Hokenshitsu no Shinigami

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable manga that fails WP:BK and WP:NOTE. A search for reliable sources comes up with illegal scanlation and social media websites. Previously prodded. —Farix (t &#124; c) 13:10, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Any Shonen Jump manga is definitely notable. With a circulation around 3 million, SJ titles are at the absolute top of the industry.  To put that number in perspective, a top-tier US comic title like X-Men might manage 80,000 or so. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:44, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Being serialized in a manga magazine does not make something notable and is not a criteria of WP:BK or WP:NOTE and entire are sells figures. There are plenty of Shōnen Jump serializations that aren't notable. —Farix (t &#124; c) 17:54, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. I see no coverage in reliable sources, and I'm not impressed by the WP:BIGNUMBER circulation figures argument.— S Marshall  T/C 20:55, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep If millions of people read the manga magazine it is featured in, then it is a notable manga, by rule of common sense, as I have stated many times before. Obviously the staff at that magazine are better judges of what is notable than any of us.  If they didn't know what they were doing, they wouldn't have been around since July 2, 1968 with 2,809,362 million readers.  And obviously other magazines are not going to review what their competition carries.  Nor are the few books out there anyone has about manga, going to constantly release new updated versions, listing every notable manga series there is.   D r e a m Focus  03:50, 9 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:BK and WP:N, lacking any actual significant coverage in reliable sources. What magazine it was serialized in does not make it notable by any stretch of the imagination, nor can anyone claim how many people have read it just because how many people have subscribed to it. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 03:56, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep but combine with several of the other pages on less notable Shonen Jump series to create a list, with links to the pages for series that are notable enough to have their own pages; it would rather absurd for something to be notable without its contents not being notable enough for such a page.174.98.43.150 (talk) 20:39, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
