The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. The keep arguments are weak, particularly in the absence of any sources that show that the publication meets WP:NPERIODICAL or WP:GNG. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 01:16, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No sources except it's own site, and a google search doesn't give any sources except other wiki sites. Does not appear to be notable. 4thfile4thrank {talk} :? 15:01, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: a very notable reading source for young readers in Taiwan and often publishes things from Weekly Shōnen Jump. However, it suffers from lack of English sourcing. I think this article is written well but needs editors to help source it better.-- Jjj84206 (talk)

DELETE: no independent coverage The Ace in Spades (talk) 23:50, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It publishes some of the most popular series there are. So a notable publication. Dream Focus 01:51, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not a single independant source has been presented, so currently it very clearly fails WP:GNG. I'm happy to change my mind if significant coverage in reliable sources independant of the subject should surface. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 10:24, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This article appears to present relevant information about the Taiwanese equivalent of a notable Japanese serial, as mentioned above. This article needs assistance from a Chinese-language editor to find the secondary sources that would appear to be there in Chinese. I would hate to lose a useful article for lack of the needed language skills to save it.--Concertmusic (talk) 19:50, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There are a number of WP:ITSIMPORTANT arguments but that is not the standard of notability for periodicals. There is no indication of WP:SIGCOV and none of the indicators of WP:NMEDIA have been demonstrated. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 19:09, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
