Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Takuya Iwata
Note that there was a mistake in his name kanji which I have corrected. I also linked the article to the Japanese and Catalan articles. At least for Japanese coverage, I could find articles such as: http://sportsnavi.yahoo.co.jp/sports/soccer/clubwcup/2012/columndtl/201212040010-spnavi, http://www.soccer-king.jp/news/world/cwc/20141218/260043.html, http://start.gifu.jp/column/startline3_1/, http://www.mensclub.jp/lifestyle/sports/iwata14_1227/, http://www.excite.co.jp/News/soccer/20150103/Soccerking_266022.html, http://ja.ifaf.asia/column/836, http://qoly.jp/2014/12/02/auckland-city-club-worldcup-2014-member, http://www.footballchannel.jp/2015/01/05/post63830/, http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/9564579/, http://www.nikkansports.com/soccer/world/news/f-sc-tp3-20141218-1410541.html, http://www.nikkansports.com/soccer/world/news/p-sc-tp3-20141212-1407908.html, etc. Also note that he has been the subject of multiple national TV reports: http://tvtopic.goo.ne.jp/cast/cid/80401/0/0/1.html. With a smattering of English coverage, such as http://www.cairnspost.com.au/sport/local-sport/ex-edge-hill-player-stars-with-auckland-city-at-club-world-cup/story-fnjpuwsz-1227157788983, I think this just passes  even if it does not pass
