Peter Pan Syndrome (manga)[edit]

Non-notable manga by a non-notable manga artist with no significant coverage in reliable, third party sources. Original prod was disputed based on the number of ghits, which is a false standard to determine notability. Farix (Talk) 13:34, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If it hasn't officially been released in English, you won't find any reviews for it in any English media. Googling for the Japanese name of it in quotation marks and the Japanese name of the writer in quotation marks, I found mention of it about. [1] I do not know what major newspapers or other publications that count as proof of notability exists, so I can't narrow down the search. I listed on the talk page why it seems notable.

And just how much digging did you actually go through with those links. All of the ones I checked were sales catalogs with a blog entry thrown in here and there. Again, notability is not established by the number of ghits, and 1,210 hits is in fact a rather small number. --Farix (Talk) 14:06, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
@Dream Focus: There are series that have been reviewed in English that haven't been licensed -- Vinland Saga and Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou come to mind. Just so you know. —Quasirandom (talk) 15:26, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom. Tokyopop Germany have licensed it, but aside from that there's very little actual info out there, and as stated most of it is japanese book sellers or scanlation sites (neither assert notability). Dandy Sephy (talk) 15:17, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. No significant coverage in reliable sources and unlicensed beyond one German publisher, so unlikely to have more. Fails WP:BK. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 17:01, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm kinda surprised that Viz Media hasn't snapped this up for their Shoujo Beat line, as it's exactly the sort of cute urban fantasy adventure they handle so well. However, they haven't, and I'm finding precious little reliable about it. Selectively merge pertinant info up to the author, Mayu Sakai, to associate the title with her. —Quasirandom (talk) 18:10, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OT, but with the current down turn in the anime/manga market, it seems more companies are cutting back on licenses beyond "sure hits" (like all the Tanemura stuff). -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:38, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, unless the author's page is up for deletion as well, articles like this should never be deleted. Merge is always preferable. Doceirias (talk) 19:22, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Its currently tagged for notability and likely will be prodded or AfDed within the next week. Still seeing if there is anything notable about her, but so far, not finding anything. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:38, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
