She is notable. She is a famous AV star in Japan and one of the few that has made it big in China. There's Wikipedia entries in 3 other languages about her and mentioned in two other places in Wikipedia. MaytheFarcebewithYou (talk) 01:31, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. This is a difficult one, first because she has been active under so many different names: Elly Akira (晶エリー), Yuka Osawa (大沢佑香), and her own name of Fareeza Terunuma (照沼ファリーザ). It is clear her AV career was a long one, but what seems most pertinent to WP:PORNBIO is that she won a best new actress award at the 2007 Pink Grand Prix: [1]. Also, she is active as a photographer and performance artist, and won an award at the 12th edition of Geisai, an art festival put on by Takashi Murakami: [2]. She is also getting her own solo exhibitions: [3]. The article already has a link to some English articles on her artistic activities, though I am not sure if these are RS or not. Again, this is a tough one, but I lean keep because of the awards. Michitaro (talk) 01:41, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
There's a lot more I can do to expand on her profile but the translations take a long. Also, she's got an entry in IMDB MaytheFarcebewithYou (talk) 02:19, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
- Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 01:19, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- Keep. I have added more material to the article. In addition to the Pink Grand Prix prize mentioned above, she also won two awards at the 2009 AV Grand Prix, the most prestigious adult video awards in Japan at that time. She is a prominent and exceedingly prolific AV actress who was nominated as Best Actress at the Adult Broadcasting Awards and was voted as one of the top 100 best AV actresses of all time in a recent poll. She is also an award-winning artist with mainstream credits in other media. Cherryblossom1982 (talk) 08:10, 18 November 2013 (UTC)Cherryblossom1982
- Comment. More info has been added to the page. She easily passes WP:PORNBIO on several counts and passes WP:BIO as an entertainer and an artist.
