Despite knowing the serious gender inequality in Japan, and that sports journalism overwhelmingly favors men's football over women's football, the male editors decided that they would erase senior professional sportswomen history from Wikipedia, making discovery more difficult, and further reinforcing systematic sexism caused by hegemonic masculinity. Make no mistake, the sportswoman is erased not because of WP:Interview or WP:Notability, but because the editors deliberately chose to nominate the article for deletion and then refuse to see the issue at hand. I will cite a famous bad example in the treatment of women football players in Japan. The men's international team can fly in business class while the women's international team, despite having better results, have to fly in economy class.[1] It was only after public uproar that the women's team were upgraded to business class.
In the page Women's professional sports, it was stated clearly that it is much more difficult to watch women's professional sports than men's sports. For e.g., and I quote, "It may seem like there were advancements made in the coverage of women's hockey, but in 2019, it became apparent it was not that easy to watch women's hockey on your television."
Juri Kawano (After serious argument, I am glad that at least some people here can see the issue of deleting sportswomen pages without any effort to make them better.)
Fumina Shibayama (Another women football player whose history was deleted by men)
Fukina Mizuno (Safe for now, but probably not in the future since a group of editors are determined to erase sportswomen from history)
Mei Shimada (Another article that was nominated for deletion despite being a gold medal winner! Zero due diligence!)
