List of U.S. Shonen Jump issues

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The list is a violation of WP:NOT and is extremely trivial information at best. There is no encyclopedic propose being served by maintain a list of magazine releases and articles featured in said magazine. --Farix (Talk) 01:09, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Wikipedia is not a directory nor a card catalog of magazine issues. Collectonian (talk) 01:15, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as it stands now, it's pretty useless. What might make sense to have is a table like the ones found in car articles (Template:Kia_Motors is representative), which gives the series that have appeared in U.S. Shonen Jump, and the issues in which they have appeared. So I'd say delete, but without prejudice to recreation in a more organized and useful form. — PyTom (talk) 04:07, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * You mean, like this List of series run in Weekly Shonen Jump :) Collectonian (talk) 04:22, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Could a Merge to WikiProject Anime and manga/Magazines be considered? what's in each issue would be a useful tool for people who want to know which issue to request help with. -Malkinann (talk) 04:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't read it myself, so does it have anything more than just manga? Shojo Beat is listed because it also has articles on manga, anime, and Japanese culture. Does Shonen Jump do the same? Collectonian (talk) 04:22, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * It seems to have creator interviews, and ratings information, as well as just manga- I don't read it myself.-Malkinann (talk) 04:37, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmmm...to be useful in the project list, though, first an editor from the project has to come forth and say they have X issues, then the list of content (in a shorter summary form) would go in a subpage. Collectonian (talk) 18:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd imagine that User:Jump Guru has at least a couple lying about... I've asked him on his talk page which ones he owns. Is it normal practice these days for a bot to inform people about AfDs?-Malkinann (talk) 22:16, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Usually, depending on how its done, the creator is notified when the AfD is sent (Twinkle does it automatically). Beyond that, I believe a bot recently started running that does also notify recent or major contributers to the article, though not sure how long it takes to hit.

 * He's said on his talk page that he owns every issue from 2006 onwards. I've asked him if he'd be willing for his collection to become part of the referencing system. -Malkinann (talk) 23:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - per Collectonian's comments. iM at  th ew   20  08  11:38, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I guess delete, unless anyone feels it might be useful for WP:ANIME. -- Ned Scott 06:02, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
