[edit] Anime News Network

  • Weak keep: The article is weak content-wise, but I definitely wouldn't say it's non-notable. It's well known among Anime fans. Google hits for "Anime News Network": 1,670,000. Alexa traffic ranking: 2,918. --  Netsnipe  (Talk)  18:11, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep seems notable, I don't see where the nonotability you claim is from. 132.205.95.27 22:56, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep and cleanup, despite Google being inconclusive, this is a fairly notable site in the anime community. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 00:37, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Coredesat, fairly notable within the anime realm. Yamaguchi先生 18:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep very notable in the community. - Wickning1 19:12, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep ANN is often used as a news source among the anime fan community. Their anime and manga encyclopedia is also heavily cited or linked to by anime articles on Wikipedia. --TheFarix (Talk) 21:37, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, needs re-write That this article is notable because it meets WP:WEB because the site was 1) involved in an internationally publicized dispute with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police about a publication which defined all anime as "adult"-oriented entertainment. [1] 2) The editors of the site are affiliated with a notable print magazine on the same topic. The first fact should be included in the article. (First time I'm arguing to keep an article per WP:WEB.) Anime editors tend to like ANN and often cite it as a source for article. I do it myself. Baring that, this is still a notable website. --Kunzite 03:31, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, very notable site, but it does need improvement. -- Ned Scott 09:20, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge with Protoculture Addicts. And the facts mentioned by Kunzite should be mentioned (the article content should give clues as to why it's notable). --GunnarRene 11:18, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep per above. — Deckiller 17:03, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
