Not notable. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 02:44, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dropping. I didn't think a reliable review would be found. Hello KrebMarkt. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 08:15, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - How is it not notable? It ran its course in Shonen Sunday for two years; while it lacks a proper English release, it has foreign publications from Singapore, France and Germany. Sources on this will be in Japanese. We shouldn't delete major works simply because they don't have an English release. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:51, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
comment notability isnt determined by status. But how many times its been noted, and right now only releases are shown. As much as I hate to say it, several shonen sunday manga rarely make it to be notable. Lets not forget these are known to us by scanlations more than anything. And usually dragonzero would nominate it without looking for the chance to expand it. Im on the verge of delete unless any new info (reception and development) can be found.Lucia Black (talk) 03:06, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I used to argue to keep things like this for years, but then found I could just transport the entire article elsewhere, so people could still read it, so it no longer mattered to me.

Keep Wikipedia:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga/Online_reliable_sources shows all three of those places on it, so that counts as coverage. I guess this article will be saved after all. Good work. Dream Focus 07:56, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It may have not been covered a lot in English sources, but it has in other languages, and according to our guidelines any source of any language is acceptable. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 09:52, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
