Ayumu Shiiba

This character does not assert notability outside the manga. It is unlikely that any third party sources will ever talk about it outside of the context of the series, so it has no reason to exist. TTN (talk) 16:19, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no real-world notability. – sgeureka ^t•c 08:57, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Contra the nominator's assertion, it is quite possible that third-party sources talk about this character, as she is the lead in a series intending to be socially aware (read, shocking) that has been adapted as a live-action tv drama -- precisely the sort of thing that conservative commentators love to pontificate about. Such commentary, however, is likely to be in Japanese. I strongly suggest we get some people from the Japan WikiProject in here for an assist. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:58, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While the article certainly needs improvement, being the main character in a manga and a live-action tv drama is a definite indication of notability. Edward321 (talk) 05:15, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete & redirect to Life (manga), all the character info is there. The subject isn't notable per guidelines to warrant an individual article. RMHED (talk) 23:38, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
