Could possibly merge/redirect to Up Up Girls Kakko Kari but it could unbalance that article. Doesn't appear to meet WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG as an individual. Boleyn (talk) 12:48, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would make more sense if all members of the group (current and former) had at least a small bio section, if it were to be merged. Then maybe it would be slightly unbalanced but not so terribly much. It wouldn't be that hard to at least include their basic info and other accomplishments, because a lot of them have appeared in various media before, which could fill out a general "members" section.

Just my two cents as a fan of Akari and the group, but not really an active editor.

Keep Enough coverage to establish notability within the article. Clearly a notable person, for example, could quickly find two pieces of coverage about her recently getting a black belt in karate [1] [2] [3]. Scant evidence of a WP:BEFORE search including Japanese sources not just English. DCsansei (talk) 21:34, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
