While the article has existed since 2006, it doesn't seem to at any point have demonstrated standalone notability. A WP:BEFORE - including full magazine search - has unearthed some trivial mentions saying it was well regarded and the first feature-length Machinima movie (although it's apparently just a bunch of individual sketches), but no significant coverage. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:40, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

• Delete. The first two references by Dream Focus above are useless as for establishing list notability. The third is better, but it's restricted to Europe. You'd either need a pared-down list for that, or more widespread coverage. It's also a bit moot at this point...essentially nothing in the article is sourced, and it's complete OR at the moment...you'd have to cut it down to basically nothing, leaving no article to keep. Moreover, trying to compile this information into a table is ultimately futile due to all the different nuances in the laws of every country. At best, you might be able to construct an article that actually goes into some detail for each country, but as a simple list, this fails on its face. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 20:28, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Jo7hs2, I checked. The SmartCompany is okay (editorial team exists) but still feels like promotional. Business News Australia has no editorial team, so we trust this source.

Zero in-depth sourcing to show notability. No indication it meets WP:GEOROAD, and it's not listed at Highways in Spain, so no way to ascertain the road's significance. Also, as per WP:MAPCITE, a single map should never be the sole source for providing route descriptions. The redirect was reverted, without providing sourcing to show it passes WP:GNG, so as per recent discussions at ANI, the only alternative is AfD. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 00:59, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Hiro Morita

Hiro Morita (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · NYT · TWL)

Hiro Morita is an English-language commentator and host on NHK responsible for programs related to professional sumo. From a Wikipedia standpoint, however, I do not believe the subject meets the threshold for notability. The amount of secondary sources on the subject are not sufficient; two of the sources in the article are written by a commentator (John Gunning) that frequently collaborates with the subject on NHK programming, and most other links point to the NHK website. Searches for additional news articles or websites about the subject lead to poor results. JRHorse (talk) 00:04, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

On the contrary, the notability is rather established. If John Gunning writes articles on Hiro Morita it is indeed because the two work together on the subject of sumo for NHK (and this statement is a bit far-fetched given that Gunning only participates in NHK previews) but also and this is important because Gunning is one of the few English-speaking journalists and columnists who works on the world of sumo, at all.

The results you mention are also rare but the same can be mentioned for articles like Ajigawa stable (2022). I especially think that with the channel rooting and the collaboration between Morita and JSA, the article will be able to find more source. - OtharLuin (talk) 01:03, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

• Weak Keep in my own search I’m seeing fairly frequent media mentions in reliable sources, they’re just not particularly in-depth. The most in-depth seems to be https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2022/08/10/sumo/jsa-youtube-english-morita/. It’s clear he’s one of the few names in English language Sumo presenting, and I do see quite a few media mentions, so I’m leaning towards keep, but remain persuadable. Jo7hs2 (talk) 03:19, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
