Long enough, new enough, never been on front page, neutral. Sufficiently cited (mostly in Japanese, but I'm AGF that they're acceptable). This is a WP:BLP, but I don't see any BLP-related problems. Earwig doesn't find any copyvio issues. The only problem I see is that the hook is not interesting. May I suggest some variation on:
@RoySmith: Actually "Bambi" is the name of her avatar, and is not the Bambi that you're probably thinking of. Would the below suggestion work? It would require a slight rewording of the article however (since the article currently does not mention "official artwork" and "single covers"):
ALT3 ... that anime musician Kano's Virtual YouTuber 3D model is based on an avatar she uses in official artwork and single covers?
My taste in hooks is more towards the weird and twisted end of things, and that's still kind of, um, normal? But, it's not unreasonable, and certainly not worth holding up the tick over. -- RoySmith(talk) 00:43, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ALT3a ... that anime musician Kano's Virtual YouTuber 3D model is based on an avatar she uses in official artwork?
I like ALT3a better than ALT3. -- RoySmith(talk) 01:19, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
