Redirect to Dragon Ball#Collectible cards per nom; this page is solely based on primary sources and has a ton of fancruft. Link20XX (talk) 23:55, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/rename This article appears to cover both the 2008 game and the 2017 game ("Dragon Ball Super Card game") which is apparently basically a revision to the 2008 game? Dragon Ball Super Card Game appears to be notable. There is what appears to be an independent book ([1], and a fair bit of coverage by relevant fan sites ([2], [([3], [4], [5] including reviews [6]. I'm no subject expert, but it looks like the 2017 game is notable and it makes sense to also have some coverage of the 2008 game. That said, the current article has lots of problems and could stand to be hugely trimmed. Hobit (talk) 21:57, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep or redirect. There is something notable here, I hope, but given the current woeful state of this (terrible referencing), WP:TNT is frankly an option too. [7] and [8] suggest that the topic of Dragon Ball card games may be notable, and such an article can indeed discuss various games from that franchise (there is also Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game which looks only a little bit better...). The current article could redirect there. But such an article does not exist yet. A redirect target to consider could be Dragon_Ball#Collectible_cards. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:16, 10 May 2023 (UTC) PS.

Weak keep - There are likely many articles available for citing as this is a popular series. It needs a lot of TLC, or as Piotr said, some TNT. Strong oppose to redirect. Leitmotiv (talk) 23:53, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
