Known for the manga adaptation of Cowboy Bebop, but not sure if any of Nanten's other works are notable (11 or so in MADB?) or if even the manga is that notable. Recommend redirect to Cowboy Bebop page. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 18:33, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. The article section Cowboy Bebop explains that Cowboy Bebop is a 1998 anime, adapted in 1997–98 into a manga by Cain Kuga and then into a second manga in 1998–2000 by Yutaka Nanten. The manga is being republished this year. I notice the manga series is not notable enough for an article (except for a list of chapters). I notice first manga artist is not notable enough to have their own biography article. As the reliable sources remain thin, I see that this second manga artist is also not notable enough for an article, especially one that is only one sentence long and completely unreferenced. The anime is of course notable, this biography is definitely not. Prhartcom (talk) 14:39, 27 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete I think eight years is more than enough time for the article to expand and demonstrate notability. That it hasn't, seems to say it all. Ja.Wiki has a better article in so much that it summaries all their works at a glance compared to the understandably convoluted nature of MADB, but aside from a 7 volume and a couple of 2-3 volume series most of their works seem to be one-shots.
