Working, successful musician, but doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO / WP:GNG. Notability is not inherited. Boleyn (talk) 08:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I agree with the nominator on how Kajiyama is a working musician who has hopefully made a living as a sideman, but he simply does not have the in-depth coverage in his own right that is needed for an article here. The albums by his own bands received little notice, while his appearances on other people's albums were typically just guest spots on a few songs. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:51, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I don't find mention of him on any Japanese sources, or on any sources identified as RS in Project Albums [1]. I don't think we're at notability. Oaktree b (talk) 19:01, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Notable heavy metal Jp guitarist. Co-leader of Goldbrick [ja] and has at least 2 albums under his name (Into the Deep with Shimonoya (a Victor record) and Fire without Flame (with Turner; an AOR record). Keep. Added 2 sources (one is not great and is a blog; but I added it because it's in English). For more sources, please see this listing on his official site. Worst case scenario in my view: keep and rename (move) Goldbrick (band) (with a wl to the Jp page I mentioned) and reduce to a paragraph about him/solo career.-My, oh my!

Delete Would have loved seeing this article remain but per BEFORE doesn't seem to get any information about his except this one, which is far from being an RS. Major case of SIGCOV! All the Best! Otuọcha (talk) 14:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
