Neon Alley

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Per WP:CRYSTAL. There's no reason to think that this would be notable after it came out. Maybe it will be and it can have an article then. Not now, though. &mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 00:14, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

 * If what the article says is true and this service is being created by VIZ Media another possibility could be to add a small section on the VIZ article are redirect this there.--70.49.81.140 (talk) 02:01, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

*Comment As nominator, I think a merge is appropriate, and will withdraw my nomination in favor of that outcome. It didn't occur to me last night, for whatever reason.&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 13:22, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect or merge to Viz Media. Not notable but there may be some salvageable content. – Allen4names (IPv6 contributions) 07:57, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to Viz Media. A service that has yet to be launched, which has not yet received enough coverage, or mere announcements, probably shouldn't have its own article just yet. If after Neon Alley has been launched and more reliable sources cover it, then would be the time to spin off an article. But not now. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:55, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The only thing here is a press release of a product announcement, Wikipedia is WP:NOT a bulletin board of product announcements.  Unscintillating (talk) 04:03, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Striking !vote.  Is this nomination withdrawn?  Unscintillating (talk) 04:08, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think the article should exist, but I would support a merge. If that means withdrawing it, I will, but I don't think I can !vote merge as nominator.&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 04:17, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:NOT says, "Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors." which would seem to apply to content, but later a conflicting sentence says that such topics can be merged to preserve the content. There is the issue of the WP:DUE prominence of the material in the target article, and also the notability of the announcement itself.  I think we can agree that the world at large has no interest in the announcement as an announcement, i.e., The announcement of Neon Alley by Viz Media.  A further sentence at WP:NOT says, "Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content."   IMO, it is impractical to write about this topic even in the context of Viz Media without having material that is both ephemeral and promotional.  Unscintillating (talk) 13:00, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, you're right, and I was right in nominating. I'll let it run.  Editors can request userfication if the outcome is delete and see whether or not it'll stand in the Viz Alley article.  Sorry to waffle.&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 13:38, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'm unstriking my delete !vote. Also, a related discussion has arisen at WT:NOT, FYI.  Unscintillating (talk) 18:54, 4 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Redirect to Viz Media, a merge is not good as per User:Unscintillating as the info is promoting, but since this is a possible search term for Viz my opinion is to make a redirect out of it. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:15, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
