Will review. Wugapodes (talk) 01:09, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. Currently working on the references (fixing redirects, and more importantly, adding archive links for dead links wherever possible). Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:26, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Comments

If the comment is numbered, it must be addressed for the article to pass, if it is bulleted, it's an optional suggestion or comment that you don't need to act on right now.
When I quote things, you can use ctrl+f to search the page for the specific line I quoted.

1. Do any sources happen to mention what year she was born?

2. "Kawada announced her retirement from singing in May" You should include the year. Also, reword as I thought she announced that she retired in May, not that she will retire in May.

• You should probably clean up the external links section as one of the templates you're using is being deleted.

@Wugapodes: Unfortunately, she keeps her age a secret. While various sources list her year of birth as either 1980 or 1978, neither have ever been confirmed by her, so adding a year of birth at this point would be a massive BLP violation (although outside of Wikipedia, I do use 1980 in casual speech). The original edit did include her year of retirement, but someone else removed the year. Will address the issues in a bit. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 02:06, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

How is it a BLP violation? Since the information is WP:Verifiable, aren't we allowed to include it? (genuinely asking, I don't often write BLPs so I don't actually know) Wugapodes (talk) 02:09, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

@Wugapodes: None of the said sources (i.e. MyAnimeList) are reliable, as these tend to be user editable. The BLP policy states that contentious content (i.e. those likely to be challenged: in this case, a year of birth) must be cited to a reliable source, and no reliable sources have confirmed her age. This issue has been repeatedly raised in the article's peer reviews, but until the time comes that she reveals her age, as much as I would want to, I can't include it in the article.

That's a really good reason! You may want to add that as a footnote (if there's a source that says it) just so people know, but I'm not going to require that. Wugapodes (talk) 02:21, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

On hold for 7 days pending revisions. Very well done article! Just address those two comments and it's good to go!
