Draft:Hiroshi Abe (politician)

  • Comment: This article says he is the father of Shintaro Abe, but that article says Shintaro's father is Kan Abe. It does look like someone named Hiroshi Abe did exist and was Governor of Tokyo, but I think Africa's Quest for Modernity made a mistake in conflating him with Kan Abe. I'm not sure that Governor of Tokyo is enough for WP:NPOL and the three cited sources are just passing mentions. I'd suggest looking for more robust, detailed and trustworthy coverage before resubmitting. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 20:37, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
