[edit] Story Manga

Story Manga (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Disputed prod. The article is clear original research based on a nologism. Farix (Talk) 17:12, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment Is it a neologism? The Japanese wikipedia article seems to indicate (at least based on a machine translation) the term's been used since 1925. A better reader might be able to come up with more (and identify whether it is, indeed, original research). —Quasirandom (talk) 17:34, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Incidentally, the external link (written by a historian of manga) makes it clear that if Osama Tezuka didn't coin the term, he certainly popularized it after the War. That plus the search a la Dhartung show that it's neither neologism nor original research. Barely sourced, incomplete, and borderline incoherent in places, but notable and worth an article. Keep and mark as in need of expert attention from the relevant Wikiproject. —Quasirandom (talk) 01:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Desperately needs better sources, but it clearly is NOT original research but a summary of the provided source. The "neologism" is found and discussed in more than sufficient depth in Google Books and Google Scholar. I don't feel much responsible checking was done for this nomination. --Dhartung | Talk 22:01, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. Some people mistakes AfD for clean-up. If this article is not good, wikify it. Deletion is very extreme. Zerokitsune (talk) 04:34, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
