Doesn't pass WP:BAND, WP:V in current form, and has been tagged with {{notability}} for close to five years. Should be fixed (if possible) or deleted. Bjelleklang - talk 13:04, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: Yes, this needs work, but this does strike me as a case of WP:BEFORE. As one of the more popular members of AKB48, Minegishi is all over the Japanese media these days, so there are sources in abundance. I have added two English language sources to start with.

- Weak keep - Normally I would suggest a redirect to AKB48, but since there does appear to be a good number of Japanese sources now (although rather recent), that should be good enough. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:42, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I have expanded the article by adding three more Japanese references from different sources, all national sports newspapers: Sponichi, Nikkan Sports, and Sports Hochi. All have her name in the article title and all are focused on her various activities. With the other English references I added, I believe this is sufficient to pass WP:GNG.

- Weak Keep again. Google translate isn't great with Japanese but enough to show that coverage, although not to great depth, is greater than just announcements and repeats of press releases or self promotional material and there is a lot of it.

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Keep. There are a lot of AKB48 members and she has been one of the oldest members to stay. She has definitely passed WP:BAND on Criteria Number 2, with her single Give Me Five!. --Bumblezellio (talk) 10:50, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
