Japan (Eiji Ōtsuka manga)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Wikipedia is not a duplicate of Anime News Network. A short run series with no coverage by reliable sources outside of directories and catalog entries. Fails WP:NOTE and WP:BK. —Farix (t | c) 14:01, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Merge into Eiji Ōtsuka and be done with this one sentence article. --President of Internets (talk) 14:44, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The earlier AFD was opened on 19 October, but the article was either improperly tagged or the tag was removed. I have closed that debate. The nominator's statement is posted below, for reference. UltraExactZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 15:12, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Notability not established in the article, no sources, even no content.-- deerstop. 22:45, 19 October 2009 (UTC)Copied from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Japan (Eiji Ōtsuka manga). UltraExactZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 15:12, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The other debate was still open, so I have closed it now. Hopefully I closed it correctly, as I haven't closed an AfD before. Calathan (talk) 04:53, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep My rationales is that series received enough third party coverage in France but could also "userfy" on me as i am not in the mood to salvage that article right now. --KrebMarkt 15:16, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
1. ActuaBD a generalist comics website who also review manga. Two of their editors are actually qualified members of the French ACBD (Association of Comics critics & journalists) [1] which happens to award the "prix de la critique" at the Angoulême International Comics Festival and the "prix Asie-BD" during the Japan Expo.
2. SF mag a paper monthly magazine in Sci-Fi. I personally don't like that publication but they did review that manga series.
3. Planete BD not much to say, a modest generalist comics website.
4. Manga Sanctuary 2nd biggest animanga French website (size & traffic).
Keep KrebMarkt's sources prove notability. Dream Focus 16:18, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per KrebMarkt, it looks like sources are there. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:48, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep: Though those sources and more information will actually need to be added! I know much shouldn't be expected of it with the stub label, but don't we at least have an official website or article for/link to the author? Assuming it gets a third-party perspective summary and sources added it'll be in good shape. Datheisen (talk) 22:04, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep based on the sources found by KrebMarkt. Edward321 (talk) 04:24, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
