[edit] Dattebayo fansubs

Dattebayo fansubs (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable fansubbing group. No reliable sources, so they fail the notability guideline WP:ORG. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 19:46, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - Fails WP:WEB and WP:ORG because it only describes the services of that organization/site, not its impact or significance. There are no independent sources which describe any achievements, impact on fansubbing, or historical significance, so therefore it is not suitable for a encyclopedia. Website or organization articles should not be written just to let readers know they exist. → Hot Dog Wolf 20:04, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. This article has some potential, even if it's merged to fansubbing, because DB is actually one of the largest and most well known fan sub sites out there at the moment. CaveatLectorTalk 22:23, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete per lack of sources attesting to its notability. I dont think potential is enough to keep it when it doesnt establish notability Corpx 02:07, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Anime and manga-related deletions.--Squilibob 07:03, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Fansubbing groups, no matter how big, not really notable. Doceirias 08:32, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - no verifiable, reliable sources to assert its notability. Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 08:40, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete While well-known to the fansubbing world (well, at least the ones that enjoy Naruto/Bleach fansubs in multiple languages), I agree largely with Sephiroth BCR.--十八 21:05, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete No independent reliable sources to establish notability. Even though they continue to fansub Bleach and Naruto even if they did claimed to have been arrested at Otakon 2007. --Farix (Talk) 21:31, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per all above. For the record, I was a fansubber from the pre-digital days and would vote the same on an article about the group I was with. Snarfies 21:11, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per all of the above. Bearian 23:00, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and salt it should not redirect to Naruto (as they seem to be big on Bleach fansubbing as well). Or delete and redirect to fansubbing 132.205.44.5 21:53, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete While they are big and known in the fansubbing specially as they do Naruto and Bleach both popular teenage animes. This makes the article questionable to be deleted or not. I haven't investigated but according to their website they was supposedly at Otakon. Maybe there are sources that could be used and if so that in my opinion would grant the article a keep status. However if it is going to be deleted than no redirect is needed as 'dattebayo' already redirects and 'dattebayo fansubs' isn't directly linked to Naruto other than in name.
