Deletion of Shoko Goto (3rd nomination)

Comment: Having rather reluctantly done something to preserve the Kent Derricott article and then getting the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kent Derricott|impression that I might been more effective than I'd feared, I was eager to wash the odor of wholesomeness out of my hair and thus moved along the list of Japan-related AfDs to an article on this person, who seems more attractive and is certainly more cushioned. My careful researches so far, of course carried out purely for encyclopedic and altruistic ends, lead me to suggest that she's often romanized as "Syoko Goto"; this might bring the occasional ''substantive'' ghit in addition to all the dross. No comment (yet) on her articleworthiness, a matter on which I don't think I'm (yet) qualified to judge. But a couple of notes: (i) She has an article in bat-smg:WP (:bat-smg:Shoko_Goto); what language is this? (Baltic, perhaps, but what?) (ii) Particularly in view of en:WP's general discouragement of |peacock terms, must external links really be noted as "''(contains adult material)''"? How about instead "''(contains photographs of uncovered tits

Comment: Editing mostly Chinese-related articles and in many cases having relied on sources that are in the Chinese language, I'm not insensitive to cultural bias on WP, and have helped save and translate articles in the past that would have appeared not notable if we relied only on English-language sources.  Having said that, I'm entirely unconvinced that , specifically the criteria for porn stars, is culturally biased.  It's based on three basic criteria:  1) awards won or nominated, 2) notable contribution like starting a trend, 3) and appearances in mainstream media.  Unless there's no industry awards in the Japanese porn industry, I don't see how these criteria are culturally biased.  Another point that I would like to make is that a lot of articles are made on porn stars that are simply not notable, and a quick look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pornography/Deletion shows that the overwhelming majority of porn star articles that have been deleted in the past, at least judging by their names, are ''American'' porn stars.  Which only goes to show that  has been just as strict, if not stricter, regarding American porn stars

Comment: per  as an entertainer who ''Has been featured multiple times in mainstream media.''   This is most obviously apparent when you look at the availability of Goto's works at Amazon.co.jp, where she currently has 26 DVDs listed, and it looks like roughly half even feature her name in the title.  Those same types of videos may not be classified as mainstream in the US, but, while this is the English language wikipedia, it is not necessarily the US-culture-and-morals-centric wikipedia.  What may be mainstream in one country is not necessarily the same in another.  Amazon, with a global reputation to uphold, would seem to be a good barometer of what is accepted/popular in each country
