Kamehameha dragon ball

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable game feature. 25,000 hits on Yahoo and 122,000 on Google--but most of them are YouTube, fansites and cheatsites. HangingCurveSwing for the fence 02:42, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Dragon Ball or delete. I would say redirect to a list of DB attacks, but I don't see where such a list exists. This is actually sort of a tricky thing here. This is one of those things that I would say is incredibly well known, but lacks any reliable sources that focus on the attack alone. Like HangingCurve said, there's a ton of fansites that talk about this but not a huge amount of reliable sites. What I have found, focuses on the series in general or on specific characters but not specifically on the attack.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:57, 1 January 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79
 * Redirect to Dragon Ball or delete per above. Wikipedia is not a game guide. J I P  &#124; Talk 08:33, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. This isn't a plausible redirect title and lacks significant mergeable content. As for whether a future, useful article could be created, that's a bit tougher. It's a very borderline case, as while it's a significant enough element of a major series that the sources should exist, good information for these things is tough to track down due to the language barrier, and it can probably be effectively covered between Dragon Ball and Goku anyway. --erachima talk 19:17, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect to List of Dragon Ball video games Redirecting a video game term to an article that is about the series in general is not the best idea here in my opinion, if this is from a certin game or group of games then I would say redirect to that but I am unsure of what article that would be. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:42, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Its not a video game term, it was an attack often used by Goku the main character from the Dragonball manga which all the video games were based on. Obviously, several video games based on the manga incorporated this attack since Goku was in most if not all of the games but it was not itself a video game term and was used in the manga first. If we are going to redirect this it will need to be somewhere else.--70.24.207.225 (talk) 05:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - JP Wikipedia does have a stand-alone article, but only under the structure of an extensive list of DB signature moves. This EN article is poorly written, and without a list of DB attacks for redirection, is pointlessly orphaned. The JP Wikipedia article contains some trivia but it would be a waste of time to bring any of it to EN Wikipedia. This EN article in its current form is only worth deletion.

 * Comment. The reason given for deletion is incorrect. This article is not related to game solely. It is an article related to Manga(and anime). This article could be useful if expanded. It could link to various articles related to Dragonball since it is really notable attack in the series and (I think) it should have an article. However this article in its present form is not suitable for an encyclopedia. It should be either re-written or deleted until a better version of this article is created . I would like to know if there is any objection to the topic of article-"Kamehameha"- since I may end up creating this article again in future. trunks_ishida (talk) 12:30, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
