Twinkle stumbled when I tried this for the first time I think due to including a Japanese link. Anyway- Subject is a musician that does not appear to make WP:MUSICBIO because her albums have not charted nor seems to have a strong fan following. Discography section also looks like a copyvio from segaku.com. Time to go. Jip Orlando (talk) 13:06, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This musician has articles in both Japanese and Chinese Wikipedias, indicating a possibility of notability. Nevertheless, neither article offers evidence that the criteria is met. The Japanese article is unsourced, and there appears to be only one source in the Chinese version. If Eriko Kawasaki meets WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO, then it is neither demonstrated nor verified in this article. Looking online myself, I found I could do no better. This could perhaps be moved to draft, but as it stands, this has to be judged as non-notable. MartinJones (talk) 13:53, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment no notable singles or albums charting on Oricon despite having a profile there. [1] [2] Is she associated with any particular idol group? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:02, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment She is associated with 'K-Ble Jungle' but I can't find anything about them in Oricon when entered in English. I don't speak a lick of Japanese so it's possible they exist as the Japanese translation of 'K-Ble Jungle' if indeed that is their Japanese name. However, it doesn't appear that this group has charted either. Jip Orlando (talk) 14:43, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It seems the majority of her recent work has been voice acting for anime, or narration for live action television. The Oricon profile listed above has her "appearing" on TV pretty much every week, but it seems it is mostly narration work. Her agency's page ([3]) basically only shows her voice acting and narration work, so one could say the current article is out of date because it only focuses on her (perhaps former) career as a singer. Perhaps those who know voice actors better than I do can speak up. Michitaro (talk) 14:29, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment OK, I think I've found the problem. The article is currently linked to the Japanese and Chinese Wikipedia articles on Eriko Kawasaki/川崎恵理子, but I am now pretty sure that is a DIFFERENT person than is introduced in the English article. That person is 44 years old from Saitama and has been a voice actor/narrator for over 20 years. The Oricon profile AngusWOOF introduced covers this person (who has a profile not because she is a singer but because she is a voice performer on some DVDs). The Eriko Kawasaki covered in the article is from Nagasaki and, while her own profile ([4]) does not give her age, she seems to have still been in high school in 2002. She's also living in Italy. So we have to look for information on this person, not the other Eriko Kawasaki. Michitaro (talk) 14:55, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
