Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nisio Isin
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
