Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eriko Satō (footballer)
This is kind of sad. She was a footballer who was captain of an established woman's team (Kumamoto Renaissance FC) before women's football took off in Japan. She died in the 3.11 disaster at the young age of 31. There is no doubt she existed and played for the team (http://rfc-forza.jugem.jp/?eid=483 here is the team announcement of her death). What I can't find is any record that she played for the national team. The Japanese wikipedia article does not mention it (:ja:佐藤恵利子), nor does the team announcement. The reference in the English article to her being on the national team in 2008 refers to the wrong Eriko Sato (佐藤衣里子 not 佐藤恵利子--see http://www.plus-blog.sportsnavi.com/nadeshiko/article/23 and http://www.orcakamogawafc.com/player/player_000071.html). All else on the net is just from blogs. While I feel sorry about this, I am afraid she does not pass
