  • It's been fansubbed, if that counts for anything. [1] --humblefool® 05:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep It's a verifiable Japanese TV series, what's non-notable about it? Ben W Bell talk 15:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. -- Qlllr 17:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep due to lack of any argument to delete; even if we accept lack of notability as a reason for deletion (which many do not), it's surely not too much to expect nominators to explain why they think a given subject is so non-notable that it should not be included! — Haeleth Talk 17:47, 8 November 2006 (UTC) Shimeru has provided the missing argument, so withdrawing my procedural vote. No vote, but would suggest searching Japanese news sites in case the series got media mentions that would establish notability. — Haeleth Talk 11:17, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Real television series, decent article stub. Would people please realize that just because an article is a stub does not mean it must be nuked? --tjstrf Now on editor review! 21:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete It's not a television series per se, it's a short series of webcasted episodes. Not certain whether the parent site, netvision.tv, is widely popular. This article is the only netvision series article to exist on Wikipedia. It's unsourced (except for netvision's site) and partially untranslated. It fails WP:WEB if no evidence to noteworthiness can be produced. I don't find anything in English, but there may be something in Japanese. Shimeru 21:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Keep Changing my vote; those sources are good enough for me. Shimeru 22:09, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: It seems a popular enough series in Japan. Japan Today ran a story on it, but unfortunately the page has expired so that's no good. It has been released on DVD and is readily available (don't know about sales yet). Had an article featured in RBB Today, a popular Japanese technology site. Has a short news article on the Japanese Sony Music animation news site (halfway down, 2nd December). Article on Rakufilm a moderately popular Japanese movie news site. Features in the lineup of the Toei Company, a sizable and popular Japanese movie and TV company. Ben W Bell talk 12:37, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep It provides real information about something one might actually have a question about. As a stub, I think a single reasonable source is not bad. Why get rid of it?

  • Keep, interesting TV series staring a relatively well known J-pop singer.
