Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Anime and manga

Article alerts are available, updated by AAlertBot. More information...

This is a list of discussions primarily on the deletion of pages related to Anime and manga. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. An archive of past discussions is maintained at the first archive (AfDs up to 2021) and this new archive (2021 and beyond).

You can help maintain the list on this page. To list a new discussion for:

• An article: Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
• A category, template, or miscellaneous page: Edit this page and add the appropriate template to the top of the list - the hidden comments contain code examples and more instructions, and specific documentation can be found at {{cfdl}}, {{mfdl}}, and {{xfdl}}. If there are no other discussions at the time, be sure to comment out the line at the top stating that.
• WP:PROD: Edit this page and add *{{prodded|PageName|Date|}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, and replace "Date" with the date that the page was prodded. If there are no other discussions at the time, be sure to comment out the line at the top stating that.

Discussions should also be tagged by adding {{subst:delsort|Anime and manga|--~~~~}} to them, which will inform participants that the discussion has been listed here. There are several scripts and tools available that can help automate this process.

Please do not remove completed discussions or prods without archiving them. For instructions on how to archive, see the talk page. If you do not want to try to archive a completed discussion, just leave it here and another user will be along shortly to archive the discussion.

Please note that listing a discussion on, or archiving it from, this page does not add it to, or remove it from, the main page at WP:AFD, WP:CFD, WP:TFD, etc. If you want to nominate a page for deletion, go through the process on the appropriate XFD page before adding it to this page. If you regularly nominate pages for deletion, you may be interested in using Twinkle to help automate the process.

List of Samurai Deeper Kyo characters

The article only has one primary source. I wouldn't necessarily oppose to merge it with the main series article, but I don't think that there is any benefit in adding a large amount of unnecessary and unsourced content. Xexerss (talk) 19:25, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

• Delete and redirect to Samurai_Deeper_Kyo#Characters. Without any reliable secondary sources, there is no reason for a standalone list like this to exist. Fred Zepelin (talk) 20:33, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

• Redirect to Samurai Deeper Kyo, that way if there is any content to be salvaged (a source needs to be added) it can. --Fulmard (talk) 04:16, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

An IP editor keeps recreating the page of this character. He very clearly fails WP:GNG and should be a list section and nothing more. All the reception is sourced to content-farms or trivial mentions. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:42, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

• Merge: Most One Piece articles feel copied from a wiki and nearly rushed. Same with Boa Hancock who has only one sentence in reception while Chopper still has the same copied referenced sentences in the actual lead section. I removed most of unreliable sources from Sanji too and it ended up looking worse. I think this already happened last year to the point I was warned or something for merging back the articles.Tintor2 (talk) 19:15, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
• Merge to List of One Piece characters per nominator and Tintor2. Fred Zepelin (talk) 21:21, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
