The result was no consensus. The sense of the debate is that, having shipped in such a volume, this manga ought to be notable and verifiable, although no one is quite sure how important it is and the article as written has not been verified with reliable secondary sources. It may pass the third prong of WP:BK, although that refers specifically to a "notable motion picture", which brings us back to the original question. This is the first time this article has been nominated for deletion; it's appropriate to close out the debate as no consensus for now, while noting that in any subsequent debate these issues, if not addressed, are grounds for deletion.

prodded because the series failed WP:BK and will likely continue to do so. ip 159.182.1.4 removed prod with the reason "21 manga volumes AND a movie seems pretty notable." However, while it would "seem" to be, there is no indication that it passes any of the tests for WP:BK. The sequal manga series has charted on the top of weekly listings in Japan, but only for the first week. There is no commentary on the original, the movie or the sequal series from reliable sources and unlikely to be any. Furthermore it is unlikely the manga will be translated, or its sequal. 陣 内 Jinnai 19:02, 10 November 2009 (UTC)}} reply
