Unsourced WP: BLP. Not eligible for WP: BLPROD due to the "External links" section containing a single link (to a one-man website with no editorial oversight); attempted regular WP: PROD which was contested. Martin IIIa ( talk) 14:01, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

- This is a case where I daresay WP:COMMONSENSE applies. Yes, the article is in need of improvement and there is currently only an external link to a website. He clearly meets WP:NBASE as a Japanese pro player. He was apparently twice the league MVP. Keep and tag for improvement or better yet -- add reliable sources yourself.

- Keep. The external links section also contains a link to baseball reference, in addition to the one you mentioned. He is in the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame for pete's sake.... clearly this guy is notable.

- The issue there might be that the other one doesn't seem to work. But again, WP:PRESERVE applies. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 15:53, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Played in NPB, meaning he passes WP:NSPORTS. Member of the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame, almost surely meets WP:GNG, but how good are we all with Japanese language sources, especially ones dating back to the late 1960s, that might not be online? Page needs improvement, not deletion. – Muboshgu ( talk) 16:28, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep obviously, but, on a side note, why is the color scheme for the Japanese Hall of Fame red, white and blue? Is there a more Japanese appropriate color scheme we should be using? Kinston eagle ( talk) 18:40, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep clearly notable, as plainly demonstrated above. Lepricavark ( talk) 18:48, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep as a straight-up WP:NBASE pass. Ejgreen77 ( talk) 03:28, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
