Doesn't have any sources and I haven't found many that seem reliable or that can verify a lot of the info here. It is also an autobiography. Comatmebro ~Come at me~ 01:02, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

- Comment: It's possible the subject could end up being notable if some decent sources are found. I know that the people who participate in these discussions generally are very good at finding them if they exist, which is why I thought it'd be best to start this discussion. The page is in a very poor state so I figured it'd be best to find out whether or not it should even be a page before anyone spends time trying to clean it up.

- Comment: I'm not sure "I want you guys to look up references" is an actual criterion for deletion. The article did have references in earlier revisions. I wish there was a simple "delete anything started as an autobiography" criterion, but there's not. The references there are to such sources as Rafu Shimpo, a publication that has apparently been around since at least 1928 and likely passes the test of RS; The Japan Times probably does as well. Lack of verifiability is a reason to edit the article down to what is verifiable, not a basis for deletion. --Nat Gertler (talk) 01:59, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
- Response: There were signs that the subject may not be notable: written by subject, no references, and I was unsure of the reliability of the few references I found from searching. That is why I nominated it here so that a discussion could take place on the notability and reliable sources could be identified if they exist. It looks like that is what happened so this discussion was beneficial. Comatmebro ~Come at me~ 00:25, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
- There's also an entire article about him in the Los Angeles Times. [1] Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 16:52, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
