I'm not convinced that she meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG, but it is obviously difficult when sources are mainly in Japanese. The previous AfD was mainly closed as 'keep' because it was nominated within two minutes of the article's creation and people felt it was WP:bitey. Boleyn (talk) 20:24, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I'm afraid. Even using "まどか まこ" in my search I fail to find enough coverage in reliable sources. Just a question though: does anyone know how her real name (Misuzu) is written in Japanese? Perhaps there could be more hits under that search term. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 14:00, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - there seems to be at least some mentions in Google Books. Translation may be helpful. Satellizer (´ ･ ω ･ `) 10:00, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At a glance the results appear to either be her works, or books that include her works. SephyTheThird (talk) 01:57, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I didn't find anything either. Do we even know if the only source used is considered reliable? Thats quite important being a Bio article. I thought it was rather telling she has no ja.wiki but thats not conclusive. At least one of her books is listed on Amazon japan, but that doesn't prove notability.

The source given in the article appears to either be affiliated or promotional in tone. Either way, not enough to establish notability. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 03:05, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Fails WP:N seeing that the entire article is only supported by one source it could be seen as promotional as well. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:01, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
