[edit] How to Draw Manga

Was tagged for {{prod}} but disputed. I believe that the article reads like an advert for the book series and that they are otherwise non-notable. Stifle 15:13, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, not promotional. "They are originally printed in Japanese but are then translated into English. Both versions are published by Graphic-sha." Graphic-sha is not a vanity press. Kappa 15:15, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• I don't personally agree that every book ever published is a good topic for an encyclopedia article, but there's no way this will get deleted. Keep as a legit book. If it's the wording of the article you don't like, that's a matter for editing, not deletion. Friday (talk) 15:17, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I don't think we are planning to split it into an article for each book, at least not for the moment, but see WP:BEANS. Kappa 15:20, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable book series, but I don't think it needs to be split into seperate articles anytime soon.--み使い Mitsukai 15:27, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep legitimate book series about notable things on a non-vanity press. Not entirely sure why this should be at AfD. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 15:29, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep There are over 40 books in this series in both Japanese and English. I think it is very notable. The page does need editing though, but hopefully its creation will get the ball rolling. Gerard Foley 15:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, as notable book. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 15:38, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, I see no reason to delete this. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 15:41, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• I'm withdrawing, seven keeps in half an hour convinces me. Stifle 15:42, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
