 *  Delete Weak Keep Fails WP:BK and WP:N. While is has been licensed in some other countries, it appears to have not made much of a splash anywhere. Only one review found for those counties, a French one. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 18:42, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Change to weak keep per one more foreign source found. Now passes WP:BK even if just barely. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 20:02, 13 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Humm. Kagome Kagome a 3 vols series by Toshiki Yui. Was licensed in France, Germany & Italy by the worst publisher possible Panini Comics. As mentioned by Collectonian there is one a French review and there are also German reviews animepro.de and splashcomics.de. I'm tossing the hot potato to our German reviews expert before making a definitive opinion but Panini Comics is know for releasing lame & bland series on a print, sell and ditch basis, that series fells right into that spot. --KrebMarkt 19:29, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Both of those [ETA: meaning both the German references] are, or at least should be, reliable sources, though I don't know if this has ever been officially confirmed. Not exactly glowing reviews (compared unfavorably to the author's more erotic Kirara) but still reviews. I more or less agree, but that's neither here nor there. With three reviews internationally, though, I think we have something that passes WP:BK by the skin of its glossy front cover. Keep, barely. Pity it wasn't someone better at this than Panini. —Quasirandom (talk) 00:44, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Panini Comics is the publisher which put an incongruous and Big "Spiderman" figurine in their stand during the anime/manga Japan Expo that how much they care about manga, just a segment of the Comics market that can generate profit. --KrebMarkt 07:57, 13 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I found an entry for this series in the French Dico Manga, again not something rejoicing to read. Pulling those German and French reviews together make this one pass WP:BK #1 thus Keep. However i'm clearly not moved to develop more this article after reading those reviews. --KrebMarkt 07:57, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - it doesn't set the critics afire, but nonetheless passes WP:BK#1. --Malkinann (talk) 19:52, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep A notable series from a notable manga creator. It has reviews in different languages.   D r e a m Focus  06:14, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
