica, Yamakawa Japanese History Dictionary, Digital Japanese Name Dictionary.

• Keep - Meets
  WP:ANYBIO, per his entries in biographic dictionaries, the museum, and award. Article should be improved based on the sources found by Fulmard. Netherzone (talk) 23:36, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply

  Quite a few hits for him on Google Books in English, and a few things found via the Wikipedia Library. I agree, the subject of the article may qualify for speedy. Netherzone (talk) 00:13, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Because of dudes insane levels of notability. AfD’s of articles in a foreign language REALLY need to click on the other languages tab as the very first step in a WP:Before search. Even if nominators are not able to read the language necessary for a proper Before search, a hugely long article in a foreign language Wikipedia is a great way to avoid false negatives before even attempting a web search. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Absurdum4242 (talk • contribs)
