The result was Draftify. I'm also going to create a redirect to Osamu Tezuka. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:39, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Story manga

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Neologisms, unsourced, and very likely full of original research. A search for of this term doesn't even bring up any mentions that predates this article, thus WP:CIRCULAR. —Farix (t &#124; c) 14:20, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Just to note that I see there are references on the Japanese wiki article (I didn't check the Korean page) -- and those are readable by non-Japanese readers using Gtranslate... Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:42, 17 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete original research, already covered by the main manga article, including the Komawari sequencing of how to read the panels. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:33, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep many references in books and academia which credit Tezuka as the originator of a form of manga (comics) which are more story-oriented and visual as opposed to newspaper strips and text-heavy American comics:
 * Dreamland Japan: "the manga that I discuss in this book are almost all what are called 'story manga' in Japan. These are narrative manga... [The format] is what makes Japanese comics so different from those in other countries"
 * Manga in America: "story manga tell a continous story over a large number of pages"
 * Manga: An Anthology of Global and Cultural Perspectives: "Manga narratives are derived from Tezuka Osamu's innovative 'story manga
 * Manga : 60 Years of Japanese Comics: "Osamu Tezuka ... originator of story manga"
 * "The first Japanese Manga magazine in the United States": "Another factor that contributed to the popularity of manga in Japan was the development of 'story manga,' a serial of comic strip consisting of a dozen frames, in contrast to a one-frame manga."
 * "Opening the Closed World of Shōjo Manga": "Tezuka pioneered the 'story manga' format by applying a so-called 'cinematic' method" Opencooper (talk) 19:38, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Is there a way to add those sources into the article? The way it is presented, it is still an essay and seems redundant to the main manga article, like it doesn't need to be split off from the main. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 16:06, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I think based on the fact that it has references, but no one to integrate them into the body of the article, that it should be pushed into Draft, and this be redirected to Osamu Tezuka as one of his coined terms. The term is not present in either the Manga article or the History of Manga article, but since it's all about Tezuka's perspective, that would be the most helpful. However, even the Tezuka article does not say "story manga" either, so that would need to be tweaked. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:13, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Incubate As described by AngusWOOF, it seems to be mostly related to Osamu Tezuka and outside of history concerning him it's almost never used. The Japanese Wiki article for the term also pretty much just talks about Tezuka. Could also be merged to his article. Mr. Magoo (talk) 04:35, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Incubate I don't see a reason for deletion if someone is willing to improve it up to standards. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:04, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
