[edit] This Is Otakudom

• delete anime-cruft— Milkandwookiees ^(T | C) 16:12, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep It passes the notariety test with 3,080 hits, but the article itself doesn't make a strong argument for it's notariety, influence or importance. Perhaps simply needs a cleanup. Markeer 16:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, the article makes absolutely no case for itself and "fandub" and "using footage" are powerful words to aid it in its trip to the Wikipedia exit, IMO. - Motor (talk) 19:13, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - per Motor. Wickethewok 19:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep per Markeer. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 20:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep OTAKU 00:28, 7 June 2006 (UTC) named after me thank you
• Delete Cruft. Nertz 00:40, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Definite Keep, but needs improvement. I don't see any reason to just toss the whole thing. People coming across the name will want to at least know what it is. I'm ending my day now, but I was planning to work on this entry in the next couple of days. What in particular is needed? CFLeon 02:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki to wikia:c:Anime or something unless sourced from secondary, reputable sources. Kotepho 02:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, I have a copy of the thing and the makers have a website. What else is needed? CFLeon 22:28, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and improve/expand. It's a stub right now, but that doesn't qualify it to be deleted. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 15:32, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete I'm an anime editor. I usually like to keep (or merge) stuff. This, however is totally non-notable. Show a source? (not ANN sites, blog, forum, or primary.) I don't think it passes the google test. When torrent, blog, wikipedia, and forum were removed from the search it only gets around 1,000 hits. Most of those are fansites, forums, or blogs with one or two showings at a local anime club or con. If keep, it should be merged into Otaku or Anime convention --Kunzite 03:11, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep I just caught a screening of S.T.E.A.M. at A-kon 17 in Dallas, TX (June 9-11 2006) and went looking for it online. This article helped me immensely in my search, I may not have found out what I had been watching otherwise. I've actually heard about Otakudom many times before but did not realize what this sequel was. I just updated the article as best I could (still trying to track down the correct running times). These guys have made two very long (nearly an hour), very high quality videos now, with all original voice acting. The movies rank up there with Troops and other high quality fan works in my opinion. They are well-known enough to be included in conventions that have no relationship with the creators (A-kon), and many con-goers like me (200+ in the room I was in) are going to be searching for information about this. I've seen articles survive with much less merit. --wickning1 14:03, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
