Comment- This could be linked to the AfD for Kaori Ishihara, since they are both in the same unit, but there are some articles on her apart from Ishihara. She seems to have appeared a number of times in the national sports papers, such as: [1], [2], [3]. The Japanese Wikipedia article for her has a lot of citations, but most are to blogs and non-independent sources. But one link was to a regional newspaper: [4]. I should note that there are articles about the unit as well: [5]. To say she is a "complete unknown" is simply not true. Michitaro (talk) 01:41, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. 14 results for "小倉唯" on Google News, 5 different sources ("おた☆スケ", "インフォシーク", "マイナビニュース", "アニメ！アニメ！", "サーチナニュース"). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hyuganatsu (talk • contribs) 01:13, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not exactly sure how reliable the sources found by Hyganatsu are (they seem to be rather short). I did find some GNews hits, but they're about YuiKaori. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 21:18, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think the main issue here is whether there is enough significant coverage or activity beyond YuiKaori (the notability of which, with all the Oricon charting, is not questioned) to justify a stand alone page. I searched Oricon and was confused at first because this seems to show nothing. But a second search showed that there is another page here that shows she has several charting singles, including a recent one that reached number 8. As I noted with the Kaori Ishihara AfD, according to WP:MUSICBIO, a musician "may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria," one of which is "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." A top-ten charting plus the articles on her as a voice actor ([6] [7]), as a tarento (the citations I gave above), or as a solo singer ([8]) should be enough to pass WP:ENTERTAINER.

Keep per Michitaro's links. If a person's songs charted, and does get reliable sources, then he/she is notable per WP:ENTERTAINER. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 23:40, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, MBisanz ^talk 05:26, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I would have thought the voice acting alone was enough to justify her passing WP:Notable. She has had some fairly high profile roles (like in Quantam Hack), and presumably coverage in Japanese media that I can't access Deathlibrarian (talk) 07:42, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Multiple major roles in anime, passes WP:ENTERTAINER per above. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:41, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
