Moved from page

I've moved this sentence from the page to talk:

Romactic Comedies are also usually the subject of Ken Akumatsu's manga.

This was a single sentence paragraph, without a good connection to the article, and overly specific to one person. Perhaps a section of people who's work has been primarily romantic comedy, or influential to the genre, could be added at some point, but for now this sentence would be better in an article about the artist in question.  siroχo 22:24, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter, as not many people would classify Ken Akamatsu's manga under romantic comedy anyway. While his manga has some of the elements of a romantic comedy, the focus on the male protagonist and the potential pairing of multiple girls makes it falls into the genre of harem anime. --ColourBurst 04:41, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge

I have suggested a merge into this article of the concept of Meet cute. Its usage appears to be soley in connection with romantic comedies. I would appreciate comments either in support or opposition. Mallanox 00:54, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article was tagged for 1 month, no opposition. Merge carried out. Mallanox 00:18, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that the articles should have been merged until romantic comedy film had been developed more. At the very minimum, a history or treatment as good as that at screwball comedy. "Meet cute" is a device, but not specific to romantic comedy film, nor necessary to it; "grand gesture" should get equal treatment. → (AllanBz  14:33, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately...

The article now appears to be more about "meet cute" than about Romantic comedy films in general. AnonMoos 09:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Added 'Pretty Woman' to list of RomComs

Sorry, but I had to. It was just silly that it wasn't there considering it's like the Queen of Romantic Comedies in the modern era. 24.60.66.216 (talk) 02:46, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
