What is the notability here? Wikipedia is not a collection of trivia Avi (talk) 06:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: too many headings with no content MiracleMat (talk) 09:02, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Isn't that an arguement to remove the unnecessary headings, not delete the article? Here, I'll go do it now.Ig8887 (talk) 15:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * There, done. It took me, what, 10 minutes to scrub out the unnecessary headings and reorder the exact same information into a normal article stub.Ig8887 (talk) 15:27, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep: If this actually is the "longest published story in the history of any language", then it's clearly notable, regardless of how crappy the article currently is. While I'm sure that's an entirely unprovable claim, there's evidence that it has indeed been published for some time, as [|this site] allows you to buy the 45-volume printed set. An assertion of notability has been made, therefore, it's just not yet proven. The article needs cleanup and references, but it's beyond me, since most of the Google hits for the author's name and/or title are in Urdu. Ig8887 (talk) 15:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per (and I usually don't say these sorts of things, but s/he says it better than I would ) Ig8887's arguments. Though there are at least a couple manga that have been in continuous monthly publication for longer (Abu-san started in 1973, for ex), those not being prose they might not be competing. —Quasirandom (talk) 18:14, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - per Ig8887 and Quasirandom. matt91486 (talk) 18:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
