Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kinuyo Yamashita
I've been chewing over this debate on-and-off all day and my standpoint's gone back and forth. My opinion is that the |reliability and depth of the cumulative sources don't quite cut the mustard for a |biography of a living person, particularly seeing as the lady's claim to fame is for composing the ''Castlevania'' soundtrack (or part of it, http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=9005528 Jeremy Parish's 1up piece refers to her being "one of the composers on the original Castlevania"). There is nothing stopping Kinuyo being referred to in the development section of ''Castlevania'' and in the KONAMI KuKeiHa CLUB article, based on the 1up piece and OSV interview. I'm not satisfied that the http://ready-up.net/features/video-games-live-tokyo-2009/ Ready Up piece goes beyond being a |self-published source written by Joe Bloggs, looking at the site's about page, which doesn't tell me much. The OSV interview certainly looks a lot more reliable in WP terms, but again I wouldn't hang a BLP on it, the 1up piece is about a concert not just this composer, useful as a source but not a piece that demonstrates much notability
