Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Collaboration of the Week/Removed

Removed nominations for Anime and Manga Collaboration of the Week. The order they are in is the order they were removed, with most recent removals first and the least recent removals at the bottom of the page.

4Kids Entertainment
Nominated on 23 September 2006; Failed to gain enough votes to be reinstated or given AMCOTW status; Removed on 7 October 2006.


 * Reason :
 * This article needs attention because the following things are wrong with the page:

Criticism and controversy is a mess. Most of the section needs a complete rewrite and is unstable. An anonymous user is trying to excise a huge chunk of info without giving a valid reason as to why it should be edited (in his words "Link to the article in the external links section") when it should be intergrated into the section itself. Examples of 4Kids edits is rife and a target for fancruft and needs to have several firm examples. No corporate history. It needs a fresh set of editors to bring this article, no matter how hated the company is, to being stable and neutral.

Life (manga)
Nominated on 20 September 2006; Failed to gain enough votes to be reinstated or given AMCOTW status; Removed on 7 October 2006.


 * Reason :
 * This article needs attention because the following things are wrong with the page:

The article itself is very, very vauge and barren. Not only is it currently missing a plot synopsis, but the writing is lacking in details about the story. For example, the characters section is very short and barely explains the said topic. In addition to this, much of the information is wrong and/or unimportant.

Guardian Angel Getten
Nominated on 14 August 2006; Reinstated once but failed to gain enough votes to be reinstated again or given AMCOTW status; Removed on 19 September 2006.


 * Reason :
 * This article needs attention because the page lacks many sections such as episode and music sections. The article could do with several images and an expanded plot section. Some character descriptions are too short, also.

 * Comment :
 * Considering that this series was never released in R1 it will be far more difficult to flesh out the article. I'd rather see work done are articles that have been released in R1, than an obscure title. Elmer92413 04:42, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Kiddy Grade
Nominated on 24 July 2006; Failed to gain enough votes to be reinstated or given AMCOTW status; Removed on 8 August 2006


 * Reason :
 * This article needs attention because the following things are wrong with the page:
 * All textual information is copied from external sites.
 * Most textual information is copyright.
 * All if not most text is only understood by those who have watched the show, there is no real coherence.
 * Insufficient information.
 * Major information missing.

What is REALLY needed is feedback, mainly as the article has a small following.

Nightwalker
Nominated on 23 June 2006; Failed to gain enough votes to be reinstated or given AMCOTW status; Removed on 8 July 2006


 * Reason :
 * This anime had 12 episodes and was based on a hentai game. Many info can be still added as I listed in the article's description page, and some sections would look better if split in 2. I believe that with some help the article could be considered complete, since the basic sections are already all there. I created it and added all I could, but help would be highly apreciated.

List of anime
''Nominated on 13 June 2006; No substantial problems were actually cited. Removed on 3 July.''


 * Reason :
 * I know, right now you're thinking "huh? That's not even an anime" but let me state my point. Part of the problem with our past collaberations is that, often times, they're on anime most of us have never seen before, so the page can't really improve much. My goal with nominating List of anime is that EVERYBODY can contribute to this one, with no excuse. I think if we pool our efforts, we should be able to create a very near-complete list that conforms to a set style throughout. Plus, if we can get a complete list to see what all anime we have missing, so much the better for expanding outwards further.

 * Comments :
 * No list will ever be complete. But exactly what is wrong with the list that needs to be fix? If you can't give one, then the nomination will have to be pulled. --TheFarix (Talk) 21:27, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * SeizureDog didn't say there's anything wrong with the list. He said that he thought it would be useful for everyone to contribute to the list to make it more complete. By having everyone work on it for a week, adding titles to the list, the list is that much more likely to be closer to complete. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjo e  21:53, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Ideally, I'd like to build it up to be as complete a list as, say, ANN's. Also, the consistance of titles having romaji is staggered, and the whole format would look better if we could work it into a table. In any case, I think by having CotWs that everyone can work on will help prevent those 1 KB improvements like we saw last week. Nominating lesser known titles isn't working out for us. We need to start nominating articles that either apply to anime as a whole or popular titles that 80% of us have already seen some of if want to make it an actual collaberation. As it is, the CotW doesn't seem to get more than a couple of people who were already working on it anyways. --SeizureDog 23:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)


 * To me, this is a good candidate for categorization and deletion (or just plain deletion since the titles are likely categorized already.) There was a previous list that here and that list was removed.  While a good idea... It might be good to clear redlinks or improve articles at the (more descriminating) 100 Anime list.  --Kunzite 23:45, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * A list of english dubbed anime was already started (by myself actually) then later deleted for the reason that it should be a category, not a list. The same is true, if not more true, of this complete list of anime. By clicking on the anime category at the bottom of the page, the user is brought to an automatically generated list which is far more complete than any list manually put together could be, even if it doesn't include anime that does not have an article yet...but that's what article suggestion pages are for. -Dave 18:01, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Neon Genesis Evangelion
Nominated on 13 June 2006; Was removed on 13 June as it was decided this article did not fit the WP:AMCOTW nomination requirements.


 * Reason :
 * This article needs attention because the following things are wrong with the page: In sum, the article is a laundry list of fan reactions and speculations, providing only modest overview of the topic itself. Specific issues: it contains tons of material that could be better massaged into the text, deployed in daughter articles or cut altogether as cruft; it is poorly organized; it has absolutely no citations worthy of the name and no critical reviews, not even from the DVD liner notes or merchant websites; it's too long and repetitive but with no discrete section for production issues. I'm inclined to think that a week or two's worth of collaborative googling and database-scrounging could whip this article into shape. See its peer review.

 * Comments :
 * The article is already of good quality and has a B-rating. AMCOTW is about taking nonexisting articles, stubs, or starts and turning them into B-rated or better articles, not polishing B-rated or better articles. --TheFarix (Talk) 01:43, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Is there a way to withdraw nominations, or should I just delete? Apologies for the trouble!--Monocrat 01:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Hell Teacher Nūbē
Nominated on 12 May 2006; Reinstated once but failed to gain enough votes to be reinstated again or given AMCOTW status; Removed on 11 June 2006


 * Reason :
 * There's a really good base article there right now, but it needs some serious cleanup and wikifying. There are even three sub articles to go with it. It wouldn't be a huge project, and with a little work it could be whipped into shape and possibly be a good article candidate.

Animax (TV network)
Nominated on 3 May 2006; Reinstated once but failed to gain enough votes to be reinstated again or given AMCOTW status; Removed on 1 June 2006


 * Reason :
 * The article is currently suffering from serious POV issues. There's a lot of good information, but the whole article needs serious pruning and editing to be a good article. 日本穣 Nihonjoe 17:09, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I should also mention that Animax is one of the largest (if not the largest) anime-only channels in the world. The only one that comes close to it is Kids Station in Japan. ˑˑˑ 日 本 穣 Talk to Nihonjo  ε  23:27, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Photon (anime)
Nominated on 29 March 2006; Failed to gain enough votes to be reinstated or given ACOTW status; Removed on 13 April 2006
 * Reason :
 * This article needs attention because the information provided is not very extensive. Needs pictures, plot info, more character info, episode info, etc. The problem is that it's not a very widely known anime.

Black Jack (manga)
Nominated on 26 March 2006; Failed to gain enough votes to be reinstated or given ACOTW status; Removed on 11 April 2006


 * Reason :
 * This article needs attention because there is not a lot of information in it. It could use some pictures and maybe some episode list or summaries. It could use more detail from someone who knows more about the anime/manga than I do.

Elfen Lied
''Nominated on 14 February 2006; Reinstated twice but was removed because the article had improved and did not need to be collaborated; Removed on 25 March 2006


 * Reason :
 * Incomplete infobox (no manga details), little to no references/comparisons to the manga's storyline, incomplete list of characters and in need of clean-up/reworking.

Beet the Vandel Buster
Nominated on February 8 2006; Reinstated once but failed to gain enough votes to be reinstated again or given ACOTW status; Removed on March 8 2006.


 * Reason : This article only has a little amount of character biographies that are bland at times. It suffers from lack of good information.

One Piece
Nominated on February 8 2006; Reinstated once but failed to gain enough votes to be reinstated again or given ACOTW status; Removed on March 8 2006.


 * Reason :
 * This article needs attention because this anime needs help with further summarizing the arcs of the anime as well as several links leads to nowhere.

Sand Land
Nominated on February 4 2006; Reinstated once but failed to gain enough votes to be reinstated again or given ACOTW status; Removed on March 4 2006.


 * Reason : Sand Land is a good manga that deserves as much attention as it's brother Dragon Ball series. Right now the Sand Land article suffers from a total lack of information at all.

NieA_7
''Nominated on January 13 2006; Reinstated twice but voting was suspended due to lack of a valid reason. It was not reinstated again or given ACOTW status; Removed on February 24 2006.''


 * Reason : * A Yoshitoshi ABe production which deserves a better page ...
 * Why does it need a better page, explain further so the collaboration can be deemed neccessary and then more will vote for it.

The Right Stuf International
Nominated on January 7 2006; Reinstated once but failed to gain enough votes to be reinstated again or given ACOTW status; Removed on February 4 2006.
 * Reason :
 * Okay, I'm not really saying this is a more worthy topic than Spirited Away, but the article was just created and is up for AfD and needs votes one way or the other. Besides that, it could use expansion and links from other appropriate articles. I'd prefer not to appear to be the only one who cares about it. -pfahlstrom 23:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Reason :
 * I've just gone back to this article which I created a while ago and info-boxed it. It looks a little empty and I'd appreciate some help expanding it with some character summaries or commentary on the anime. - Phorque 15:36, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
