Silent Möbius timeline[edit]

Disputed prod: procedural listing. Neutral SarekOfVulcan (talk) 02:55, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - original prodder. My reason was "Fails WP:NOTE, WP:PLOT, WP:WAF, and WP:N. Primarily OR with only a few vague sources." The PROD was removed by the usual IP who deprods most of the anime/manga prods for no reason. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 03:06, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Plot-only list with no hope for change (WP:NOT#PLOT), no reliable sources (WP:RS) mixed with some original research (WP:OR), the manga ran for just 12 issues and this article give WP:UNDUE weight, ... – sgeureka ^t•c 07:52, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: That 12 is the number of compilation volumes of the individually serialized chapters (I don't have a figure on how many of those there are, but it was serialzed monthly for 8 years). —Quasirandom (talk) 16:16, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well it certainly doesn't fail notability; Silent Mobius was more than just a manga, there were two full-length movies. The main article has plenty of room for improvement, and perhaps the timeline could be made into a chart and placed there. Squidfryerchef (talk) 15:11, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, or trim and Merge. The series doesn't fail notability, but there's no reason for the plot to be spunout into its own article. Doceirias (talk) 20:07, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not finding any reliable sources that indicate that the timeline of the series is of itself notable, though there are unreliable ones, nor any that discuss it in detail. However, condensed down, this would make a valuable contribution to the story description of the Silent Möbius article, which is mighty thin indeed, especially for a series that passes WP:BK by several meters. So, selectively merge back into the main article. —Quasirandom (talk) 16:20, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll agree, SM's main article is in poor shape, with its plot really only covering Mobius Klein and the first few episodes. I'm not sure, however, that parts of this could be merged in well to flesh that out more. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 20:15, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge some of that (trimmed) into the manga/series/movie article 70.51.9.198 (talk) 04:00, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:NOT#PLOT, WP:OR. No coverage by reliable, independent sources to pass WP:NOTE. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 00:00, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
