[edit] B-Wanted

B-Wanted (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Previously nominated, closed as a no-consensus. This is a "stub" article about a manga series that was never translated and released in the English speaking world. There is no information on the series other than a list of characters, and ISBN numbers of the Japanese publications. A Google search turns up nothing on this series except what is already found in this article, ISBN numbers. In short, no content, no assertion of notability, very little chance that this article could be improved or expanded unless someone has translated the series into English. Not to mention that there is nothing about this series on the Japanese Wikipedia, making me question notability in general. No author's article to merge the little that is in this article with, either. Rackabello 20:45, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep There were six volumes published by a major publisher, and it was serialized in a major manga publication. So far as I'm concerned that's enough to make it noteable. Being a stub is not a crime, and the fact that none of us voting here have not read this doesn't mean that NOBODY has and cannot further expand at a later date. There are English-language fan pages, but I guess maybe none of those folks have made it here... YET. Snarfies 14:32, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment The issue here is a complete lack of informative content, almost nothing on the web (without an understanding of Japanese) to go by, and no assertion of notability. If this is truly notable, and it can be expanded to show that, then I will withdraw the AfD. However, as it stands, this page is not even a stub; its a rephrasing of the title, a list of characters, and a list of the publication's ISBN numbers. In order for this to become a stub, some basic verifiable information above what is already there needs to be added. As far as I can tell, that doesn't exist in English at this time. Besides, this manga has never been released in English, is it so noteworthy and made such a worldwide impact that we need an article on an untranslated Japanese manga on the English Wikipedia Rackabello 16:16, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
