I can not find any notability in terms of sources for this article. Looking at the Ja: Wiki page it also appears to have the same problem. Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:55, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Not notable. Title search turned up mostly porn links. sixty nine   • speak up •  01:51, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
 * It's a common term in JAV titles so that doesn't surprise me, especially as this is an eroge. That makes it hard to find pages about this work but does not necessarily reflect a lack of notability.SephyTheThird (talk) 19:39, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

 * If kept it should be moved to Boin (video game).--174.91.187.80 (talk) 23:24, 14 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Don't delete - keep, redirect, merge, draftify, userfy, whatever. We should generally err on the side of caution with this imo because eroge/visual novels are predominantly made for the Japanese market by Japanese companies so the usual trouble applies when English-speakers go look for English coverage. Searching the Japanese name seems to bring about mostly irrelevant results as "ボイン" is a very popular term. Nevertheless, coverage should exist out there for a game that debuted as the third best selling of its week.  Satellizer el Bridget (Talk)  13:30, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Coverage should exist but it doesn't, not any that I could find anyways. If you want to userfy the article to work on it then feel free to do so. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:42, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Notability can't be established if sources can't be found. If there are Japanese sources, fine, but this is about the English version of the article, and a vague statistic like being the "third best-selling game of its week" is an incredibly weak argument for establishing notability. sixty nine   • speak up •  02:09, 19 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete or Userfy. No noticeable coverage in ANN. Even the Milky production or the studios listed in the article are redlinked. Can someone check the Anime Encyclopedia? AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 20:28, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Checking the "Yellow Book of Doom" (I have the 1100pg hard copy of the 3rd edition), it is mentioned. I'm not sure it's useful for proving notability. There is no commentary offered, just confirmation it exists and a brief plot, which for a book aimed at cataloguing every title, isn't enough to give context.

 * I wish there was a place to redirect the title but I couldn't find any good target. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:46, 17 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I just saved the most recent version of the article to the Manga wikia. Going to do that for all the things up for deletion right now. http://manga.wikia.com/wiki/Boin   D r e a m Focus  21:21, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * , such moves should attribute the source per the Creative Commons license (otherwise it's a copyright issue) czar  00:04, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I know. I have information on the main page that all articles come from Wikipedia, so that counts.  Don't know how to stick it on every single page.  Since its going to be deleted anyway, so no one here should care.  The manga wikia is just to preserve articles like this.   D r e a m Focus  01:01, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
