Patrache, a Dog of Flanders - Made in Japan

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

Non-notable documentary. Article does not assert notability using reliable, third-party sources. VG &#x260E; 08:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

''Note to people searching: Article title misspelled. Your searches should be on "Patrasche, a Dog of Flanders - Made in Japan".&mdash;Kww(talk) 04:48, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Also it's written in a very overly effusive and presumptuous style. Tadakuni (talk) 23:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:11, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into A Dog of Flanders First, the basic claim is true, that "A Dog of Flanders" is probably more popular in Japan than anywhere else. The Japanese Wikipedia uses the film described here as a source (see, if you can follow the Japanese. Reviews of the film are at a Belgian site seeking Japanese tourists and another Belgian travel site. Seems like this barely scrapes past the notability barrier, but just barely. That said, the article doesn't seem salvageable, and I'm not sure that deleting would be a bad idea, because any recreation of the article is unlikely to use any of the information in it. Merge seems like the best alternative.&mdash;Kww(talk) 01:29, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Using the misspelling, I didn't get good Google hits. I'd still merge it, but there's enough sources under Patrasche, a Dog of Flanders - Made in Japan that I couldn't argue strongly against keeping the article.&mdash;Kww(talk) 05:22, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to A Dog of Flanders, I'm just not seeing a lot of reliable sources for this documentary to stand alone, but I don't think it should be totally ignored. An ANN article does mention it briefly, including that it does look at the phenomenon of it being better received in Japan than in Belgium, but not enough to be "significant coverage". -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 06:03, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
