Defected Girl (Doujinshi)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not pass WP:BKCRIT. As a dōjinshi manga, it was just self published, and there are no RS that shows it was especially notable in that field. Existing sources are not RS: just blog or forum pieces. Search of Japanese sources comes up with no RS. (Note that the English title is a bad translation: it should at least be "Defective Girl", though searches for that come up with nothing significant.) Michitaro (talk) 19:39, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete No evidence of notability in sources. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:03, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Doujinshi are usually not notable unless they receive coverage in reliable sources. This one is no exception. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 22:37, 22 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep The title "Defected Girl" may be wrong, but it's autor's translation (欠損少女). Looks like, that Romantic Fool doesn't speak english at the high level. But he was a creator of this manga, so he can named his creation as he want. The main character of this manga, Bikko, is very popular on the imageboards and forums. I'm the autor of the uk:Defected Girl article. This character have a lot of fans, so I think that this article should be present on the english wikipedia.

 * Whatever the title should be, the manga needs to pass basic notability criteria to have an article on Wikipedia, such as WP:GNG and WP:BKCRIT. Having some mentions on imageboards and forums is not sufficient. There must be independent, reliable sources that discuss the work in detail, or proof of notability such as major prizes. Merely saying here it has lots of fans is not proof. You must provide multiple reliable sources that show it does have significant popularity. Note that according to WP:RS, blogs and forums are not usually reliable sources. Michitaro (talk) 08:38, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Even searching using the Japanese title doesn't give me anything relevant. And the main argument for deletion here is not because it has a wrong title, it's that it has received little-to-no coverage in reliable sources, which is common to most doujin works. Being popular in forums, blogs or imageboards does not automatically establish notability. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:19, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Something to look for: Did the doujin win a notable award? Are there reliable sources covering the doujin? Even if you have the doujin win an award it still might only be worthy of a section in a larger article if possible. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:25, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, this article may be merged with another article. Silent hill Hunter (talk) 21:38, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I have some question. In this article I gave link to the only preserved chapter of this doujinshi. You can look this chapter and rank this manga. I give search result for the teg :. You may also use google images searcher. So, this doujinshi is common in the internet. Silent hill Hunter (talk) 20:34, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * First, which article would you think it might be best to merge with? Second, are you arguing that this should be an article on the character, instead of on the manga? I thought of that possibility as well, but again, while the searches show the character does exist in various places on the net, since there are no reliable secondary sources on that character that I can find, it is hard to determine just how notable this character is.

 * Ok, sorry me for waiting, I was so busy. I think, that this page may be merged with page doujinshi (in those page somebody may created section "Famous Doujinshi" Silent hill Hunter (talk) 21:22, 27 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. I am somewhat familiar with Bikko - enough to recognise her but I would struggle to name her, and while I knew she was an original character I could not have named the work she was from or even the artist. Note that while the artist has a page on the Japanese wikipedia, this doujin does not so it is not currently even considered notable in its native language. The only interwiki link we have is to the Ukranian Wiki - and the page there was created by the same user as here. As a matter of interest, there are 127 illustrations tagged ビっ子さん on Pixiv dating back to 2007. Shiroi Hane (talk) 21:20, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
