List of Story of the Alps: My Annette episodes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not a notable anime series, fails WP:GNG as unsourceable. Article is sourced entirely to a unreliable source - a website similar to Imdb. a brief WP:BEFORE has not revealed enough any reliable sources to rescue it with. Dysklyver 22:11, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * , are you intending to nominate only the list of episodes, or do you intend on nominating the series itself as well? It reads like you intend to delete the article on the series, but you've nominated the episode list. Primefac (talk) 22:30, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I have not figured out how to include multiple articles in the AfD yet, but yes I am trying to do both. Dysklyver  22:36, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Cool. I added the series here, as I see you've put up the AFD notice on the page. Primefac (talk) 22:40, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - "Unsourceable"? Did you search in Japanese? I easily found an entry in Daijisen (a major reference work in Japan published by Shogakukan) on the series, which not only describes it as an entry in the famous World Masterpiece Theater but also notes it won an award from the Agency for Cultural Affairs of the Japanese government. Since it was broadcast in 1983, there are not going to be too many articles about it on the net, but it is covered in books like this and this and in other work on Nihon Animation. The show was broadcast nationally in prime time on the Fuji TV network. Michitaro (talk) 07:30, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment - An admin might want to add Story of the Alps: My Annette to this now multiple AfD discussion. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 11:59, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Already done. Primefac (talk) 12:04, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Since it won an award from a government agency that would make it pass WP:GNG. This one is going to be hard to improve upon as most sources I feel are going to be from books written on the subject. The article over at ja:wiki might have some good sources but we need someone who can read and understand Japanese like Michitaro so the article can be better improved. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:39, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep in view of the Japanese book sources identified above as this subject is pre-internet and the book sources are reliable sources Atlantic306 (talk) 00:18, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep there is no need for sources to be currently available online, or to be in English, to meet GNG. I have no opinion whether the episode list should be merged into the article or left on its own, but it is inherently useful to readers. Newimpartial (talk) 13:32, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge back to Story of the Alps: My Annette. If no descriptions are being planned for the episode list, then it can fit back to the main article. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 16:35, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
 * , there were descriptions, but they were deleted as being rather horrible summaries. I'm not saying that it should be kept blank, but it's a recent change that possibly hasn't had time to receive a proper update. Primefac (talk) 16:50, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge no reason to have a separate list of episodes here. I suspect there are references for the show itself, but don't see any on other-language Wikipedia articles and can't read Japanese well enough to find them myself. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 19:35, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep main article, merge episode list to the main article - While the anime is old, it's notable for having won at least one award, as mentioned above. The episode list probably doesn't need to be separate, though.
 * Nom Comment I would generally go with merging the episode list with the main article and keeping it, adding some references whilst doing so would be useful. Dysklyver  15:09, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
