Radio programme with no evidence of notability. Refs are social media or very light-weight. Fails WP:GNG Velella ^{Velella Talk} 13:04, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not only does it not meet WP:GNG due to a lack of significant coverage in reliable independent sources, but it also violates naming conventions by having the ♥ character in the article title. Even if the article were kept it would have to be renamed to not have the heart character in the title. It also reads like an advertisement. That being said, it sounds like a very fun radio show that I would like listening to, as I am into Japanese culture, but I won't let my personal bias in favor of this sort of thing cloud my judgment.

Delete per above. I see no evidence of meeting WP:GNG. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:28, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep based on my comments below. Someone else will need to add the source articles as references in the article. I don't have time to do so right now. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 05:34, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Brad v 03:59, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Save I requested to remove heart character in the title of this article and added reliable independent source. Obvious lack of information will improve by degrees. Bessiah 07:05, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Search finds no indication that subject meets WP:GNG. Recently added sources include a press release and Twitter posts, and do not amount to significant coverage in WP:RS. The show verifiably exists but does not meet Wikipedia guidelines for notability. Bakazaka (talk) 17:01, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Save This article was written by me based on Japanese article about this. Is it enough to encourage this article? Bessiah 16:47, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

comment User:Nihonjoe do you want to take a look at the Japanese wiki link Bessiah has given ? if there is indeed a strong japanese source that can confer notability here. --DBigXrayᗙ 20:12, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Of the sources in the Japanese article, this one and this one could be considered "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", therefore meeting WP:GNG. However, I don't have time to translate them and add them to the references. None of the other articles or works cited can be used to establish notability. You only need two, though. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 05:34, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Nihonjoe: Sure looks like the tfm-plus source is Tokyo FM+, which would not be independent since it's the parent broadcaster, but maybe I'm missing something. Bakazaka (talk) 08:43, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No notability, violates title conventions and it is a generally shoddy article. BRFC4104 (talk) 19:18, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: @BRFC4104: Violating title conventions and shoddy writing are not valid reasons to delete an article. Notability is now addressed above. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 05:36, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
