Smash! (manga)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Search for potential sources does not turn up anything other than illegal scanlation website or false positives for an Australian anime/manga convention. Does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK. Prod disputed by article's creator. —Farix (t &#124; c) 11:34, 9 November 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment It is listed in Media Arts DB and has 18 volumes. Not sure if that means anything about notability since WP:NBOOK is different from WP:ENT. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 18:17, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete No coverage in reliable English sources and searching the Japanese title mostly yields blogs and retailers. I'm also surprised it made it past AFC with no sources. Opencooper (talk) 18:33, 17 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. In the absence of any sources or in-depth third-party coverage, this fails WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK. --DAJF (talk) 23:56, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect to Weekly Shōnen Magazine. This is a possible search term, though I do not see this series mentioned over at the Weekly Shōnen Magazine article. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:27, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
