- According to unverified rumours, this article should be deleted. David Johnson 15:45, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Encyclopedias should not allow unverified information, so the current form of the article, which reports an 'unverified rumour' with no further expansion, is not a useful or valid article. Anyone wishing to keep it should expand it with verifiable information, otherwise it should be deleted. Average Earthman 16:25, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: Notability of the figure within the sport is questionable, and without verification, we have no business reporting it. This is a matter of whether it's appropriate in an encyclopedia. We do not advocate, endorse, nor create legitimacy. We can only report the things that are verifiably true. Geogre 19:46, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

- Comment: The reference external link (dooble.de) someone inserted into the article leads to a page that is an old duplicate of our page ninjutsu. The dooble.de page lists Wikipedia as its source of information. Here are some ideas where to look for information: 1) Do a Google search within Japanese language pages only. 2) The suffix no-Mikoto hints that this could be a not well-known kami of shinto pantheon. Conduct a search using dead-tree encyclopedias of Japanese religion, preferable Japanese-language ones (probably more complete than Western ones, can anyone throw some references here?). I would appreciate if someone who is fluent in Japanese would do at least cursory checks, I can't find anything from the materials I have access to. Even if a minor kami of this name could be found, I really doubt there exists any historically reliable material that supports the dubious reference to ninjutsu, but maybe an encyclopedia article of the kami could be written instead. jni 06:21, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
