Talk:Azur Lane

Ship List
I initially created the ship list in this game, and it was regarded as inappropriate contents then deleted by an administrator.

I hereby restore it partially again, since the article Kantai Collection contains full ship list, I don't think it is inappropriate to post again. --Iqeqicq (talk) 15:36, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

If someone still has opposite views toward ship list, please refer to VGSCOPE. The ship list I wrote is just simply introduce different types of ships.--Iqeqicq (talk) 15:44, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Seconding Iqeqicq's view; Additionally I'd be willing to add the ships added since his list if it is approved again. Chiakiiis (talk) 03:14, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

I'm against adding full ship list, unless the whole list is collapsible and by default collapsed. Since 'list of characters lacking secondary sourcing' is deemed inappropriate in VGSCOPE, and also such a long list would potentially dispel people from reading the rest of the article. I've created a character section with cited brief introductions. If anyone could find English/Japanese/Chinese language source about the characters, that is not AL wiki (open wikis are not acceptable in Help:Introduction_to_referencing_with_Wiki_Markup/4), please add them in this section. Thanks. Tsumikiria (talk) 06:45, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Adding a full ship list that is collapsible (collapsed by default) sounds good enough. flixwito ^(•‿•)^ 10:24, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Citations Template
I have overhauled the page, added detail, a few new sections and provided inline citations in each of the sections, except for the plot and settings section, where I cannot find referrable sources other than AL wiki (azurlane.koumakan.jp), since referencing guide says open wikis are not acceptable sources. Please consider the article citations needed template removed, and only add the template to plot and settings section, if necessary. Thank you. Tsumikiria (talk) 02:41, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

There is an OVA Episode of Slow Ahead.
I have no idea that this episode even existed after I thought this show is finished, but apparently I did discover a video on YouTube that it says Azur Lane: Slow Ahead - Episode 13, and that it was an original video animation, released straight from Blu-ray. Already I have added information about that new episode, but information for me is limited, and there are some missing lines such as the translation of an English title to Japanese, the literal translation, the writer & director (I'm Filipino and I cannot understand Japanese), and also I do not know when that episode was actually released. It was said that the full episode was uploaded on YouTube on July 11/12, 2021 so it is my only estimate. So that needed more info, and some verified citations, otherwise my edit can be undone someone thinks that it was never meant to be added here (because it might be secret or it probably has a reason why I didn't know that existed maybe 1 or 2 months or it was not officialt released; spoiler avoidance policy) ROBLOXGamingDavid (talk) 08:15, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

“Inappropriate” content
Despite users and fans obviously making internet pornography of the Azur Lane characters, the official game itself has many suggestive content, especially the “skins/costumes” on some characters. Should we add something like that? I’m not sure if there is specific references to users having such opinions Edskiash (talk) 06:32, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

A section detailing the outright removal of 18 characters because of sexual themes and the controversy that arose was added and then deleted. I think that was infinitely more relevant to the article than the current Controversy section about Ai Kayano is considering how there is only a single footnote about the controversy on her own article. That being said, editing the articles of games I actually play leaves a bad taste in my mouth, let alone reading them. I have no motivation to look through pages of diffs to see what rationale was used to remove the coverage. 93 (talk) 08:46, 13 February 2022 (UTC)


 * I think it should be added back in. There seems to be a lot of manga devoted to Azure Lane erotica too. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:44, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * On second thought, after examining this edit that removed the content, I still think it's relevant to this article, but the sources are not reliable and better ones should be found. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:32, 16 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the diff! Apparently, NicheGamer and GamerBraves are considered "unreliable" as per WikiProject Video games/Sources (see also RS/N), while a 3rd party YouTube video is definitely a no-go. I'm going to see what I can add back with a DualShockers and boundingintocomics (RS/N) references. 93 (talk) 03:19, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
