Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance. Indeed, I can think of several reasons this article is notable and does not qualify for deletion.

• 1 It is a branch of one of the most successful sumo stables in history, was begun by one of the most well-known still living yokozuna in history, who is only the second foreigner to become yokozuna, and only the second foreign born retired wrestler to start his own stable.
• 2 This is all because he wanted to continue the tradition of of the Musashigawa name when the new head changed the name of the stable.
• 3 It is also the only new stable established in the sumo world in 6 years, quite a rarity.
• 4 This stable also has a corresponding article in Japanese, as of course, it's notability in Japan is unquestioned, and the simple fact that this article is in English should not be to it's detriment, as even if it did have top division wrestlers it would still be just as unknown to the average English speaking Westerner, which would disqualify essentially every stable listed on the list of sumo beya from notability.

The western equivalent of this would be "new" professional sports team made up of largely rookie players that had no article. It was also the only stable in the list of sumo beya that did not have an article, but this was only because of someone not yet getting around to it until now. The unfortunate fact that it as yet has no top division wrestlers is only due to it's newness and it has many other reasons for notability. FourTildes (talk) 01:49, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
