Should be a redirect to Tokyo subway sarin attack#Kenichi Hirose. Classic case of WP:BIO1E. But an editor is insistent on continuously recreating the article. So here we are. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:20, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

• Keep. The reasons are as following:
• The WP:BIO1E said that "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." Besides, if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. I believe this article meets such rules. Tokyo subway sarin attack is highly significant, Hirose also plays a very important role in this event. I understand WP:OCE is not a good idea. However, participants in 9/11 such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Mohamed Atta is even related with a featured article Jihad (song). To be honest, it's a little bit irony.
• Hirose was involved in a series of events, not only the Tokyo subway sarin attack, but also the secret assault rifles production by Aum Shinrikyo (ja:自動小銃密造事件) and production of other weapons in Aum Shinrikyo. Please see this and this

I understand that many editors can't read articles in Japanese or Chinese, but a lack in articles/documents in English doesn't mean this article doesn't meet the notability standard. --クオン·翡翠·鵺鳥·十姉妹·夜啼鳥 15:29, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

• Keep User:Kuon.Haku's point regarding language barrier is a reasonable one. While it will stop us from understanding or getting as much context as possible, we should strive to include as much information in English as possible. LikeMeercats (talk) 17:29, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

• Keep. Involved in a series of events in Aum Shinrikyo. Significant and continuing coverage even with English sources alone. Icewhiz (talk) 14:17, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
