Deletion of Nisio Isin

Comment: Article is |verified. '''Speedy keep''' if the original submitter presents no further problems.  I feel that the nominator's reasoning is |flawed. Neither the Library of Congress nor OCLC member institutions regularly catalog manga or light novels that are published in Japanese.  (LOC is very backloged and there's no demand for such records. OCLC's Japanese members are usually academic libraries whose focus is not manga.)  If we search the http://www.ndl.go.jp/en/data/opac.html National Diet Library's catalog for the author's name in the native language (西尾 維新), it pulls bibliographic entries for works listed on the pages, no problem.  We can verify that the Mephisto-Award exists and that Nishio Isin was the recipient of one http://media.excite.co.jp/daily/thursday/030612/p05.html per this column "Nyūsuna Hondana" on a Japanese news portal. Additional article fact checking is better done outside of the AFD process

Comment: but should be checked by those with the ability to verify facts in Japanese, and unverifiable claims removed; while ju66l3r is incorrect to believe that this needs deleting, he is correct to be concerned about .For example, I believe that the article is incorrect to state that the Mephisto award is an annual event, given that -- unless I'm misreading something -- it would seem that over 30 Mephistos have been awarded since 1996. If other parts of the article are equally unreliable, considerable cleanup may be required. Perhaps an {{expert}} tag would be appropriate once this AfD has been cleared up. &mdash
