Comment: Admittedly the case for a keep here is lacking in substance, but so is the argument for deletion. Google Scholar is ''not'' the be-all and end-all of #C1, it has many shortcomings, and clearly it's not working very well for a scholar who a) primarily publishes in Japanese and b) did most of his work pre-internet. Since I can't read Japanese there isn't a lot to go on either way, but on the basis of having a eight-year-old article on ja-wiki I'll err towards !voting keep. &ndash;&#8239
