Deletion of Ryu Goto (2nd nomination)

Comment: PeterSymonds says it well. AfD is a simple equation really: if there isn't significant coverage in reliable sources, the article should be deleted. That equation is a logical consequence of an encyclopaedia that strives for |verifiability and accuracy. I can be convinced to change my mind by the sourcing, but at this stage, deletion appears warranted

Comment: Despite the protestations above, no evidence has been put forward that this meets the notability guidelines. No new sources have been introduced. We are not disputing they exist; what ''we'' need is |reliable, |secondary coverage. If you cannot provide that, we cannot retain the article

Comment: article now sourced enough to satify , , and almost any other notability standard you care to throw at it.  Hats off to

Comment: The article meets  (criteria 1, 4, 5). I do not understand the arguments given above where it's stated that the article was "unreferenced" or that there were no references given. This was blatantly false. At the time this article was nominated for AfD, there were two references. Neither were probably enough to establish notability as per Wikipedia guidelines, but both gave indications of his stature in the classical music world, and should have been clues that other sources are out there (I mean, how many folks are there with the credentials of undertaking worldwide soloist tours with major orchestras and are signed to Deutsche Grammaphon?). And lo and behold, a few minutes of research gave up http://news.google.com/archivesearch?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22ryu+goto%22&cf=all, which includes reviews from the Washington Post, LA Times, among other major newspapers (someone with LexisNexis/ProQuest access will probably have to add those) as well as http://www.etaiwannews.com/etn/news_content.php?id=982743&lang=eng_news from Taiwan's version of the AP, which speaks to his fame in Japan. This is clearly a case where this article deserves improvement, rather than the hammer of AfD. I would hope that in the future, the nominator spend a little more time doing research before bringing articles to AfD
