[edit] Arguments

  • Delete
  1. nn manga
  2. w/o sources
  3. written by redlinks
  4. establishes no notability for the book
  5. violates WP:PLOT
  6. No references
  7. original creator of the article stated in an edit summary that the work is too obscure and unknown to have a proper reception section. However, the notability of this work depends heavily on such a section, or similar section using third-party sources, being written
  8. does not inherit notabilty from creators
  • Keep
  1. Article has been considerable improved since nomination
  2. nomination is weak
  3. nomination came too soon after article created
  4. Manga coverage is spotty
  5. contains enough encyclopedic content to be useful
  6. Reception sections for untranslated manga are nigh impossible to find, and have never been a requirement for anything below a B rating
  7. typical article for manga

[edit] Summary

There were no clear-cut incontrovertible arguments on either side. Both sides have good points. But it occurs to me that the delete arguments can be satisfied by a further search for english sources and a little article development, which this AfD did not allow by being made so soon after creation. My decision, therefore is Keep. Jerry talk ยค count/logs 02:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
