Scramble-b!

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

No reliable third-party sources could be found to establish notability. Also fails WP:BK. Original prod was disputed by an IP editor. Farix (Talk) 02:43, 8 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, unnotable, unlicensed series. Article can't even give info on serialization, volumes, etc. Unlisted in Anime News Network as well. Fails WP:BK and does not meet the additional criteria allowed at WP:MOS-AM of being "licensed by at least two publishers outside of Japan." either. -- -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 03:03, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Per ja.wiki (which article's existence suggests that in the country of origin there's some notability) the series was collected in 4 volumes, and followed by a 3-volume sequel which seems to be the story continued. That's not exactly a flash in the pan. Withholding actual !vote to see if I can't find more information supporting notability. —Quasirandom (talk) 03:46, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't gauge the notability of any article based on the existence of an article on another language Wikipedia, per WP:OSE and WP:ININ. For one, the English Wikipedia has much higher standards for inclusion then other languages. ---Farix (Talk) 04:06, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but if said international entry has solid references (I can't tell because of a lack of Japanese language skills) that would be a good reason to keep it. - Mgm|(talk) 12:26, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, not great referencing. Going by machine translation, the article on the first series has more plot summary than anything, and for the sequel series little more than a stub list of characters. This in addition to basic publication info, that is. —Quasirandom (talk) 15:03, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Further research discovers that in addition to the 3-volume sequel, there's a second 1-volume sequel plus a 1-volume sidestory -- in total nine volumes of monthly serial numbers (in Ciao), which suggests ... something. Have not yet anything that fits the letter of the law, though. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:50, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * If there's evidence that demonstrates the letter of the law of notability, I'm not finding it. If I were finding hints aside from what I've already cataloged, I might argue for a keep anyway, but the above on its own isn't enough to make me confident the solid evidence exists. A reluctant delete without prejudice for recreation if reliable sources come to light. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:57, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
