[edit] TAKUYA∞

TAKUYA∞ (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

He might be notable, but if so, this article's problems are so great it should be deleted and re-created in acceptable form. Biruitorul 01:59, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Biruitorul. I took a stab at a re-write eliminating the unverified and inappropriate content. I come up with a single remaining sentence:

TAKUYA∞ is the stage name of Takuya Shimizu (清水 琢也), a singer and composer/programmer in the Japanese band 'UVERworld'.

but at least the facts in this statement have a 'reasonable' reference (Japanese Sony Music.com site). I also added a Japanese musician stub template and Japanese pop singer as category. I have no idea about this guy's notability but I believe this single sentence / stub is the only thing left of the original article after cleanup. If it still qualifies for deletion - that's OK with me too. Pugetbill 19:54, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, what we have now is certainly better than before. Biruitorul 22:16, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

• Keep The guy is notable, his group has a song for a tv show theme. The article does need some cleaning up, but that doesn't need to be done by deleting the article. what should be done is to ask someone from wikiprojects music to work on it. Icestorm815 03:16, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. The band may be notable, but I see nothing that makes this subject notable outside of that context. Nuttah68 07:34, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete notability is not inherited, and where does it say he has a song for a tv show theme ? - besides, if "-he is 'specialized' in ignoring his surroundings" he wont notice its been AfD'd. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 04:03, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Nothing here points to notability. Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 22:11, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete doesn't seem notable, I also don't see any notable contributions or anything referenced above (TV show?). Allgoodnamesalreadytaken 02:32, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per IceStorm815. 96T 15:52, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Even the fan pages do not say he's done anything outside of being in his band (unless you count flipping the hat off a police officer). The members section of the band page can be expanded to have more information on each member. Giving him a separate page would just be "inheriting" the notability of his band.

• Delete for now, since he's never done anything outside of being a member of UVERworld. It's not like he's Hyde from L'Arc or anything. Maikeru 16:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, no notability asserted. JIP | Talk 04:35, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
