Slow Step (Kaou Mizui manga)

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

This is pretty much the definition of a non-notable subject. The article is on a single-volume hentai compilation, it is not by a notable author, it has never been published outside of Japan, and there's nothing to say about it beyond basic bibliographic information. I've checked for sources, none exist, and the article was originally created for the sake of disambiguation with another series with a similar title (it now has a better hatnote, so this is unnecessary). The page does not technically meet any WP:CSD, however. I've listed it here rather than via proposed deletion as I believe it has a good chance of being WP:SNOWed. --erachima talk 07:29, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. My search fu finds no sign that this meets any criteria of WP:BK. I did get a hint that there may be a Chinese language edition, but not enough of one that I'm confident of it, and certainly nothing reliable enough to count it as verified -- and even if true, it'd be only one other publisher outside of Japan. —Quasirandom (talk) 02:49, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Searching out the author's Japanese name (瑞井鹿央) yields some possibly-useful results if you really wanted to make an article about him and his stuff, since one of his later compilations was a best-selling H manga and he's apparently done some visual novels and whatnot. I'm personally not big on writing pages just because we can though, and the lack of coverage we have of any related topics (i.e. Comic Rin, or the publisher, or pretty much anything else a page on the guy could conceivably be linked from) means we'd basically just be tossing an orphaned page into the database for no reason. --erachima talk 10:38, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as there doesn't seem to be any evidence of meeting WP:BK. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:07, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
