Comment: Good work so far on this article. However, unfortunately, in order to prove notability, an article needs to references 2-3 sources which are reliable, independent, secondary sources, which talk about the subject of the Wikipedia article at length. Unfortunately, twitter and other social media do not count (and should be removed from the reference list). Product listings and basic announcements likewise do not count. Your best chance is to find review or profile articles written about Takayama himself. Good luck 👍 Absurdum4242 (talk) 14:26, 12 August 2026 (UTC)
