The article has no reliable sources, and could not find any through a Google search, so I believe it fails WP:GNG. Inks.LWC (talk) 18:00, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Again, this article should not be deleted because a Google search couldn't find any resources. As noted in the article, the service is widely used in Japan. Most if not all references to FC2's userbase are in Japanese, not English, which is why a Google search may not be the best answer. At any rate, FC2 Video is a major component of FC2.com which is ranked #36 in the world and #3 in Japan by Alexa. In a nation of over 100 million people, this is a major web service. Some mathematical information in English can be found here. http://www.markosweb.com/www/video.fc2.com/ MattHisaAsuka (talk) 10:07, 05 SOctober 2011 (UTC)
- Delete as failing WP:GNG. I'm open to changing my mind if references (in en or jp) are added, but I've looked for them myself and can't find anything solid, partly because the name is used in so many content pages. Feel free to ping me on my user page if RS are added. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:55, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
