Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Akiko Hatsu
Certainly not notable academically and does not pass any of the criteria of . May be notable as an artist under  but at the moment the case is not particularly convincing. The article says that "she coined the term yaoi with Yasuko Sakata". If that is correct, it may be sufficient for passing  under "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique." However, I am confused by the references given in the article to support this point. This referencehttp://www.csuchico.edu/~mtoku/vc/Articles/toku/Wil_Toku_BoysLove.html (currently ref no. 3) says:''"The term yaoi was coined in the late seventies by Kanazawa region dojinshi artists included Yasuko Sakata and Rinko Hatsu."'' Here is another ref (not currently listed)http://www.csuchico.edu/~mtoku/vc/interviews_full/Interview%20wi_%20Sagawa.html:''"The origin of term of Yaoi was from the manifesto of Kanazawa region-based group (e.g. Rinko Hatsu and Yasuko Sakata) that they ironically called the content of their dojinshi were “Yamanashi, Ochinashi, and Iminashi."'' Are Rinko Hatsu and Akiko Hatsu the same person or two different people
