The result was Keep. This has had three weeks and while the arguments for keeping are not strong, there have been no opinions expressed in favour of deletion other than the nominator's. Michig (talk) 07:48, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Obviously the English is pretty poor, which doesn't help. But the Japanese version of the page has a lot more sources. I can't judge the quality of those sources, but noting their existence and hoping they are useful. Looking at [1] (which isn't a reliable source), this is large enough I'd expect reasonable sources. Similar things in the US that hit 1000 people generally will have the needed coverage to meet the GNG. At 5000 this probably does. We need someone who is good at finding Japanese sources.

• Soft Keep Seconding Hobit - the condition for wp:N isn't that Wikipedia has the sources, it's that they must exist. Something with 5000 guests and that's been running for a dozen years is almost certainly notable - it's just that all the sources are in Japanese. Therefore I can't find them or read them.

• Keep: I have reworked the lead of the article, and will continue fixing the rest. The Japanese page is light on reliable sources, but there I found some by doing a quick search (and used one of them in the lead). I am confident there is enough to establish notability.
