Hmm, looks like Wikipedia is going to become the New Usenet, where people will scream blue murder if you don't write about them exactly how they want you to (if at all)...
Well, let's try to avoid being the New Usenet, whatever we do. :-)
I have (clumsily, I'm not a very experienced editor) renominated the page for deletion. My essential argument is that Ashida Kim is not prominent, there is no verifiable information about him (no newspaper articles, no nothing other than a bunch of message board flamewars and his own website).
I have noticed a trend in my personal correspondence recently. It seems that what Wikipedia is attracting these days is spillover flamewars from other parts of the net. Non-notable people who have rolling pissing matches all over the web end up trolling (perhaps by accident) us, in our goodnatured goodwill intention of getting it right in all cases, etc.
In many such cases, it is not clear to me why we even have an article about the person in the first place. Non-notable in the extreme, troublemaking in the extreme, these kinds of cases absorb rather a great deal of time for a lot of good people for no good purpose.
