Rihito Takarai[edit]

Per WP:TOOSOON, even though works appear on MADB and ANN and are published by Digital Manga in English, none are Wikipedia-notable (no blue links). JA Wikipedia also shows no blue links to individual works. If Seven Days and others chart on Oricon lists, then please cite that. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:22, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. What I have found:
1. Rihito Takarai is credited for the movie Seven Days ([1]), and the movie charted on Oricon: DVD ([2]), Blu-ray Disc ([3]), Making-of ([4]).
2. Ten Count is completely Rihito Takarai's work, including the story. "Ten Count 2" Drama CD charted on Oricon CD Albums Chart very high, at no. 15 ([5], [6]). It was also at no. 10 in the monthly Anime CD Chart ([7]). --Moscow Connection (talk) 09:34, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But did Seven Days manga chart in Oricon? The anime is an adaptation. Unless she created original material for the anime and the live-action film, what her adaptations rank does not matter. Same with Ten Count and its drama CD. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:53, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

'Delete. No third-party sourcing or in-depth coverage to adequately demonstrate that this person satisfies the basic notability guidelines. Does appear to be a case of WP:TOOSOON. --DAJF (talk) 08:39, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I can see significant coverage in Google News: [8]. --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:25, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete at best actually because this, all in all, is still questionably better for the applicable notability. Draft and Userfy at best if needed. SwisterTwister talk 05:51, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
