| Related deletion sorting |
|---|
This is a list of discussions primarily on the deletion of pages related to Anime and manga. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. An archive of past discussions is maintained at the first archive (AfDs up to 2021) and this new archive (2021 and beyond).
You can help maintain the list on this page. To list a new discussion for:
- An
article:
Edit this page and add
{{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}}to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear. - A
category,
template, or
miscellaneous page:
Edit this page and add the appropriate template to the top of the list - the hidden comments contain code examples and more instructions, and specific documentation can be found at {{
cfdl}} and {{
xfdl}}. For MFD, add
{{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}}. If there are no other discussions at the time, be sure to comment out the line at the top stating that. -
WP:PROD:
Edit this page and add
*{{prodded|PageName|Date|}}to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, and replace "Date" with the date that the page was prodded. If there are no other discussions at the time, be sure to comment out the line at the top stating that.
Discussions should also be tagged by adding {{subst:delsort|Anime and manga|--~~~~}} to them, which will inform participants that the discussion has been listed here. There are several
scripts and tools available that can help automate this process.
Please note that listing a discussion on, or archiving it from, this page does not add it to, or remove it from, the main page at WP:AFD, WP:CFD, WP:TFD, etc. If you want to nominate a page for deletion, go through the process on the appropriate XFD page before adding it to this page. If you regularly nominate pages for deletion, you may be interested in using Twinkle to help automate the process.

WP:OR without independent sources, or any indication of notability. There is already a list of List of Saint Seiya characters that is unsourced. Wikipedia doesn't allow editors to make WP:INDISCRIMINATE repeated articles about the same topic unless there is evidence of WP:SIGCOV. Jontesta ( talk) 16:24, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

While this subject probably passes WP:LISTN, this page is in such a poor state that it probably can't be salvaged without nuking it and starting over. It only cites one source (which is an unreliable WP:VALNET source) and it seems to indiscriminately list characters with no semblance of objective inclusion criteria (by what criteria can Aslan and Diddy Kong be considered "superheroes"??). If this subject is to have an article, it really should be written from scratch later down the line because this page is currently entirely original research.

- Delete per nom as WP:IINFO. A lot of these are just animal characters, with no rhyme or reason. If I had to guess, some people are treating talking animals in fiction as a type of superpower? Most of these entries are unverified and there is nothing to WP:PRESERVE. Shooterwalker ( talk) 13:35, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment - I actually attempted cleaning this up some after the previous no-consensus AFD back in 2019 by removing a lot of the ones that were either completely non-notable examples (i.e., one shot characters that appeared in a single episode of a series or examples from completely non-notable franchises) or were not in any conceivable way a "Super Hero". I even tried to start a conversation on the Talk page to get further feedback and help in cleaning up, which no one ever replied to. And looking at it now, its in even worse shape and more of a complete WP:INDISCRIMINATE mess than it was then, and can't even stick to even a remotely coherent inclusion criteria.

- Move to draft and establish some real parameters for inclusion that require the animal in question to be properly identified in sources as an animal superhero. BD2412 T 21:10, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Doesn't seem to meet WP:SIGCOV and there is a lack of independent sources regarding its controversy, which would seem weird being a shotacon anime sillygirly97 ( talk) 20:44, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

The article has been flagged for notability and lack of sources since 2016. A search for sources has found nothing, I'm nominating it for lack of notability. Brocade River Poems 01:10, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
