Comment - As context, does it make sense to compare Amakasu Kagetsugu and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amakasu clan? --Enkyo2 12:58, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Comment - Date Sanemoto (伊達実元) wasn't fictional. His father's attempt to make him heir of the Uesugi by having Uesugi Sadazane adopt him led to the Tenbun War (天文の乱). He was also the father of Date Shigezane, who is notable. I don't know if that qualifies Sanemoto himself as notable, though. Cckerberos (talk) 14:28, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
