• Keep The New York Times list this person is having a best selling manga on their charts. [http://www.nytimes.com/best-sellers-books/2011-01-02/manga/list.html] Manga-news is a reliable site, and it gives high marks to his works(click Google news archive search at top of AFD). And Anime News Network lists just how many times he has been on the bestseller's list. [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=64920&page=-5] Whether or not a notable manga creator decides to give interviews, doesn't determine their notability. Also, when you are published in one magazine, you aren't going to get interviews in others. You have to go by common sense on these sorts of things. Dream Focus 17:22, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
• Keep Perhaps I am misinterpreting it, but it seems WP:AUTHOR considers a person notable even if he or she has created only one famous work. I also think the fact the one work in this case has been adapted in multiple media (anime, game, CD) fits the third criteria of a work that has been the subject of secondary works.

• Keep - If anything this article needs to be rewritten in line with the JP Wikipedia page for the artist. [http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B1%A0%E7%94%B0%E6%99%83%E4%B9%85]. Non-review interview is here [http://jumpsq.shueisha.co.jp/contents/m_int_ikeda/index2.html]. He is not a talento so it is not reasonable to expect him to have numerous interviews in JP media. Grounds for inclusion in EN Wikipedia are covered above, with exception for last comment by Dream Focus. Having a series contract with Shueisha would not prevent the artist from holding interviews with JP or foreign periodicals. Jun Kayama 19:49, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
