592:--instead, a few have only given mistaken or unreliable evidence. So we must look at the article. It has a seemingly amazing 37 sources at this time, but almost all are irrelevant for judging notability. 10 are from IMDb, which is not a reliable source on Knowledge. 10 are distributor sites that merely list one or more of his films: they are neither independent sources nor offer significant coverage. 6 are just listings of films shown at minor or non-notable film festivals, and thus which also don't provide significant coverage. 5 are to Japanese websites, but only link to the top page of the site, not the specific article, with no indication of whether Kasai is actually treated on that site or not (again, I have tried multiple searches and found nothing on him in Japanese). Most of the rest are dead links, links to lists, or to personal MySpace pages--nothing significant or independent. The ONLY sources among the 37 that are even close to being significant and independent RS are these two:
598:. Others can judge these, but to me they look like fan blogs which are in general not RS on Knowledge (the fact the second says "my friend Kasai" also implies it is not independent). Other web searches find nothing. I can find no evidence that any of his films have received a single review from a reputable publication and none are available on DVD from regular commercial sources (they only seem to be available on bittorrent or through other dubious means). None of his films, then, would pass GNG. I might also note that people at IMDb have also noticed that his high ratings (none of which include a written review, only number ratings) on that database stink: note discussions
349:- I would like to hear which of these sources Promper29 thinks are RS. From what I see, most are IMDb links (which is not an RS on Knowledge), film distributor listings (not independent), or minor festival listings (neither independent nor significant). There are a few interviews on blog-like horror film fan sites which are of dubious status. Other citations that look like they may be RS (like to TimeOut Tokyo or Cinema Today) are all dead. The problem is, since I cannot find the Japanese for Kasai's name (and I've tried a bunch of searches), I cannot find any coverage whatsoever on him or his films in Japan. If any one can provide the kanji, that might help.
669:. Im the person who nominated the article for deletion, I have a fairly extensive knowledge of modern film and Im yet to find a single film of his online in any form whatsoever. He has no coverage from any reliable sources, and isnt that what wikipedia is supposed to be all about. This is some kind of hoax and I just wish to save other film enthusiasts the bother of trying to track down films that dont exist.(also someone mentioned something about my ip showing Im a vandal, Ive no idea but Im just using whats provided to me by telecom nz, which is the largest telecommunications company in the country, its not an attempt to decieve)

I nominate this page for deletion. The person isnt noteworthy, the article is terribly written by the guy himself, he has listed all his films on IMDB and used bots to rate them, none have any reviews,plot outlines or anything to independantly verify they even exist. The links shown on this article

Michitaro's reasoning. Please also note that the three Keep !voters are SPAs with extremely similar editing styles (including both writing style and phrasing, and self-awarding of multiple barnstars and copying of content from other editors' user pages/talk pages).
