Hajime No Ippo: New Challenger

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

Everything within this article is covered in the original article (See:Fighting Spirit (manga)) if anything it's basically just a copy and edit job the only things changed within this is the episode count, voice cast and Staff. Afkatk - The Mind Reader (talk) 18:24, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge to Fighting Spirit (manga). There was no need to bring this to AfD though.  You could have just, like, MERGED it, or at least thrown up a "suggested merge" and/or a prod.  Pretty much the merge would just involve an update on the infobox for now, I'd think.  Maybe spin this back out later if there's a good reason to.  159.182.1.4 (talk) 18:33, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Well for one it's a useless article so I'd feel a delete was necessary hence bring it into AfD. Afkatk - The Mind Reader (talk) 18:50, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * As a title of a sequel series, a redirect is more appropriate than deleting altogether, so a reading can find the info they're looking for. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:10, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I think you miss my point. True, the article (in its current form, mind you) is redundant.  I'm saying AfD is the nuclear option.  You could have just 1) merged the infobox into the main series article, and then 2) redirected.  It would have been all over in under 5 minutes (unless contested and reverted).  Now we have to go through a formal 5-day AfD process.  See WP:BEFORE. 159.182.1.4 (talk) 19:16, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment This article is dedicated to the New Challenger, which according to the inbox started in January 2009. Since it had some of the same characters, the information and pictures of those characters was copied elsewhere.  Not a lot of information added though, since the series is apparently very young.  Perhaps a redirect to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_Spirit_(manga) until there is enough information to warrant an article of its own.   D r e a m Focus  19:18, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect/Merge to Fighting Spirit (manga). Per anime/manga MOS, should all be covered in one article as it is not significantly different from the primary work. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 19:22, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge information about air dates, theme music, lead director, animation studios, and etc. to Fighting Spirit (manga). Character summaries should be left to the list of characters. I'm disheartened to find that Fighting Spirit (manga) doesn't contain anything about the anime beyond an episode list. This should be corrected following the pattern seen at Shugo Chara!. --Farix (Talk) 20:46, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge as per project consensus in Wp:MOS-AM Dandy Sephy (talk) 04:06, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge One centralized article for an overall coverage and as many spin-out article as necessary and no more. We don't need duplicated information. --KrebMarkt 09:01, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
