[edit] Timeline of Dragon Ball

Timeline of Dragon Ball (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This a non-notable, crufty list of dates in a fictional series. It cannot be referenced adequately, and is probably plagiarized. There is no way for it to be improved. Nemu 00:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I should probably point out the deletion for Power level (Dragon Ball). It relied off of the same material for a source, and was more important in general than this (yet still crufty and unimportant). Nemu 01:07, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Dragonball has Three parts The timeline nicely summerises it all. DBZROCKS 01:06, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Please change your "Support" and "Oppose" votes to "Keep" and "Delete". It appears very confusing. Are you supporting deleting or supporting keeping? - Zero1328 Talk? 01:11, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete, if the article can be a bit more in depth and if information is cited to insure that it's not plagiarized, it may be useful for some people. --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 00:52, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

*Keep I support the Dragon Ball Timeline because it summirises the plot of the entire series including movies without being too long. DBZROCKS 00:25, 10 April 2007 (UTC) *Keep I feel that it is need do to it has the time and dates of many important event in Dragon Ball history. It can be improved but it is a ok article.

  • Very, very weak Keep This page needs to be worked heavily, I will try to add references as soon as I'm done with Devil May Cry's FAC. -凶 00:37, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Per Nemu's points--$UIT 00:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Material that only appeared in a "reference" book and only in Japan. Since it wasn't adapted directly from the series (which had very very few references to internal dates), inclusion of such a lengthly list can't be anything more than plagarism.JRP 01:24, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep It's a timeline of a major series, which could certainly be improved if people took the effort to do so. I'm not sure how anyone could claim Dragon Ball is non-notable, but whatever. The only valid concern is the copyright issue. Where do you believe it was copied from? FrozenPurpleCube 03:18, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment It's basically a word for word copy of its only source, the only noticeable difference being what things are called and how they're spelt. Given that this source says, "If you see this exact translation on anyone elses' site, that means they stole it from me, in that event, please contact me," you could easily slap a {{db-copyvio}} on it and be done with it. ~SnapperTo 06:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Well, sounds like somebody should contact that author then, see if they care to give permission for its use, and if not, delete, with no prejudice against recreation. FrozenPurpleCube 14:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, ballcruft. -- Hoary 05:40, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Copyright violation and WP:NOT a plot summary. ' 09:48, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and per WP:NOT a plot summary. Notice also Dragon Ball alternate timelines. Fram 10:52, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Go ahead and Delete After taking a look at the copied source Snapper just gave us I now go with the points Nemu gave us. So I revert my earlier statement. Heat P 11:48, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Yeah i just looked at the page and it really isn't necessisary. put blunt it sucks. forget what I said earlier. DBZROCKS 11:56, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep, because timelines are helpful for putting things in chronological context! --Wikipedian, Historian, and Friend? 16:14, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
    Wikipedian, Historian, and Friend? (talk · contribs) just opined "strong keep" in 27 AFD discussions over a period of 35 minutes, several times with clearly disruptive rationales. Uncle G 16:47, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per the other deletes. Acalamari 17:23, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Snapper2. Would reconsider if the original author were willing to relicense under GFDL. --ElKevbo 21:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
