[edit] Photo

I have no idea how to get the rights to use the photo I just added. I'm also aware it'll get deleted if I don't figure it out. :P Do we email him? And if that works, how do we prove that we have his permission? --Masamage 18:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

You can always email him. His email address is right at the top of his site. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 19:45, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I'll do that, then. But how does everyone know I'm telling the truth about his response? :) --Masamage 20:06, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

PS: Email has been sent. --Masamage 20:16, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

If you got him to include a note on his site saying it was fine to use that pic for this article, that would likely work. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 23:45, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "I Liek Milk"

I just removed the following from the article:

In 2001, Hitoshi gained additional fame through the "I Liek Milk" parody site, itself a parody of the site of internet celebrity Mahir Çağrı, portraying Hitoshi as an English challenged otaku with a milk fetish.

I did so because I'm not convinced that this website is at all notable, and because it casts Hitoshi-san in a bad light for no real reason. See Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. If you read the above Talk page division, you might note that we just emailed Hitoshi and invited him to look at the article and give or deny permission to use his photo. This is an inappropriate time to be linking to irrelevant and insulting websites. --Masamage 23:05, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How is he notable?

Please provide some evidence that Hitoshi Doi is notable. I don't see how the article fufills notability requirements or how it can be anything more than a stub. And why is he mid-level importance to Japan-related article on wikipedia? --Kunzite 02:03, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not an expert on either Doi or the notability rules, and I understand google hits aren't the perfect measuring stick, but he gets 372,000. Many of those are people using him as a reference in their anime pages, using seiyuu photos he took, or providing a link to him along with statements like, "If you haven't heard of Hitoshi Doi then you need to crawl back into the bathroom and finish getting over your drunken stooper[sic][1]." Obviously that's one person's (rather agressive) opinion, but it's indicative of the kind of influence he has on the anime web community. I have no idea how to match that up with a specific WP:N rule, but he does seem notable to me. I think it's entirely likely that someone may find his name somewhere, out of context, and look here to figure out who he is. --Masamage 04:33, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
