Fails WP:Notable and WP:BLP since it until yesterday it was totally unsourced, until two sources were added for her alleged religious affiliation. An example of the problems with this article is the opening sentence: "Junko Sakurada (桜田 淳子, Sakurada Junko, born April 14, 1958) is a former singer and actress from the city of Akita, Akita Prefecture, Japan." None of these facts are sourced, including the rather remarkable assertion that she is a "former" singer. Did something happen to her so that she lost her voice?

• Keep. Nominator's actions are bordering on WP:POINT, an attempt to get rid of an entry on List of Unificationists, in order to prove a point that the list is too small [1] [2]. Note that nominator also nominated Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Unificationists (2nd nomination). Subject of the article is notable per WP:NOTE. See sources in 53 sources in books, news archives, scholarly sources. Cirt (talk) 09:41, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Is she also a doctor? Or is that someone with the same name? Northwestgnome (talk) 09:55, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I would imagine that is a different person. I will work to improve this article. Cirt (talk) 10:10, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

• Keep. She is fairly notable in Japan. The Japanese article fully describes her notability, although the English article may not yet. ―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 10:34, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Wow, thanks for linking to that one, that appears to be a much more extensive treatment. ;) Cirt (talk) 10:36, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I will withdraw the nomination if the problems with the article are solved. Northwestgnome (talk) 10:38, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

False argument. WP:UGLY, WP:NOEFFORT. Cirt (talk) 10:40, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

• There's a long list at IMDB, are we not allowed to use that? Polarpanda (talk) 10:52, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I added a list of Awards and nominations. ;) Cirt (talk) 10:56, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

That's better than nothing. How about finding a source that says she is a "former singer and actress"? 76.126.9.65 (talk) 11:00, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
