 * Strong keep. This is borderline speedy keep !vote.  I don't see anything wrong with this article; it compares and contrasts anime in Japan verus the child-oriented edits found here in America.  At most, there's a possible NPOV issue with the American editors, but that's easily fixable.  What, exactly, is the problem with this article that mandates deletion rather than improvement?

 * Keep The article does have a few issues (such as the NPOV mentioned by Celarnor), but that's probably fixable, and certainly not grounds for deletion. B figura  (talk) 01:29, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: To those not familiar with the subject, 4kids is on the extreme end of the editing spectrum (i.e, most mean edits per anime they do) and is the primary editor for your Saturday morning cartoons, thus making them the most notable and the most covered here. I think, if there's any POV issue here at all, that it not inherent to the article, but only because a lack of people siding with 4kids et al editing the articles, which is easily fixable by any WP editor.

 * Keep' the coatrack issue can be fixed, although I couldn't take it upon myself to do so. This is a valid article topic. JuJube (talk) 03:24, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep I'm not particularly familiar with the subject, but if it is indeed a coatrack against the American companies, that can be fixed. This appears to be a rather notable topic. Maxamegalon2000 05:11, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep as there have been plenty of articles written on this subject in a variety of reliable sources. POV issues can be dealt with on the talk page of the article itself. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep I can see how this article has multiple issues, and it certainly will not be easy bringing it up to standards. However, we need to distinguish between content issues and the article's topic. And so far, I have not seen any argument, especially not in the nomination or on the article's talk page, why the topic shouldn't have an article on Wikipedia. --Minimaki (talk) 12:54, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep I see how the article has issues and it has a long way to go, but I can't see any logical reason to delete this when all it needs is a bit of hard word to get back up to par.--Mifter (talk) 13:56, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per above; bias seems to be the main issue, and that can easily be fixed. As minimaki pointed out, there don't seem to be any issues about the subject per se, as it easily seems to be notable.  Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:34, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Can we have an anime representation of a snowball rolling down Mount Fuji and getting larger as it moves?  Mandsford (talk) 20:58, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd rather see Wikipitan rolling a snowball. —Quasirandom (talk) 01:00, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep It's not the best article (not that I knew that when I nominated for featuring). Pretty much all that there is to say about keeping this has been said. MalwareSmarts (talk) 22:57, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. This is actually pretty good, and much better than I could've written on the (notable) topic. --Gwern (contribs) 22:57 25 March 2008 (GMT)
