Reviewed during NPP. No indication of wp:notability under GNG or SNG. To be honest I did not fully analyze the non-English sources but everything derived / sourced from them is basic resume-type factiods rather than GNG type coverage. Some concern regarding the creator with 168 lifetime edits and a wiki-expert at edit #1 and all edits have been on individuals who would commercially benefit from having a Wikipedia article.

- Comment:
- Regarding the nominator's comment about the article creator's other edits: EnigmaSeeker has also created articles about historical figures. These people are presumably gaining little commercial benefit from their articles since they are dead.

- Weak delete. Article as it stands is a professional profile, and virtually all the English-language coverage of the individual is attributed statements, with an occasional mention of prior jobs, but not enough to construct an article. The Japanese-language sources in the article don't provide independent SIGCOV either. —siroχo 04:58, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
