Isshiki Yoshikiyo

See list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan/Historical people. A review of Nihon jinmei daijiten here is unhelpful. A quick search of Google books shows no support. The stub article does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject. Ansei (talk) 14:28, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2013 May 28. Snotbot t • c » 14:39, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It should be noted that Ansei's link to Nihon jinmei daijiten is for Isshiki Yoshisada, not for Isshiki Yoshikiyo, whose deletion is under review here. Isshiki Yoshikiyo does not have an entry in Nihon jinmei daijiten and the Japanese Wikipedia entry for Isshiki Yoshikiyo (一色義清) lists two historical figures with this name, neither one of which has any references. In other words, there are no immediately available secondary sources that establish Isshiki Yoshikiyo as being a significant historical figure. Bueller 007 (talk) 09:48, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Concur with Bueller 007 entirely. Jun Kayama 13:59, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - At the library, I was able to find an entry on him (and this one, not the other one) in a reputable "Sengoku jidai" dictionary. As I have argued in other AfD's, I think entries in such dictionaries/encyclopedias can prove notability because the editors themselves had to pick and chose who was notable and verifiable. But I do think entries in multiple dictionaries are necessary to satisfy WP:GNG. I was not able to find other entries in other reference books, so I don't think he satisfies notability criteria.
