Moonlight Lady (anime)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Show appears to fail notability requirements, which it has been tagged for since 2020. A previous PROD was removed when 2 "sources" were found and listed in the edit summary. Only 1 of those is a review, the other is a passing mention. Nothing else was found in a BEFORE. Donald D23  talk to me  13:37, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Television, Comics and animation, Anime and manga, Japan,  and United States of America.  Donald D23   talk to me  13:37, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Can't find any sources either. Despite the sources found below, I remain unconvinced that reviews by themselves are capable of establishing notability, no matter how many there are, and especially considering they are all on anime-focused websites/books/etc. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 15:54, 24 April 2023 (UTC) ; edited 01:10, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep Has a few reviews:
 * Jumpytoo Talk 20:18, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Internet Archive link to the book Snowmanonahoe (talk) 20:37, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * First review is user-generated. I'm 66% sure the second review is user-generated. The third review is not a review, just a summary. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 20:41, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't know how you are so sure they are user-generated; both Mania and Anime News Network are both listed at WP:ANIME/RS and are well-known in the anime field for their editorial oversight, particularly in Anime News Network's case. Link20XX (talk) 00:57, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I was misled by the "submit your own review" link at the bottom in the case of Anime News Network. Mania had a lot of stuff on the front on "making an account to contribute to the encyclopedia". I stand corrected (and wow, WPANIME likes the Anime News Network) . Snowmanonahoe (talk) 01:10, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Regarding your comment above, WP:GNG does not mandate that sources not specialize in a specific field, so I don't understand why matters. While there is something like that in WP:AUD, that is part of WP:NCORP, which doesn't apply to this article since it is not about a corporation. Regarding Anime News Network, while it is true that anime/manga articles frequently cite it, it is just because it happens to be really the only major English anime publication, unfortunately.

 * Keep; in addition to the above sources from Jumpytoo, I also found this review in THEM Anime Reviews, which is also a reliable source. Link20XX (talk) 01:00, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources found by other AfD !voters above. GNG is met here. Nomader  ( talk ) 16:56, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources mentioned. Pelmeen10 (talk) 20:36, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep -- sources found meet GNG and are reliable per subject matter experts. Wanting something to be covered by other types of news isn't a valid criteria for deletion. matt91486 (talk) 12:40, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Due to the reviews mentioned above. MrsSnoozyTurtle 05:19, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
