[edit] Mortifer

A manga which is "rather new and published independly". Ie. as yet non-notable. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 17:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Great Idea! Let us delete all dōjinshi! Love Hina, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Black Cat, Final Fantasy... I bet you did get the gist of my argument. As to "yet non-notable" Countless Reader Reviews both rather crushing or enthusiastic have been given on this topic.GoD Master (talk) 19:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

If you could point others to these reviews, it would help your argument. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:20, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Thats true... but I was not finished yet(see the underconstruction) it may take a while. I was just a little off the agf with RHaworth. You know, how much time have I got for it(its easter after all... I had a Bad timing) GoD Master (talk) 20:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC) Why I just found this Quick Review By Butcher... Its not much, but I think all for today.(Its 11 O Clock in Bulgaria...) A mercenary firm of vampires, a mysterious man who always Smiles. A story about business and Death, and a rumor... a rumor about demons. A Dosh comic where you after 400 pages still haven't begun to touch the depths of the developing plot. Where you always find another surprise, and amidst the tragic of the characters forbidden love still flourishes.

  • Delete: I am unable find any reviews in reliable, nor even through Google unreliable, sources. Once you weed out the hits on the thrash metal band with the same name, all I can find are Lulu.com and ads -- and, frankly, I cannot find the supposed review quoted above. This appears to be a comic book that has not yet received any notice, and is so not notable per guidelines. —Quasirandom (talk) 21:26, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as far as I know, people with English names that are from Western countries can't make something that could be considered manga. This is just a fanwork without any real publisher. JuJube (talk) 03:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • No, not fanwork -- it is, apparently, an original work that happens to be self-published, something with an honorable history in comics both in the West and Japan. However, only a few self-pub'd works become notable enough to pass WP:BK, and this one isn't doing so, yet. As for the "manga" question, there's publishers with lines of so-called "Original English Manga." —Quasirandom (talk) 21:21, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
