The result was soft delete. WP:REFUND applies. Not the strongest consensus I've seen but enough to call it a de-facto expired Prod. Ad Orientem (talk) 03:41, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per the lead, one of the most significant facts about this actor is that he is "represented by Foster Management". I can't read Japanese, but I suspect he fails WP:ACTOR. Mduvekot (talk) 00:04, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete - This is somewhat of a borderline case. The current article is not well-written (though it follows the form of the Japanese article), but his main claim to fame is starring in the current edition of the Super Sentai series. That is a significant role, but that is not yet the multiple roles needed by WP:NACTOR. Some actors debuting in tokusatsu series have gone on to become major stars (Joe Odagiri is a good example), but some have not. The current article has sourcing only in terms of his initial casting, and thus as coverage is not that significant. Searches come up with a few more: [1], [2], [3], etc. So it is not as if there is nothing out there, but I feel this is still a bit WP:TOOSOON. Michitaro (talk) 00:54, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete- as above, borderline. He does have a Japanese page, but he has had very few roles, and as an actor, he works part time as a hairdresser (seems to imply he isn't a big actor, but not sure!) Deathlibrarian (talk) 02:46, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
