Wikipedia's notability[edit]
At Wikipedia "notability" means that third party, reliably published sources have discussed the subject in depth. There is no evidence that any reliably published sources have discussed the subject at any depth. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:40, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
Third party published sources have discussed the character. Multiple Japanese encyclopedic books have featured articles on Orga, and he has been featured in an American comic series. Just because you personally have never read about him in a third-party source does not make him non-notable. Deleting the page serves no purpose at all. Nobody wants this page deleted except you apparently. Perhaps to placate you I just need to include one of the many books that mentions Orga on the page. - The King of the Monsters (talk) 03:45, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you providing that information. However, neither WorldCat nor Googlebooks nor amazon shows any evidence that that book exists. Do you have any other of those sources that you can provide? or can is there something in the citation that needs to be corrected?
- also please stop making assumptions and accusations about other editors motives and stay focused on discussing how policy and the reliably published sources should be applied to article content -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 04:15, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
- The book, being a Japanese book, is predominantly mentioned only on Japanese sites. If you are still skeptical, then read the official webpage about the book from the actual publisher or the the book's listing on the Japanese Amazon.com. Also, I am not "making assumptions" about your intentions, I was merely asking for a valid reason for deleting the page over and over again and dismissing any evidence I provided as "unreliable." I apologize if I came off that way. I can understand flagging the page, but not just deleting it without consulting or discussing with any other editors first. - The King of the Monsters (talk) 19:55, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, with the actual Japanese title the publication has been verified. see the edits from yesterday where I incorporated that into the citation. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 20:39, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
