Keep He did the artwork for a notable mini-series,
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Episode Zero. Those things are immensely popular(have a high number of viewers) aren't they? Anyone who had a significant contribution to a project are notable for it. Actors, voice actors, animators, writers, artistic designs, and sometimes musical composure.

The article you've linked there is unreferenced. Do you have a reliable source to back that up? =

If you are in any actual doubt of that fact, you have only to spend a few seconds Googling to confirm the information. I just did and found the information on
Anime News Network straight away.

Note: The correct name is actually Akira Kenbe. The article has been moved to reflect the correction --Farix (

Delete no reliable sources discussing the subject of a BLP generally means no encyclopedia article.

Delete The encyclopedia part of Anime News Network isn't RS any more. Furthermore the source used assert the person contribution won't be accepted as a reliable website. About the notability of the Kenbe Akira, he is not notable enough, two lines aren't enough regardless the sources issue. The Gundam participation is just for a one-shot so this person can't inherit the notability of Gundam. There isn't enough ammunition to write something good, verifiable and more detailed than what is already in the ANN database so delete is the best course of action --

Please could you check the Google results before making a such statement. Results are not conclusive at all concerning the notability of this author. Basic search on Google return a bunch of forums, fan-sites, non-legit download and other free to read websites and the Google book search returned 0 hits for "Kanbe Akira", artist key words. I got 6 results for "Kanbe Akira"
[1] most are on the chemistry and biology field books not manga. --

Keep. Much, much more information is required than is currently provided, however, the subject seems notable- I wacked it into the google toolbar and it came up with 30,600 results. I've yet to find more than one that qualifies as a
WP:RS but I'll keep looking. It's easier to send an article to AfD than it is to dredge through google in search of sources but if you look hard enough, something might come up.

[2],
[3],
[4]-whether they qualify for a
WP:RS is a whole different kettle of fish, but it goes to notability.
