Re: Proposal for deletion

The stated reason for deletion is user's personal opinion.

User is perhaps unfamiliar with Japanese artists and/or the status of Japanese artist Wiki pages, as there are many Japanese artists with Wiki pages comparably and subjectively more "less-important" and unpopular outside of Japan.

Gentouki is an active artist signed to Victor, a major label. Popularity outside of Japan is irrelevant.

Examples of a few other Japanese artists with equal or lesser status. Many are unknown outside Japan, inactive, or have disbanded: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirinji_(band) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshiaki_Manabe https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishmans https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Husking_Bee https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Predators_(Japanese_band) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_Under_Ground https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sons_of_All_Pussys

I appreciate your effort and care for improving Wikipedia. Thank you for your consideration.
