Talk:MangaGamer

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted because MangaGamer is one of the only two major active Visual Novel English localizing companies (other being JAST USA), and has published English translations of several high-profile and famous visual novels that themselves have articles on Wikipedia (Shuffle!, Higurashi When They Cry, Da Capo and Kira Kira among others). Articles itself uses three different verifiable web sites as sources (vndb, japanator and novelnews) in addition to MG own announcements --Azaghal (talk) 03:54, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Removed Controversy
I've removed the controversy section as it violates WP:NPOV and was probably written by someone who wanted to make MangaGamer look bad. There is precedent at Talk:Activision in that criticism about game releases and decisions made by a single person (in this case, Bobby Kotick) need to be on their own game article or person article. If Activision, a multi-national company, doesn't warrant having a controversy section despite being in the news several times, then MangaGamer shouldn't either.

If you wish to add the controversy about Soul Link and Koihime Musou, do it in their respective articles, not on the MangaGamer article. Samwise04 (talk) 14:48, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd just like to contest the "probably written by someone who wanted to make MangaGamer look bad" part, as it's not true. As was mentioned in the section, MangaGamer basically undid all "censorship" (quotes intentional) decisions and had the previously canceled game put back in catalog. My intention was merely to document some events that caused a great deal of discussion in their fanbase. As for the removed voices issue, their decision was referenced by Andrew Dice of Carpe Fulgur in a blog post www.carpefulgur.com/drakblog/?p=17 ( "(...) much like other niche publishers as of late, the going rate for getting the rights for the “pro” voice-work would’ve immediately turned everyone at CF into hobos." ), and I felt it was relevant. --Azaghal (talk) 19:16, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
