Chobits media information
This seems to just be a listing of ISBNs and products; seems more like Amazon.com's thing at best, instead of being encyclopedic. Delete. A Man In Black 09:06, 30 May 2005 (UTC)


 * weak Keep I think this has a place integrated into an article of another name.... gren 09:16, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep
 * There is no mention of Amazon.com or any direct links to it.
 * This article contains information such as opening and ending theme songs, episode titles that are usually included in the main article for an anime article. According to the history page, it has existed since Jul 2003, so I supposed people here have agreed that it would be better to spin off this portion into a separate article, just like Chobits characters exist on a separate page.
 * It is not uncommon to mention the publishers of books. If the ISBNs offend you, and you decide to remove the ISBN identification from the article, that would make the article less convenient as a source of reference. However the article is more than ISBN, and the article is not about Amazon.com.

 * This is the sort of thing I'd be bold and delete if it were part of the Chobits article; it's raw source material, not encyclopedic information. And who said it was advertising Amazon? I was just saying that this sort of information isn't part of Wikipedia's purview; Amazon was just an example of a site that would have this kind of info. A Man In Black 09:26, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. While it is an interesting idea — if Wikipedia did not contain mention of works with non-expired copyright — that is certainly not the case for Wikipedia. It is extremely common for anime/manga articles, save stubs, to include titles listings of chapters/episodes and/or OP/ED theme songs (e.g. Naruto (manga), Bleach (manga), Mai-HiME articles... pretty much any other with enough length). If the ISBN numbers are offensive, you can remove it but you're just making the article less informative. —69.214.227.145 10:51, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - Not offensive; this is just raw source material instead of being encyclopedic comment, and seems to be more Wikibooks' thing than Wikipedia's. Looks like the consensus is going against me on this, but at least now I know. A Man In Black 03:48, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * keep; but rename, and perhaps demerge the episode list from the book list. Dunc|&#9786; 11:06, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but cleanup may be needed. This article is similar to Monty Python mediagraphy, List of Star Trek novels, List of Star Wars comic books, and other articles in which we list all of their books, CD's, TV shows, films, etc. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 11:12, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
