• Keep This is Japan’s main online encyclopedia, used extensively as a source for many Wikipedia articles. It’s the equivalent of the Treccani encyclopedias in Italy. I must admit I have failed to find RIS in English but there’s no doubt that there will be RIS in Japanese, which unfortunately I can’t read. Mccapra (talk) 13:38, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Mccapra is completely right on this. I was shocked seeing that there was no article when something like half of all Japan related articles cite it, there's even a template on Japanese Wikipedia just for Kotobank citations MaitreyaVaruna (talk) 19:54, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep because it is very notable.Fulmard (talk) 02:56, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
