[edit] Progressive anime
This seems to just be a list of anime that some group of people like. Granted, it's an excellent list of innovative, high-quality titles, and it would be a shame to lose it entirely, but it's ultimately opinionated criticism, and thus violates all of the central Wikipedia content policies - it is original research, non-verifiable, and has a non-neutral point of view. The article exists to keep down the size of the main article anime, where it's presented as if it were a recognized genre akin to "science fiction" or "romance", which it clearly isn't. Usage of the term "progressive anime" is inconsistent and uncommon at best - the majority of Google matches are copies of this Wikipedia article - and certainly doesn't map to anything that Japanese or non-Japanese viewers would consider to be a genre. inkling 01:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
I am also nominating progressive animation for the same reasons. inkling 19:07, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. -- TheFarix (Talk) 02:20, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete they say right in the article it is just anime that is progressive - which says the same mailing list coined THAT term, so don't see how much a subset it could be. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib Reverts 02:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per RevRagnarok, since it seems to be the result of a neologism. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 04:55, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. What is the criteria of "progressive anime", and who is the judge? Voice of Treason 04:57, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Smacks of original research to me. --Daduzi talk 05:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as likely WP:NEO. SynergeticMaggot 06:37, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Defining a term used in a subculture is useful (if verified) but this one is both self explanatory and unverified, so we're left with the list of examples, which is nice, but also unverified original research. - Wickning1 14:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Weak Delete as WP:OR, unless some better external sources can be cited to answer the questions raised by Voice of Treason. A mailing list and two 'blogs inventing a term and then writing an article about it is original research and WP:NEO. Who, other than self-described progressive anime fans, uses the term "progressive anime"? Scorpiondollprincess 16:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment, suggest deletion of Progressive animation as well. Article wholly based on WP:OR, WP:NEO, and the opinionated essay of one individual on USENET. Voice of Treason 22:07, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

- Comment: Yes; see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion, under "How to list multiple related pages for deletion". inkling 03:43, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I know you can list multiple, I questioned adding another article to the vote 3 days later, which I would think would invalidate any votes before that point in time, since there has been a drastic change in what is being voted on. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 10:44, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
