The result was no consensus. Even after disregarding Bellaclarita's contribution - angry questions to the nominator are not valid arguments to keep an article - we don't have agreement about whether this group is notable separate from its revue. Sandstein 15:33, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

While the revue is itself notable, this troupe is not. Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage about this troupe, by itself, to pass WP:GNG. Would redirect, but another editor insists on recreating. Onel5969 TT me 14:04, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
1. The so-called "searches" that were done, where were these done? How many people had done it? Searching on Yahoo Japan, Google, or Twitter? Searching for Japanese topics and trying to read Japanese text using Google translate? Or just searching for English info? Because if searches were done using the 2 former methods, the sheer amount of Takarazuka-related Japanese Wikipedia pages alone should've kept you busy for the next 3 months, and have no time to be typing here.
2. Let's assume for a moment that, to have the confidence to decide an individual listing of a Takarazuka troupe unnecessary, Onel5969 has sufficient knowledge of the Takarazuka Revue: So please, take look at the chart and explain to us why there are such terms as "School Year" and "Graduated". Explain to us why a theatre company with a limited fanbase needs to have 5 teams (400+ members) and how the teams rotate, how the performances are planned and scheduled. Explain to us the difference between the 5 troupes. Which one is known to have the best dancers? Which one is known to have taller members? Which one is known for the best sword fights? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bellaclarita ( talk • contribs)
