Okuda Shoji

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Has had no sources since 2007. A search for sources finds passing mention in articles on the air raid ([1], [2], [3], etc.), but none provide more than passing mention. The Japanese Wiki article on the raid doesn't even mention his full name, and other searches in Japanese fail to come up with his full name in kanji. The information in this article is basically given in The Lookout Air Raid article, so this article is unnecessary. Fails especially the "significant coverage" part of WP:GNG. They only criterion in WP:SOLDIER it might possibly pass is number 6, but no sources indicate how important he was to the mission. Michitaro (talk) 14:24, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No sourcing to verify any of the claims, and notability has not been demonstrated. --DAJF (talk) 02:18, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to either Lookout Air Raids or Nobuo Fujita. A reasonable search term as a participant, however insufficent notability for a stand-alone article. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 12:15, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
