I don't think there is much need for discussion on this one, but I'd prefer to go through the formality of not adding it straight to the list.
The British Film Institute hosts a database of TV and Movies here. It's not amazingly detailed, and it's not perfect (I couldn't find a director on there because it had his name mispelled) but it covers anime amongst live action etc so may be of use in some cases where alternate sources are hard to come by, although it's usage for anime will be limited to movies. The database is maintained and operated by the institute from their own information and there does not appear to be any user generated content (and if there was it would have been checked before being added).

An ANON editor as well as a newly registered user - who I have reason to believe is the ANON as well - is trying to pass off a fan fiction character named Saruto Uzumaki as a legitimate character on the List of Naruto characters article. There have been 5 reverts within 24hrs since it started, 3 of which have been from me. Two other editors have helped in removing the content. The disruptive editor has also created a personal article for their character (Here: Saruto Uzumaki) which I have tagged for speedy deletion after another editor tried but the tag was removed mistakenly by another. Protection on the List page may be necessary if they come back and try to push it again. Respective warnings for deliberate factual errors and vandalism have been issued.

I have started a discussion at Etchi regarding the correct usage of the term as well as what should be it's correct name. The article claims that 'ecchi' is incorrect, but not only is it the reading of the katakana (and entering etchi via keyboard with katakana mode on just gives 'エtチ' instead of 'エッチ)it's by far the common usage of the term. Additionally, there is a book source for ecchi that doesn't even mention etchi as an alternative, although I'll have to add it later. The page was moved recently and with no real reason stated (and the recent edits by the same user seem to be just to reflect their opinion and not necessarily fact), but I thought this would benefit from further input.

While trying to find out why a couple of webcomics are showing up in the improved AfD CatScan, the naming scheme of these categories began bothering me.
To display all subcategories click on the "►": |

They are not very descriptive, and taking their literal meetings, aren't suitable category names. It would be literally like having genre categories named Category:Women, Category:Men, Category:Boys, Category:Girls, Category:Children. We have already moved the various demographic articles to aid in clarification. So I'm proposing that the associated categories be renamed in kind:

I've noticed a tendancy in the Anime and Manga articles to list original works as "Adapations" when they clearly aren't. FE: Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple has the manga listed under an "adapatation" although the lead clearly states it is the original work. One cannot be an original work and an adaptation at the same time. I do not know if our MoS really deals with this, but it does make things confusing as to what is an original and what is an adaptation when its listed in multiple locations let alone that adaptation has a clear meaning that is used and understood in such a way by the public and the rest of Wikipedia that it cannot be the original. 陣 内 Jinnai 20:20, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I’m a fan of 91.8 The Fan ( http://www.918thefan.com) and I’ve been attempting to add links to voice actor interviews to their respective pages. From my knowledge Wikipedia does allow interviews concerning voice actors, but when I was attempting to add them they all got deleted.
I was a little confused by this because many of these interviews confirm or deny roles that Wikipedia states. In relation with that, it seems that 91.8 The Fan has the largest collection of western voice actor interviews and it seems like a valuable resource. I’m not trying to stuff this down anyone’s throat or get in trouble, I just wanted to ask if these are reliable resources or not? These are conversations with voice actors for up to hours, which I think is pretty interesting.
Maybe you guys could help us gauge whether or not these are okay?
Their interviews are listed here of the following people: http://918thefan.com/category/industry-interview/
I would like to confirm that I am not under their payroll, and that’s why I’m not sure why I‘m in trouble.

It's not much of an issue, it's much more difficult to find reception for smaller games and such. you can't complain if something is merged for the right reasons.

Insofar as spinout/adaptation articles are concerned, we are in a somewhat unique position on Wikipedia, for a number of reasons. Most generally, Wikipedia has its own version of the presumption of innocence - the "presumption of nonnotability". That is, the burden for establishing notability for a given topic or subject is on the individual wishing to write an article on it; this is most obviously supported by the entire AfD process. This also means that, even if a given subject *could* meet WP:N and company, it is assumed that it does not until explicitly shown that it does. The natural consequence of this for us specifically is that we end up with literally hundreds, if not thousands, of potential articles on notable subjects (including "the vast majority of anime soundtracks and video game adaptations") which may never get written simply because all notability-establishing reliable sources for those subjects are in e.g. Japanese and we have very little luck with finding reliable Japanese sources (this is not because such sources are scarce - anime and manga are, in Japan, as significant a part of the culture as Hollywood is here in America, and thus it is a reasonable assumption that reliable Japanese sources should be just as prevalent - nor is it for a lack of trying on our part, since most Japanese newspapers and magazines - the most obvious reliable Japanese sources - do not yet keep extended archives on their web sites). Next, the idea of having articles for adaptations is mostly handled by having spinout lists of episodes, chapters, films, video games, novels, albums, etc. - I do not believe it to be an exaggeration that we make more use of such spinout lists than even WP:TV. We have developed these lists so much, in fact, that many of them would only need production and reception information to pass for articles on adaptations, once they were brought up to about a high C or a B - this basically means that our adaptation articles are almost all in the form of spinout lists. Our MOS is written with our unique circumstances in mind, and, in my opinion at least, works quite well given those circumstances. Lastly, a significant reason we cannot support articles on adaptations everywhere they might pass WP:N is a lack of manpower - we are one of the larger projects on Wikipedia in terms of amount of content, but do a quick headcount of those of us who actually contribute to the project - discussing matters here, assessing, cleaning up, and categorizing articles, etc. - as opposed to those who simply edit articles related to their favorite series. We are, in fact, probably at a greater disadvantage than the other arts and media-related projects, considering anime and manga's ability to so strongly polarize its fanbase along so many different dividing lines. Now, to discuss the specific example of Dragon Ball GT mentioned above (especially in regards to the comment alluding to reliance on eventualism), let me point out that at the time it was merged/redirected to Dragon Ball, the article had existed since August 2003 (just shy of 5 years) without ever progressing beyond a largely-unreferenced, frequently vandalized, start-class article lacking any type of production or reception information. This is one of the foremost reasons requests to resplit it are refused, not because of some hidden deletionist agenda. -- Dinoguy1000 ( talk · contribs) as 67.58.229.153 ( talk) 20:20, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
I think part of the reticence to have article for adaptation is that it can be perceived as a "carte blanche" for more spin-out which is something we don't want at all. Another point is can we spin-out adaptation article without degrading the quality of the original article? Last point that no one gave a sane answer yet is what do we do with the other medias meaning Drama CD, Web Radio show, etc.... Do we cover it in the anime article or the manga article?
My current position is that beyond main article and related lists volumes, episodes, characters & soundtracks, every others spin-out articles have to be justified with enough verified contents proving that it's worth it. You want a spin-out fine, earn it. I sick tired of editors making false promise. --

Notice the number of articles in the cats listed in Category:Anime and manga series categories. With a few exceptions, most of the categories have no more than 5 articles in them. this seems to be sort of over-categorization were practically every series with a couple of spin-out articles—usually a character, volume, and episode lists—is given it's own category. So the question is, how many articles are necessary before it is necessary to create a category for that series? — Farix ( t | c) 22:08, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
While going through articles for merging, I noticed that there are 28 articles that are almost all stubs for the soundtracks marked as suggested merges. Would it be better to just merge them all into a DBZ Discography minus the really notable stand out ones ?

List of Dr. Slump (1997) episodes. Apparently this is the first episode of the second anime of the series. I think it should just be deleted. DragonZero ( talk · contribs) 04:30, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Since I've seen a lot of OST talk, i was wondering if anyone could possibly check the rep-article I've done and see if anyone could help on it. Krebmarkt already provided refs with most of the soundtracks in the discussion page, unfortunately i cannot 'read' Japanese. I removed most of the CD cast and left the important ones temporarily so i could put it in prose format later and possibly remove more of it. I'll try to move the information of the infoboxes onto the opening paragraph of there respected section.
Reason why i named it "Music of Ghost in the Shell" instead of "List of Ghost in the Shell Albums" is because i thought there is information on any reception towards Yoko Kanno onto the articles (which I'm pretty positive there is). So if anyone found something like that but in Japanese, it would be great to include it. other than that, the reason why i posted it here is because i think it's ready to merge all the OST and Singles together, but I'm always self conscious about it so thought it should get reviewed first.

There is currently an edit war going on between me and a new editor who persists to change "Gunmen", the spelling of the mecha used in the official English releases, to "Ganmen", the transliteration of the original ガンメン. I have attempted to point the user to WP:MOS-AM, though at this point I don't see the user ready to listen to any argument I might give. Gunmen is used in reliable reviews here, here, here, and here, and I found "Gunmen" used on Bandai's website for the first film.

Brining this up because I made a request for School Rumble to have this level of assement. Problem is that it has become too quality of an article to get properly peer reviewed (it gets ignored because users are intimidated by the bredth and quality of the info), but it has failed 3 FACs because it isn't quite FAC material and the reasoning given is generally unhelpful to me improving the article. So I am wanting some help in getting it to the point to do so and to give it a level where it coud pass. This means having mutiple reviewers who know their stuff come in, ie essentially an A-class assessment. I know we don't normally allow these, but I would like to make special expections for these cases.
Note, that while SR is under the VG WP, it is a legacy link from when the video game articles were all merged and quite possibly could be removed. I do not think it would be proper to ask them for such an assement which is why I am making it here. 陣 内 Jinnai 19:50, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 32,665 as of May 16. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.
Your Project's list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Unreferenced BLPs. As of May 17 you have approximately 169 articles to be referenced, a 2.9% reduction from last week.

This article (and really series of articles) is in massive need of attention. The main article was in really bad shape, and still is. I did a quick, rough clean up for formatting and removing some OR, but it has a ton of excessive plot, fan OR/gushing, etc. [11] It is also lacking references and seems to be split up way too much in terms of the various adaptations (many of which aren't particularly notable), while lacking in a proper episode and character list. It has few references either, despite the series being one with quite a bit of coverage [12] due to its popularity and likely the controversial nature of the story.

People have suggested I come here to ask about a consensus in renaming Ojamajo Doremi to its international and better-known title, Magical DoReMi, as by manual of style for anime and manga articles. Our conversation is here, where most of us have reached an agreement that we should rename the article. However, this might prove to be an issue for the other installments of Ojamajo Doremi, neither of which have been released in English.

WP:MOS-AM says to use the name commonly known in English, in this case with the Digimon series, that mean Digimon Adventure 02 should be titled Digimon (season two) — since they've been labeled as seasons rather than different series. However, the MOS also states "If there are multiple official titles, use the one that is best known and that has contributed most to the work's becoming known in the broader English-speaking world." Google hits for Digimon (season 2) is 133,000, while Digimon Adventure 02 has 11,300,000 hits, meaning that Adventure 02 is more known than (season two).

The British Film Institute hosts a database of TV and Movies here. It's not amazingly detailed, and it's not perfect (I couldn't find a director on there because it had his name mispelled) but it covers anime amongst live action etc so may be of use in some cases where alternate sources are hard to come by, although it's usage for anime will be limited to movies. The database is maintained and operated by the institute from their own information and there does not appear to be any user generated content (and if there was it would have been checked before being added).

The article claims that 'ecchi' is incorrect, but not only is it the reading of the katakana (and entering etchi via keyboard with katakana mode on just gives 'エtチ' instead of 'エッチ)it's by far the common usage of the term. Additionally, there is a book source for ecchi that doesn't even mention etchi as an alternative, although I'll have to add it later.

I've noticed a tendancy in the Anime and Manga articles to list original works as "Adapations" when they clearly aren't. FE: Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple has the manga listed under an "adapatation" although the lead clearly states it is the original work. One cannot be an original work and an adaptation at the same time. I do not know if our MoS really deals with this, but it does make things confusing as to what is an original and what is an adaptation when its listed in multiple locations let alone that adaptation has a clear meaning that is used and understood in such a way by the public and the rest of Wikipedia that it cannot be the original. 陣 内 Jinnai 20:20, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I’m a fan of 91.8 The Fan ( http://www.918thefan.com) and I’ve been attempting to add links to voice actor interviews to their respective pages. From my knowledge Wikipedia does allow interviews concerning voice actors, but when I was attempting to add them they all got deleted.
I was a little confused by this because many of these interviews confirm or deny roles that Wikipedia states. In relation with that, it seems that 91.8 The Fan has the largest collection of western voice actor interviews and it seems like a valuable resource. I’m not trying to stuff this down anyone’s throat or get in trouble, I just wanted to ask if these are reliable resources or not? These are conversations with voice actors for up to hours, which I think is pretty interesting.
Maybe you guys could help us gauge whether or not these are okay?
Their interviews are listed here of the following people: http://918thefan.com/category/industry-interview/
I would like to confirm that I am not under their payroll, and that’s why I’m not sure why I‘m in trouble.

Insofar as spinout/adaptation articles are concerned, we are in a somewhat unique position on Wikipedia, for a number of reasons. Most generally, Wikipedia has its own version of the presumption of innocence - the "presumption of nonnotability". That is, the burden for establishing notability for a given topic or subject is on the individual wishing to write an article on it; this is most obviously supported by the entire AfD process. This also means that, even if a given subject *could* meet WP:N and company, it is assumed that it does not until explicitly shown that it does. The natural consequence of this for us specifically is that we end up with literally hundreds, if not thousands, of potential articles on notable subjects (including "the vast majority of anime soundtracks and video game adaptations") which may never get written simply because all notability-establishing reliable sources for those subjects are in e.g. Japanese and we have very little luck with finding reliable Japanese sources (this is not because such sources are scarce - anime and manga are, in Japan, as significant a part of the culture as Hollywood is here in America, and thus it is a reasonable assumption that reliable Japanese sources should be just as prevalent - nor is it for a lack of trying on our part, since most Japanese newspapers and magazines - the most obvious reliable Japanese sources - do not yet keep extended archives on their web sites). Next, the idea of having articles for adaptations is mostly handled by having spinout lists of episodes, chapters, films, video games, novels, albums, etc. - I do not believe it to be an exaggeration that we make more use of such spinout lists than even WP:TV. We have developed these lists so much, in fact, that many of them would only need production and reception information to pass for articles on adaptations, once they were brought up to about a high C or a B - this basically means that our adaptation articles are almost all in the form of spinout lists. Our MOS is written with our unique circumstances in mind, and, in my opinion at least, works quite well given those circumstances. Lastly, a significant reason we cannot support articles on adaptations everywhere they might pass WP:N is a lack of manpower - we are one of the larger projects on Wikipedia in terms of amount of content, but do a quick headcount of those of us who actually contribute to the project - discussing matters here, assessing, cleaning up, and categorizing articles, etc. - as opposed to those who simply edit articles related to their favorite series. We are, in fact, probably at a greater disadvantage than the other arts and media-related projects, considering anime and manga's ability to so strongly polarize its fanbase along so many different dividing lines. Now, to discuss the specific example of Dragon Ball GT mentioned above (especially in regards to the comment alluding to reliance on eventualism), let me point out that at the time it was merged/redirected to Dragon Ball, the article had existed since August 2003 (just shy of 5 years) without ever progressing beyond a largely-unreferenced, frequently vandalized, start-class article lacking any type of production or reception information. This is one of the foremost reasons requests to resplit it are refused, not because of some hidden deletionist agenda. -- Dinoguy1000 ( talk · contribs) as 67.58.229.153 ( talk) 20:20, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
I think part of the reticence to have article for adaptation is that it can be perceived as a "carte blanche" for more spin-out which is something we don't want at all. Another point is can we spin-out adaptation article without degrading the quality of the original article? Last point that no one gave a sane answer yet is what do we do with the other medias meaning Drama CD, Web Radio show, etc.... Do we cover it in the anime article or the manga article?
My current position is that beyond main article and related lists volumes, episodes, characters & soundtracks, every others spin-out articles have to be justified with enough verified contents proving that it's worth it. You want a spin-out fine, earn it. I sick tired of editors making false promise. --

Notice the number of articles in the cats listed in Category:Anime and manga series categories. With a few exceptions, most of the categories have no more than 5 articles in them. this seems to be sort of over-categorization were practically every series with a couple of spin-out articles—usually a character, volume, and episode lists—is given it's own category. So the question is, how many articles are necessary before it is necessary to create a category for that series? — Farix ( t | c) 22:08, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Since I've seen a lot of OST talk, i was wondering if anyone could possibly check the rep-article I've done and see if anyone could help on it. Krebmarkt already provided refs with most of the soundtracks in the discussion page, unfortunately i cannot 'read' Japanese. I removed most of the CD cast and left the important ones temporarily so i could put it in prose format later and possibly remove more of it. I'll try to move the information of the infoboxes onto the opening paragraph of there respected section.
Reason why i named it "Music of Ghost in the Shell" instead of "List of Ghost in the Shell Albums" is because i thought there is information on any reception towards Yoko Kanno onto the articles (which I'm pretty positive there is). So if anyone found something like that but in Japanese, it would be great to include it. other than that, the reason why i posted it here is because i think it's ready to merge all the OST and Singles together, but I'm always self conscious about it so thought it should get reviewed first.

Brining this up because I made a request for School Rumble to have this level of assement. Problem is that it has become too quality of an article to get properly peer reviewed (it gets ignored because users are intimidated by the bredth and quality of the info), but it has failed 3 FACs because it isn't quite FAC material and the reasoning given is generally unhelpful to me improving the article. So I am wanting some help in getting it to the point to do so and to give it a level where it coud pass. This means having mutiple reviewers who know their stuff come in, ie essentially an A-class assessment. I know we don't normally allow these, but I would like to make special expections for these cases.
Note, that while SR is under the VG WP, it is a legacy link from when the video game articles were all merged and quite possibly could be removed. I do not think it would be proper to ask them for such an assement which is why I am making it here. 陣 内 Jinnai 19:50, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 32,665 as of May 16. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.
Your Project's list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Unreferenced BLPs. As of May 17 you have approximately 169 articles to be referenced, a 2.9% reduction from last week. The list of all other WikiProject UBLPs can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/WikiProjects.

Every week, the New York Times publishes a manga best seller list, seen here. Being on that list can help a manga reach its notability requirements.

This article (and really series of articles) is in massive need of attention. The main article was in really bad shape, and still is. I did a quick, rough clean up for formatting and removing some OR, but it has a ton of excessive plot, fan OR/gushing, etc. [11] It is also lacking references and seems to be split up way too much in terms of the various adaptations (many of which aren't particularly notable), while lacking in a proper episode and character list. It has few references either, despite the series being one with quite a bit of coverage [12] due to its popularity and likely the controversial nature of the story. Could be a good project for a couple of interested editors, or at least a good clean up project if someone has the time. Anyone want to take this one?

The other clip is an extended version of the first clip containing the explanation and the part where the culprit confesses(4 minutes long). Both these scenes occur regularly throughout the series. Also if clips are discouraged, I will not upload it. DragonZero ( talk · contribs) 01:59, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Just flagging this user for observation since they seem to have a habit of entering fabricated information, often in anime-related articles. I am not familiar with all the articles they have been editing, but I do know for example that FUNimation has not licensed the Live Action Negima dorama [18], and that Disney is not making a Bleach movie [19]. They also seem to be inserting random actors in anime and random anime VAs in films, although again being unfamiliar with some of the subjects I am going on the fact that most of their additions seem to have been reverted.

I have repeatedly removed a copyvio link from Ayu Mayu to the website 1000manga.com, which is either onemanga.com under a new name (given that the domain was registered a couple of months ago) or a clone of onemanga. — Farix ( t | c) 03:01, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
I have done a quick review of all of the articles proposed for deletion during the month of June. Of the 48 articles were proposed for deletion during the month of June, 5 were deleted after the prod expired, 8 were redirected, 10 were relisted at AfD (four of which were previously from the redirected group) with 4 deletes, 1 keep, 2 redirects, and three still pending leaning towards redirects. The remaining 29 were deprodded for various reasons. Of course, this probably isn't an accurate picture of whether the proposed deletion process is actually working given the disruptive mass deprodding we had over a week ago. — Farix ( t | c) 03:58, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
That here The Farewell Roundtable
Note the website & reviews will remain available for a while but no more new reviews. -- KrebMarkt 20:28, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
Down to 290 reviews. Note that this number includes only page with the Manga reviews tag and there are more to do if i include manwha reviews & editorials. -- KrebMarkt 21:00, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
From my point of view, i finished with the archiving. If you can point me where the archive should be move within the Animanga project space. -- KrebMarkt 07:30, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
Is it possible to program a bot to assign PCS archived links to the links already present in our articles with |archiveurl=
and |archivedate=
?

I tried to add Advanced Media Network to the RS list. AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) took it down saying, "that one did not have enough discussion nor was it about adding it to this lsit [ sic]". Previous discussion: here. I hope to determine whether Advanced Media Network meets WP:RS and whether it can be posted on our list of internet resources. 211.30.103.37 ( talk) 12:18, 4 July 2010 (UTC) as Extremepro ( talk · contribs)

I've been disputing a couple of the genres that were listed at Ichiban Ushiro no Dai Maō since they are not obvious. However, another editor is claiming that the work itself is the source for the genres and that it is silly the require another source that explicitly states the genre. — Farix ( t | c) 14:29, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
