Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:ENTERTAINER. No significant coverage in reliable independent sources. All sources primary or from wrestling database with no criteria for inclusion. Nikki♥311 01:16, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:PW/RS. Puroresuspirit.net and voicesofwrestling.com are not reliable sources. DramaticDDT is primary. They do not establish notability. Nikki♥311 16:59, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. The subject competes in Puroresu, which is the Japanese version of professional wrestling. As such, according to WP:NATHLETE, pro wrestlers fall under the WP:ENTERTAINER guidelines. And based on what the article says, he appears like he might meet criterion #1 in that guideline. The article sourcing is terrible, I agree. In the case of specific guidelines for certain professions, however, sources aren't the point; rather, the guideline criteria must be examined. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:01, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In my understanding, the promotions he has worked for are all smaller independent promotions rather than major promotions, and he has only held championships in one of them. Does this meet "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions."? If anything, that is a significant role in one company, which doesn't meet the criteria of WP:ENTERTAINER. Nikki♥311 05:43, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Nikki311: I was referring to "Guts World" and "Big Japan" performances as described in the article to meet the criterion of "multiple". Whether those are notable, I cannot say, hence my qualifier of "weak". ~Anachronist (talk) 21:57, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
