This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

This draft has been resubmitted and is currently awaiting re-review.

Submission declined on 30 September 2026 by Jishara (talk).

This draft is not written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove:

promotional language: see Words to watch;
personal commentary: opinions or direct addresses to the reader;
informal language.

Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject.

Declined by Jishara 4 days ago.

Comment: Non-neutral (especially the duplicity led to his demise part) and we need a few more sources to prove notability though I'm fairly certain he is notable. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 13:52, 30 September 2026 (UTC)

Following Nobuhide's death, Nobumitsu allied with his young nephew Oda Nobunaga.^[2]^[3] He provided critical military support during Nobunaga's early struggles for dominance in Owari, assisting in the capture of Kiyosu Castle in 1554 and fighting at the Battle of Muraki Fortress that same year.^[2]
