The article which hurt his honor. For the same reason, deletion request nominated and deleted on ja.wikipedia. (Sorry, I cannot write English well.) -- Lusheeta 11:14, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete, Japanese peeping-toms aren't necessarily notable--nixie 14:17, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep Voyeuristic Professor. Much more notable than most economics professors. Klonimus 03:34, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Weak keep, as it seems he was known as an economist before this "incident". The article should probably focus more on his professional and academic accomplishments, though. / Uppland 20:08, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Based on the evidence available in the article, his academic career was not independently notable either. I see no evidence that he passes the recommended "average professor" test. Delete unless further evidence is presented. Rossami (talk) 22:53, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete, not notable. Megan1967 04:41, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep, since he was a professor and a TV commentator and I'd vote keep in any other circumstances. Agree with Uppland about focus, the peeping thing could be one line. Kappa 05:45, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comment/question: one of the linked articles calls him "a well-known economist who was a regularly featured guest on television programs". Is this just a tabloidy exaggeration? He was also a professor at what appears to be a very prestigious university (with the obvious reservations that I know nothing about Japanese universities, and on Wikipedia all universities are prestigious). That the article contains less flattering information is not a reason to delete if he is reasonably notable for other reasons. Uppland 05:58, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Waseda is definitely an "Ivy League" equivalent. Kappa 19:05, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Transwiki, belongs in Wikinews. Radiant_* 07:42, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
- Wikinews is public domain and Wikipedia is GFDL, therefore it is not possible to legally transwiki from here to there. In any case, this news is almost a month old. ☺ Uncle G 23:52, 2005 Apr 21 (UTC)
Keep. When it is translated into English it will be a nice article that sheds light on Japanese culture. --Zero 15:21, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
