By the Sword (manga)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unnotable manga series. Fails WP:BK. No significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources. PROD removed by IP under claim of "Translated into multiple languages, published in multiple countries", however this is not a standalone notability criteria. No significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources. Only minor blip found was a very brief mention that ADV edited the manga release to remove nudity, and even then a big deal wasn't made about it. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 13:22, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment. The really common phrase for a title makes it hard to find the relevant g-hits, but your searches don't seem to have been very complete: here's one solidly reliable review, plus 1, 2, 3 of uncertain or marginal reliablity, even aside from a fair number of reader reviews for such a short series, and that's just a very quick search (not even close to comprehensive) in English only. Foreign reviews also need to be consulted. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:32, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, that's two reliable sources (AnimeFringe is, but the the other two are not). If its just two, though, that's still not much. Will leave foreign language searching to others, but meanwhile, hope that means someone will be fixing this up. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 14:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
