Sources are from 2017, when subject was arrested. No newer sources (unless someone can find in Japanese) about a conviction, so not sure this passes WP:SUSPECT or even WP:BLP1E. Longhornsg ( talk) 01:51, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- Weak keep. It's not BLP1E as it doesn't meet criteria 3 -- the individuals role was both substantial and well documented. Now, it's pretty well-reported that the suspect willingly confessed to the crimes (eg.
[1]), so a minor rewording and it would almost certainly not violate
WP:SUSPECT. Moreso, it is line with a criteria of
WP:CRIME
For perpetrators ... The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual
. The only real concern is sustained coverage. Given that the subject is Japanese, I'll lean towards it being likely we're just having trouble finding them in English. — siro χ o 02:59, 15 August 2023 (UTC) - Keep - has coverage including https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/japan-s-ninja-cat-burglar-umasked-as-74yearold-man-a3667581.html and https://time.com/4997946/ninja-of-heisei-thief-japan/ to establish notability and verifiability.
