Issues to be mediated

All aspects of article content over which there is disagreement should be listed here. The filing party should define the scope under "Primary issues", which is used to frame the case; other parties to the dispute can list other issues under "Additional issues", and can contest the primary issues on the case talk page.

Primary issues

• Whether or not Sailor Moon (English adaptation) is a legitimate WP:SPINOUT or rather a WP:POVFORK
• Whether, regardless of the above, if it should be merged into Editing of anime in American distribution and/or Sailor Moon
• Whether Sailor Moon's structure in separating English adaptations from which the afore mentioned spinout article originates is in violation of NPOV when there are other possible ways of structuring the information.

Additional issues (added by other parties)

• Whether the other possible ways of structuring the information have the effect of obscuring the notable topic of how Sailor Moon was adapted into English, as a case study of Editing of anime in American distribution.
• Additional issue 2
