Monkey King (Taisuke Yamamoto)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not notable. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Has a lot of sources but none are independent reliable sources that provide any depth of coverage about Monkey King. A mix of shops, blogs, bandcamp, listings, his own sites, passing mentions and him talking about himself. Closest to being good is a puff piece on UrbanWire by a "ADHD fashionista-cum-foodie-cum-hardcore partygoer", but that is a "magazine produced by final-year online journalism students of the School of Film & Media Studies, Ngee Ann Polytechnic,". duffbeerforme (talk) 11:13, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Most I find from searching the hiragana form of the name gives ja:山本泰輔 the voice actor. Adding "rap" or "rapper" doesn't help. 野狼院ひさし _{Hisashi Yarouin} 09:25, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete - As it stands, the article, which was created by an SPA, does not have the significant independent RS to satisfy WP:GNG. The problem is that additional searches don't come up with anything better. I also searched for him in Japanese and just cannot find anything. Michitaro (talk) 01:18, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
