Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because..the references are cited at the bottom of the page. You can crosscheck the reliability of this information by translating the entry about Yuka Kobayashi from the Japanese wikipedia (your reason here) --Chris2408 (talk) 11:16, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have just added the reference. Now the article should match all requirements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris2408 (talk • contribs) 11:32, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... This appears to be a machine translation of ja:小林優香 (the article on the Japanese language Wikipedia). Kobayashi appears to have a high world rank in women's Keirin but there is no mention of her on Union Cycliste Internationale website. --Shirt58 (talk) 11:40, 13 August 2014 (UTC).[reply]

The machine translation underwent a stylistical revision. All facts are documented by footnotes.

Wikifying

Trying to wikify this entry.

Done:

Added info box to move some of the biometric stuff
added sections to make it clearer
added a few wiki links

To Do:

need translation help with several of the references ForbiddenRocky (talk) 05:24, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
wikify references
add more relevant wiki links
research correct wiki way to do Japanese names
fix grammatical, syntax, colloquialism
is keirin a sport name (e.g. like football or criket) or league name (e.g. like NFL, NASCAR)? ForbiddenRocky (talk) 07:15, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Challenges:

many of the reference articles are in japanese. auto translations may not be enough.

General comment:

Not sure this person is notable enough for an entry.

@Bosstopher:, where should I check for this criteria? ForbiddenRocky (talk) 20:15, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(I blame Bosstopher for linking to June Wikification drive) ForbiddenRocky (talk) 20:12, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the linking, there is now no escape from article wikifying! Maybe this will finally motivate me to break into double digits in wikifying count this month though!

Notability criteria for Cyclists can be found at WP:NCYC. Given that she raced at the UCI world championships she seems to meet notability standards. MOS:JAPAN should be useful for japanese names (you picked a real nightmare of an article to deal with for someone not fluent in japanese though). Have fun!

@Bosstopher: Did I mention I blame you? This was assigned randomly. ForbiddenRocky (talk) 01:08, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is why I run away screaming as fast as possiblewhen the random article generator gives me something tough, and end up adding ledes to short articles about the Jordan League instead. (I really hope that doesnt count as cheating, I feel like I may have to try and deal with a tricky article to atone for my sins...)Bosstopher (talk) 11:10, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
