On second thought, it was rather hasty of me to send to the cut list. That's a oops on my part. I do agree that the page needs a rewrite to remove the fabricated ideas present.
The one thing that's stopping me personally however is where exactly to begin. On the Japanese end of things, according to ANN the list of shows he's worked on is massive
, with many credits of his key animation work present (although what's known of his work contradicts the description in the page).
The other main problem for me is there just isn't much to write about regarding Masuda: he's just the person who directs animation of various loose projects, while occasionally animating for some. Nothing that sticks out like Yuasa or Imaishi, for example.
I currently have a idea of erasing the Western-oriented examples while keeping some of them in (some of his Warner Bros/DC animation director credits), while keeping the rest of the Japanese anime examples. That way, the fabrications can be erased while keeping the things I know have actually happened.

Maybe the official websites of the works are more reliable? They should mention who took part in a given work.

ANN does have a list of sources. From a cursory glance, they're of Japanese sakuga (animation enthusiast) blogs and official websites. I'll try and comb through them some time today.

Re cut request: This needs more discussion - if the page is indeed largely fabricated, the fabrications should be removed.
