I beleive this shold be tagged for notability, since it is not clear why on earth someone who was a minor celebrity in Japan many years ago should have article on them. If notable, then prove it in the article. JoshuSasori (talk) 23:45, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Notability was already proven in the AfD. What ever you personally think about her celebrity, the consensus determined the coverage on her is sufficient to satisfy WP:NACTOR. If you want to start a new AfD, you can, but it will likely fail. I did a lot of research on her and she has more than enough coverage to satisfy notability. Having multiple articles on her in the major national newspapers is more than enough. Adding a notability tag to something already determined to pass notability is I think rather pointless.

The article as it stands doesn't show how she is notable. It mentions a few things which are extremely minor and dated. Thus the tag. If you have proof she is notable, you shold put in the article, not argue about it here. JoshuSasori (talk) 02:39, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The article shows how she is notable and it was my rewrite that was considered satisfactory at the AfD. I not only provided multiple articles on her in major publications (itself a condition of WP:GNG), but noted her prominent roles in major television shows, including a 10 year stint on 11PM, a landmark news show (another condition of WP:NACTOR). You are free to add to it if you want, but the article has by consensus been deemed sufficient as is. Michitaro (talk) 03:41, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's extremely surprising to me that you think that "Arguably her most memorable work on television was as a weekly regular for over ten years on the late night news show 11PM, [1][4][5] which itself lasted for over twenty years." is a sufficient to establish notability. The sentence does not even mention what her role was in this weekly late night news show, or why it was memorable. I don't see articles on other people who appear as weekly guests on Japanese nightly news shows. There was a consensus not to delete the article because it was possible to establish notability, not because the article clearly does that. JoshuSasori (talk) 04:53, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please read the AfD as well as the notability guidelines. The closing admin noted the article has been cleaned up and those voting after I cleaned it up declared that notability had been established in the article. WP:GNG does not demand that you show why a person or topic is memorable--that is often subjective--but rather that there is "significant coverage" in "reliable" and "independent" sources. That itself is notability, not the subjective standard of "memorable." And that has already been established. WP:NACTOR does have a criterion about "significant" roles, so if you did not find the term "regular" sufficient (even though it is a standard term for a co-star in Japanese TV), I have adjusted the language.
