Fails PORNBIO and the GNG. No awards or nominations. No nontrivial pertinent GNews or GBooks hits. Negligible independent reliable sourcing -- aside from a single review which apparently comments mostly on whether the actress should be described as "pudgy", the sources which actually mention the article subject are databases and vendor sites. Survived 2007 AFD based on long-deprecated version of PORNBIO, under criteria that today don't establish notability The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006. (talk) 17:13, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The Japanese wiki page says that she was the first major Japanese BBW pornographic actress and is responsible for the genre's success in the country. If true, that would suggest potential notability and contemporary media coverage. Practically speaking, however, the relative scarcity of easily accessible Japanese media archives in general and the fact that she became popular before the popularization of the Internet in Japan means that such coverage would likely be quite difficult to find. --Cckerberos (talk) 19:22, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The ja-wiki page is also entirely unreferenced, and we have no idea whether the claim is promotion, fancruft, kayfabe, or legit. The actress's name isn't even mentioned in the book that's been touted in other discussions as a definitive text on the subject.[1] The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo).

That appears to be a book on the history of Japanese pink cinema (softcore pornography). Morikawa was a hardcore actress who only appeared in a single pink film, so it's not surprising she wouldn't be mentioned. --Cckerberos (talk) 07:42, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
