[edit] Secret of Mana Theater

Secret of Mana Theater (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Deleted once Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Secret of Mana Theater as failing to assert notability, now asserts it but without establishing it. No reliable sources (comixpedia is user-updated), not won an award or anything. Guy (Help!) 10:58, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Guy, your comments are noted and agreed with, but the article is in its infancy, so all I'm asking for is some time to find references and pull them together. Thank you! -- MegaLegoChai 01:38, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, no reliable sources. (And isn't that: Oh my god you killed **** a plagiate from South Park ? ) Alf^Photoman 14:09, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Alf, parody usually involves some semblance to the original material, however, that is indeed a poor choice for an image. -- MegaLegoChai 01:38, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I second that, it was a parody in the first episode, the image has been replaced and I also agree that it was indeed a bad choice for the image. -- 69.180.162.212 18:05, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - I'm apologize to the mod know as Guy, I did not reinstate this article. He was kind enough to move it to my user page for editing after the initial article was speedy deleted. Hoewver, there are people working on it but we're busy people. Please give those of us who are editing it a little time to edit the article for criteria. I would very much appreciate this, thank you! -- MegaLegoChai 15:48, 2 March 2007 (UTC) moved over from first nom where it was accidently added. Koweja 17:31, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep, Webcomics do not have significant enough presence on Wikipedia to date despite being a widely spread medium and even the gateway for some independant artists into the world of printed distribution (see megatokyo, Inverloch, etc). Secret of Mana Theater is a prime example the animated webcomic genre and in quality even up there to the likes of Homestar Runner and similar widespread flash based comics. Secret of mana theater has won an award, keeps a constant presense in buzzcomix top 100. Usually top 30 when updating and top 15 on update days. Secret of Mana Theater is also referred to and commended by various sources, most recently Bob and George. Secret of Mana theater has had ongoing presence at many anime conventions and will be at the upcoming Anime Central alongside 9th elsewhere as well. Also the article will be able to cite more sources as it grows. --69.180.162.212 18:05, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. It has been finalist competition for clearly notable entries such as Homestar Runner. It ranks sporadically among the top webcomics on sites tracking such information. However, it's prominance seems to be fading and assertions of notability need to be backed up. Vassyana 07:52, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - I did a search and determined that there is not sufficient source material to include an attributed, encyclopedic article about this topic. Since the topic fails WP:Notability, the article should be deleted. (I am very impressed by MegaLegoChai's politeness and civility, however.) -- Jreferee 18:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
