Re: Matayoshi Jesus
Del this political candidate with 8 losing campaigns in 6-7 years, running as "The only God Mitsuo Matayoshi Jesus Christ". Dozen or so Google hits (in Japanese with scattered Latin-alphabet text). --Jerzy (t) 23:31, 2004 Aug 1 (UTC)

Seems like a pretty interesting and noteworthy character to me, but guess I don't know enough about Japanese politics to cast a vote. Jgm 02:26, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Keep. If we can have an excellent article about Emperor Norton, we can have an intelligible article about this dude. Smerdis of Tlön 03:04, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Eccentricity is not encyclopaedic notability. Emperor Norton has apparently left some cultural impression, where thousands of others like him haven't. -- WOT 04:26, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Keep. This is the Screaming Lord Sutch of Japan.--Ianb 09:48, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
The US sure has their share of similar "candidates." Don't forget Pat Paulsen, Lyndon LaRouche and Angelyne. Keep. - Lucky 6.9 17:00, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Keep. I agree with Lucky 6.9. However, there should be some scrutiny into whether he is well-known in Japan. --Sesel 03:46, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
