Akuma to Love Song

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

A contested proposed deletion, this article does not show why this manga is notable according to WP:N or WP:BK. A CSE search primarily brings up scanlation sites, but no information on licensors. Malkinann (talk) 02:17, 7 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Aside from the audio adaptation, which does not seem to be notable in the way that WP:BK asks, and having some volumes reach the lower ends of the manga best-seller list (as in, never cracking the top 20), there's not much to substantiate the notability here. I had thought it had been licensed in France or Italy, but apparently my neurons are firing about some similar series, as I'm not finding any record of it. Will poke about some more tomorrow, but it's not looking good for this one. —Quasirandom (talk) 04:02, 7 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I think you're thinking of Akuma na Eros? --Malkinann (talk) 05:30, 7 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Maybe the July release of Hana to Akuma in France by the dreaded Panini Comics? --KrebMarkt (talk) 05:52, 7 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I think the Flower & Demon thing may be it. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:05, 7 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep I refined the search to be "Akuma to Love Song" -download -scanlations -"read online" -scans -scanlator and thus removed the illegal sites you can read it online or download it.. Dragons Anime has a review, as do others.  D r e a m Focus  04:12, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The Dragons Anime does not appear to be reliable -- looks like two guys with a blog with no particular recognition among anime/manga reviewers. OTOH, one of the links in that search is a review by MangaEs, the Spanish equivalent of ANN -- which if we don't actually list as a reliable source reviewer, we ought to. That makes one review -- we need multiple. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:02, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:04, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete 10-ongoing series by Tomori Miyoshi ja vol. 1 ja vol. 10, serialized in Shueisha Margaret with some promotional voice comics (vomic) adaption released. No licensor found in French, German, Italian & Spanish. Available reviews are from fansites, blogs & forums thus can't be used to assert the notability of that work. This series fails both the General Notability Guideline and the Specific Book Guideline thus should be deleted. --KrebMarkt (talk) 19:09, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
