[edit]- ... that Hideto Asamura tied the record for being the youngest person in Japanese baseball to score 100 RBIs in a season?

2x expanded and sourced (BLP) by Athomeinkobe (talk). Self-nominated at 01:51, 10 November 2015 (UTC).
Expansion checks out (not just 2x, but 5x). Length and date check out. The hook is hooky and appropriately cited. QPQ done. Assuming good faith on the sources, which are in Japanese (I ran a couple of them, including the hook ref, through online translators and they did seem to support the article). Within policy; AGF on no copyvios, a Japanese speaker could confirm this. The only minor issue I could find is that much of the next-to-last paragraph is unsourced; this is particularly strange since that's the only paragraph with a quote, and there's no indication where that quote actually comes from. An extra reference or two at the end of that paragraph wouldn't hurt; but the article does meet the general DYK minimum level of one citation per paragraph.

- Thank you for your review Sideways713. I have increased the referencing for the paragraph you mentioned. The quote comes from a video posted on his team's official youtube channel. The video is produced as if it was used on a TV show, but there is the possibility it was only used online. It is the first time I have cited from youtube, so could you please confirm it is ok. Thanks, AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 02:45, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
- Nice work, no complaints left. I'm not really a fan of citing YouTube as your source, but I think it will do; in any case, it's clearly better than not citing YouTube as your source. Sideways713 (talk) 18:15, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the double check Sideways713. You're right about YouTube. You've prompted me to try harder and I've found a site that has published a transcript of the interview. I'm not sure whether it is an official site operated by the club though. That would be better, wouldn't it? I'll amend the citation. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 23:13, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
