Welcome to WikiProject Anime and manga, a WikiProject that aims to improve anime and manga related articles by normalizing the standards for, and expanding Wikipedia's coverage of, such articles.

[edit] Scope

WikiProject Anime and manga's scope includes all media, persons, organizations and fandom substantially related to such franchises. This includes international subjects necessary for comprehensive coverage of the core topics.

[edit] Outside the scope

Although its scope is broad, this project maintains an essential focus on anime, manga and related merchandise originally meant for consumption in Japan. This does not include works with incidental or minor association.

  • Animated or printed works produced for consumption outside of Japan that nevertheless draw on or are similar to Japanese media in terms of content or form (such as Chinese animation, Korean animation, manhwa, manhua and Western manga-styled comics such as Gothic Sports and Peach Fuzz) do not fall under our scope.
  • Media, particularly video games, in which anime or manga characters make incidental or out-of-context appearances.
  • Pre-modern manga such as Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga, their artists, and other related elements are better suited for inclusion with the Japan and Art WikiProjects.
  • Composers, bands and musicians with incidental anime or manga association, such as having only a few of their songs sung for an anime opening, do not meet this project's scope.
  • Articles on compilation albums with only a few anime or manga related tracks do not meet this project's scope.

[edit] Cleanup

Main article: Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Cleanup task force

A list of articles tagged for needing cleanup is maintained by the Cleanup Task Force. If you find an article in need of improvement (aside from simply needing expanding), and you are not able to address the issues immediately, please add it to the list there.

[edit] Requested articles

[edit] Articles for Deletion

Anime and manga articles, categories, and templates for deletion, as well as any proposed deletions, are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Anime and manga. Please go and express your opinion regarding any articles listed there. We also maintain a deletion archive of past discussions.

[edit] Article assessment

Main articles: Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Assessment and Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Peer review

WikiProject Anime and manga has a fully fledged assessment department. This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Anime and manga articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The peer review process exposes articles to closer scrutiny from a broader group of editors, and is intended for high-quality articles that have already undergone extensive work, often as a way of preparing a featured article candidate.
