Nikkan Saizo : The latest news on TV, entertainment, comedy, and society. So the relevant guideline is WP:PRIMARYNEWS. This is a point that is often missed. News sources are usually primary sources. This first source starts off with:
The YouTuber duo Maizen Sisters (Zenichi & Micky) boasting 2.72 million channel subscribers. On January 19, it was announced on the official Twitter that they would be looking for new voice actors, causing a stir.The translation looks a touch iffy there, but the sense is clear. The article tells the news audience who they are and provides news - they said something on Twitter and it caused a stir. This is a primary source. Note that per PRIMARYNEWS, it doesn't matter whether you dice this as a report on events, a human interest story or even an editorial, this still falls firmly within the primary source territory. This should not be a great surprise. These kinds of source are nearly always primary. It is not just Wikipedia consensus saying so - this is how academics will treat them. They can still be reliable and independent, but they are primary. Primary sources do not count towards subject notability. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 16:19, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: More consideration of GNG/notability would be preferable in determining consensus.

Primary sources may include newspaper articles, [etc.]. But again, it is not just Wikipedia saying this. News coverage is a primary source. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 12:42, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: On Wikipedia, news sources are generally considered to be secondary sources, that can count toward GNG if they are reliable and contain intellectually independent content. An analysis of whether the Japanese sources meet these criteria would be very helpful.

Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion and Wikipedia is not written in news style. For example, routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities, while sometimes useful, is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion of the subject of that coverage. I note that this may be talking more about the events than the bios, but the argument remains. Sustained news coverage over a period may well be an indicator of notability, however, per WP:SUSTAINED. An example of that would be Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Holly Lodge Girls' College, where I yesterday based my keep vote on the extent of the coverage (100 years in that case, but that might be excessive!), despite all the sources being newspapers.
