Toru Miura

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

Although he is the founder and president of AIC, there is hardly any information about his personal bio that couldn't be covered by the AIC article. I propose that information (if any useful amount) regarding the producer be merged to Anime International Company and that Toru Miura (musician) be renamed to Toru Miura.

Weak delete. We need more sources to support his notability. Being "a Japanese anime producer and the president of Anime International Company" and sourced to one website which mentions him in passing is just not enough. Where is the in-depth coverage of him? Who has written his bio? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:31, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, exactly. There's no bio. The source in passing was added by myself recently in order to get the tag off for BLP sources. The Japanese Wikipedia article lists about a line of bio and then all his works, most of which are covered by AIC anyway. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:40, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not seeing any in-depth third-party sourcing sufficient to establish independent notability of this person. --DAJF (talk) 13:46, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per AngusWOOF's reasoning. In general, biographies of living persons most of the time have sources to verify information, but in this case, there are no sources and it fails the WP:GNG and WP:V. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 17:04, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Did anyone try searching for Japanese sources? There could be at least some out there. If sources are lacking, even in Japanese, then redirect to Anime International Company, since redirects are cheap. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:14, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
