Uke (manga)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article about a role in romantic relationships (mostly homosexual) in anime and manga. This article has been tagged for cleanup for about 6 months with not much improvement, and is lacking in cited sources. Can't find anything in reliable sources that discuss the use of the term, so it appears to fail Notability's requirement for coverage in said sources. Most of the article in general appears to be original research, especially the "types of ukes" section. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 02:29, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment A search for the japanese term in Google Japan reveals: . A lot of results, but I don't read Japanese, so maybe someone can check them to see if any of them are reliable sources.--Alasdair 06:59, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment One small point but if this is deleted someone may want to consider putting Seme (manga) up for deletion as well since it is the direct counterpart to this. --70.48.108.238 19:04, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as original research. Once the original research is stripped out, it becomes nothing more then a dicdef, which I believe can be referenced to one of the Genshiken tankobon published by Del Rey Manga. --Farix (Talk) —The preceding  signed but undated.

 * Delete - the entire article is original research. There's so substantial content beyond that. Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 18:59, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - I did find some academic sources, and if it stays I can do the cleanup. Here's a link to one abstract:  Sci girl 07:55, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment:Do you have anything else. That reference did not mention the term uke at all so I don't think it will be of any use. --69.156.206.142 04:02, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That's just an abstract of the paper, not the full thing. But yeah, I'd like to see where in the full paper that ukes are discussed, as well as some more sources that discuss the term. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 04:56, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
