Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yoko Hirose
Relatively junior academic, associate professor. No indication that the award received is notable. The links given by Brandmeister show that she has been a speaker at a symposium, is a member of "Digital Asia Regional Reserch (sic) Center", and has presented a seminar at the Slavic Research Center of Hokkaido University. The references in the article show that she has published. All of these activities are normal for any academic, nothing shows that she's above the average. Perhaps she will become notable in a few years, but WP is not a |crystal ball
