Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hiroko Yamashita (actress)
The name is rather common--as are the kanji 山下裕子--but this is a fairly prominent actress who has worked mostly on television and the stage. She is in the Talent Databank (http://kotobank.jp/word/%E5%B1%B1%E4%B8%8B%E8%A3%95%E5%AD%90) and the TV Star Web Directory (http://tvstars.jp/profile.php?id=2000010090), and has appeared in some 58 TV dramas according to the TV Drama Database (http://www.tvdrama-db.com/simple_result.htm?key=%E5%B1%B1%E4%B8%8B%E8%A3%95%E5%AD%90&x=34&y=10), including the popular ''Onsen e iko'' franchise http://www.tvdrama-db.com/drama_info/p/id-36928. On stage, she was a member of Shoji Kokami's troupe, Daisan Butai, but also appeared frequently in plays directed by Yukio Ninagawa, Hideki Noda (playwright), and Makoto Sato (http://www.nodamap.com/site/cast/85). Searching the national newspaper, Asahi Shimbun (using a subscription only database), produces a number of hits, but mostly just from reviews of her plays or shows. The only article exclusively on her I could find in that paper was from October 18, 2003, on p. 34. So while I could not find a lot of articles just on her, there's good evidence she has a solid career in both stage and television, and thus passes criterion 1 in
