  • Strong Delete per precedent. Let's stop this before the sockpuppets invade. Danny Lilithborne 23:47, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete NN fansub group that only fansubs one series. The article also appears to be an advert. I'm not sure what Wikipedia's policies are for articles about groups that engage in copyvio. --TheFarix (Talk) 00:36, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per unmet notability criteria in WP:ORG. Incidentally, they appear to brazenly engage in illegal activities (illegal even according to the loose standards adopted by the the "fansubbing" community). This is not a speedy criterion, but I would recommend SNOWballing this one, and salting. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 00:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Now I'm curious. What illegal activities? Danny Lilithborne 00:45, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment: continuing to publish "fansubs" after the show in question has been licensed by a company for distribution in America, etc. Technically speaking all fansub videos involve copyright infringement, but until there is a licensed distributor in the relevant countries it is not worth prosecuting, so fansub groups thrive. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 00:52, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
