Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of InuYasha terms


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. The deletion argument was that the list was unnecessary and unsuited to Wikipedia. The keepers argued that the list was organised, not indiscriminate and served a useful purpose as an alternative to many stub articles. There was a clear consensus that the page should be kept and, further, in my judgement the keepers had the better of the debate. Finally, there were no overriding policy arguments that would indicate deletion against the consensus. There are deficiencies with the page but these are editorial matters so I am tagging the article for improvements. (Non-admin closure) BlueValour (talk) 01:06, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

List of InuYasha terms
Fails WP:FICT, WP:PLOT, and WP:NOT. Wikipedia is not the Complete Guide to InuYasha. Terms are already given similarly brief definitions when first mentions and in the relevant articles. Such a list is completely unnecessary. Collectonian (talk) 02:04, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Transwiki to Inuyasha Wikia-- Lenticel ( talk ) 03:33, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose Some people may want to peruse a consolidated list &mdash; see a word that they have wondered about and think "Gee, so that is what that means. I always wondered about that." or they might discover that a word had a more specific or subtle meaning than they thought. The various articles which use the words often assume that the user already knows the meaning. Even if someone has defined the word, a later editor may have removed the definition or it may no longer be co-located with the first usage in the article.

 * Oppose Consolidated lists such as these seem to be a fair compromise to having hundreds of stubs, redirects, or disambiguations. After a few quick searches, you can find at least one term (Shibugarasu) within this list does not appear within any other article, and another term (Taijiya) that redirects to a disambiguation page for the English translation of the word, but otherwise lacks a world-specific definition within other related articles. While I agree with the premise that lists like these would be unnecessary if they contained no additional information, there is unique information in this article that would first need to be merged before such a scrapping.

 * If it doesn't not appear in any other article about the series, then why even define it here? Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Maybe transwiki over to the InuYasha wiki, but I see nothing useful here. Collectonian (talk) 15:00, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Forzan: that's an argument for merge, not keep. —Quasirandom (talk)


 * Transwiki to Inuyasha Wikia. Most of these term belong to the main character and his sword. Bakuryūha does not require explanation. It is explained in the article of the character or the sword. This kind of information does not require a list.Tintor2 (talk) 16:27, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Expanding the list would be better.--88wolfmaster (talk) 17:43, 22 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose deletion: List was created due to the multiple terms for many items, people, etc. With articles not completely consistent with term use, in addition to Tessaiga vs Tetsusaiga debate, a consolidated list is necessary.--88wolfmaster (talk) 23:10, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The Tessaiga vs Tetsusaiga is over. Tetsusaiga is the only term to use.Collectonian (talk) 00:35, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Could have fooled me, considering not all traces of Tessaiga are removed (including this article). I told you guys it would not be as simple as going through all the main pages.--88wolfmaster (talk) 17:43, 22 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Still Keep per WP:SAL and the really the article should be named Glossary of InuYasha terms.--88wolfmaster (talk) 17:32, 22 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per Lists (discriminate, organized, and verifiable list). Sincerely, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 04:31, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. per Forzan Collectonian . I don't feel that it is terribly encyclopedic, but at the same time I'm a lot happier with this article than I would be with the mess of a hundred one-sentence stubs. Trusilver  23:15, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Huh, you're saying keep per the person who says delete? Collectonian (talk) 23:46, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry. Got the wrong name there. Trusilver  00:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep - while I would say that comprehension of the series is important, this list is in need of serious cleanup and trimming of unnecessary items (listing "baka" is silly). I can't see why the premise of the series can't be explained in the main article, but this is an editorial decision that is left to local consensus.
