[edit] Kancho

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

Non-notable, has no reliable sources at all. Belongs on urban dictionary, not here. Juanita Hodges 22:32, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. cab 00:18, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Completely agree with nom. GlassCobra 00:39, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Has some notability, as evidenced by the links included. Decrying it as non-notable sounds like WP:IDONTKNOWIT to me. Lack of sources begs improvement, not deletion, IMO. --DrHacky 14:51, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep There are many sites out there that are not "fan" sites that describe this. It appears to be noteworthy and credible. --BlindEagletalk~contribs 16:41, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

  • comment looks like material from the external links could be brought inline to provide references. Artw 00:41, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as odd as it is, gonna echo BlindEagle's statement; it may be a cultural thing, but referenced enough. No real difference to the wedgie, which is also mentioned in the nominated article, but I'm not using the self-reference as a justification :P Yngvarr (t) (c) 01:44, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep agree that it is odd, but also that its no more so than wedgie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Allgoodnamesalreadytaken (talk • contribs) 02:29, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep agree with the other keeps. Acalamari 03:03, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete it might be "referenced" enough, but what I can see none of these references are close to WP:V or WP:RS, they are just blogs, (the teacher editorial doesn't seem reliable nither after a check) and the official Kancho fansite. I'm checking google for anything that meets the sourcing crteria, but can't find any (starts heading to youtube, trivial mentions, and more blogs, and pages irrelavent to the subject).

  • Weak Keep Needs some work though. Pursey Talk | Contribs 18:57, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - However, per WP:N. However it needs sources. --Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 23:36, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Again I checked google, no Reliable sources that I could find, without those sources WP:N is moot. Secret 21:27, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
