NeutralKeep as article creator. (It was kind of an experiment, as I took the name off the Wikipedia:Most-wanted articles list. Have to admit, I am at a loss to find additional references of note. If anyone else can find anything that would be appreciated, but I'm not holding my breath.) Happy to concur with any decision arrived at here. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 15:45, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Changed my vote, as, thanks to User:Athomeinkobe, there have now (03:57, 28 May 2020 (UTC)) been plenty of refs added to at least cover GNG – they were just hiding in several Japanese publications (see below). Regards, GenQuest "Talk to Me" 03:58, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep, has over 100 incoming links, so seems like a prolific figure within the tennis sport.

- This argument is fallacious but it doesn't appear to be anywhere in WP:ATA. Just because there were a lot of redlinks it doesn't presume notability. Iffy★ Chat -- 20:07, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
- Well, it does indicate she's been getting around; I think we just have to find some more refs on her. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 20:33, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - doesn't meet WP:NTENNIS for starters. Can't seem to find enough independent sources that would indicate she meets WP:GNG either. Adamtt9 ( talk) 17:09, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep, as I believe there is enough to satisfy GNG. [ This] is a sufficiently detailed report of her signing a contract with Yoshimoto Kogyo, Japan's biggest talent agency. There is also a more recent [ interview-style report] about her career, and [ another] detailing her early life before turning pro. I've been away from editing for a few years, but from what I remember these sorts of references were usually enough, despite her career not yet reaching the level required to satisfy the specific tennis player criteria. I'll have a quick crack at fleshing out the biography. AtHomeIn神戸 ( talk) 01:26, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- I have started expanding the article. I do not have any more time to work on it now, but I hope I have shown that there is enough there. There are more sources I haven't used it too.
