The result was merge to Youn In-wan. Consensus seems to hold that this manga is insufficiently notable for an independent article. The author, as well as being more notable, also has a fairly short and stubby article at the moment, so the consensus to merge this article there seems clear and logical. ~ mazca ^talk 00:33, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Akuma Bengoshi Kukabara[edit]

Fails to assert notability and unsourced. Given that it is a one-shot manga, the likelihood of reliable third-party sources covering the work is piratically none. Disputed prod. Farix (Talk) 23:15, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I just corrected the spelling of the guy's name in the article. He is a notable manga writer, with several notable series. There are a lot of places mentioning him online, and his various manga series. Sorting through the tens of thousands of hits to find one which is considered a notable third party media source, is a rather difficult tasks, but I'd assume some of them would count. If there is no official English translation, then finding a review in English might be difficult to do, however common sense would suggests if the manga creator is famous for having past successful series, then any work they do will get reviewed somewhere.

Delete No coverage to speak of, appears to fail all criteria of WP:BK. The authorship fails criteria #5 of WP:BK: "The book's author is so historically significant that any of his or her written works may be considered notable.". This is clearly not the case, as the other two works by this artist are red linked and don't appear in reliable sources (Korean or English). --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 08:58, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- That's not entirely accurate; he's responsible for Blade of the Phantom Master (which definitely isn't a redlink). ;) 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 21:05, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sorry, I missed that. Anyway, this still fails WP:BK. No prejudice against an appropriate merge as an alternative to deletion. --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 09:46, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect into Youn In-wan. The subject of this article isn't notable unto itself, though it seems the author is. — X S G 03:13, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
