This is a list of transcluded discussions on the deletion of articles related to Anime and manga. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting.
You can help maintain the list on this page as follows (open the edit box first):
- add a new AFD discussion (once it has already been opened on WP:AFD). Place on this page:
- {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}}
- Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. New entries go to the top of the list. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- remove a closed AFD from this page by deleting it. When doing so, list it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Deletion Archive by adding on that page:
- {{afdl|article title|deletion debate link|debate start date (ISO format)|debate end date (ISO format)}}
- remove an AFD from this page, which is not on a relevant subject, by deleting it.
Please note that adding an AFD to, or removing it from, this page does not add it to, or remove it from, the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page, before adding it to this page.
It is also helpful to:
- tag an AFD, once it is on this page, by adding to it:
- {{subst:delsort|Anime and manga}} <small>—~~~~</small>
- If you wish, you can automate this task by adding {{subst:deltab|Anime and manga}} to your monobook.js file. See Template:Deltab for instructions.
- This tag will display a note that the AFD has been listed here (in addition to the main AFD page).

- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was Delete. While a headcount alone would be a no-consensus result, the overarching issue is that the page is completely bereft of references and is more or less original research. Stifle (talk) 11:15, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Face fault (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
Basically this article is a list of unreferenced facial expressions and alike noted as found in anime productions. →AzaToth 22:22, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep but remove the lists which do nothing to contribute to an understanding of the topic at hand. This is an aspect of anime that I'm sure sources can be found for. JuJube (talk) 15:45, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- merge Looking around Category:Anime and manga terminology, There are several pages that should either be merged into this (such as sweat drop) or that it should be merged with (such as Manga Iconography)- there's quite a bit of redundancy. At the very least it needs cleanup and sourcing. but definitely not deletion. For every item that is already noted somewhere else there is another that isn't.Westrim (talk) 22:54, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete unless someone confirm the term actually exists - and that the concept is unique to anime. Even then, it would need to scrap the lists and instead actually provide some scholarly work on the development of the style to prevent the article being a dictionary definition. Doceirias (talk) 22:56, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I started this article, but that doesn't count for much since I went on to forget its existence for several years. Thanks for the notice, AzaToth. However, calling the subject a list of facial expressions reveals a misunderstanding of the concept. An expression is not a face fault; "face fault" is the established name for the popular convention of expressing shock with an exaggerated cartoony gesture. The TV Tropes article doesn't provide a reliable source but does provide a demonstration. Note the wide variety of face faults in the image.
Not being an expert in the areas of anime, cartoons, visual arts or Japanese weirdness, I don't know where to look for improvements without being bogged down by false positives. Suggestions are appreciated. --Kizor 00:36, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That image is part of the problem - except for one or two short hands specific to Japan, there's nothing in that image that seems specific to anime. Anything done in a cartoonish style would use drawings like that to expression emotions normally. I've rarely heard the term 'face fault', haven't heard it at all for a number of years, and when I did hear it it described much, much more exaggerated images than that illustration has. I'm not sure this is sustainable as anything but a footnote in the style section of either the manga or anime articles, and even then, it is genre specific. It is possible that sources could be found to describe that style, but I'm not sure it needs an article of its own, and I'm extremely unsure that this is the current term for what the article is describing. Doceirias (talk) 00:53, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Obviously a widely-used anime term, but the lack of reliable sources is a problem. I found this, which is typical of what I found from a Google search, but this needs to have been documented in reliable sources elsewhere to justify an article here. If those sources could be identified and cited, I don't see a problem keeping this.--Michig (talk) 10:23, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Referenceless OR article about a non-notable term, and the icing on the cake is that according to a quick Google, the article is likely to be wrong, as "face fault" more commonly refers to the anime cliche of "someone says something unbelievably stupid and everyone falls over in shock". The origin of the error, as far as I can tell, is that much of the article was copy-pasted from wikis with no relation to anime. Also, though the article claims that face faults are the anime counterpart to American "wild takes", the Wild takes article is dominated by a "Wild Takes vs Face Faults" comparison section and has been since its creation, casting further doubts on the subject's notability. Gelmax (talk) 11:21, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete completely unreferenced, apparent original research. If someone wants to recreate the article in the future based on verifiable information from reliable sources (should they exist) I have no problem. Guest9999 (talk) 19:07, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Erm... Am I the only person that bothered to do more than scan this article? The problem with the article is not that it's OR, it's that much of it is redundant to several pages that are sourced. Wholesale deletion is not the answer, checking to see what has been supported elsewhere (just look on Category:Anime and manga terminology) and sorting out what isn't supported is. Westrim (talk) 19:21, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Having read the article (before my original comment) a lot of it does appear to be original research, whilst a lot of the expressions mentioned do exist most of the descriptive sections are generalisations at best and in some cases just (in my experience) not accurate. That no sources have been provided to me indicated that this is more a personal essay based on someone's personal experience rather than an encycloapedia article based on reliably sourced, verifiable information. An article on the topic may be possible but given the current state of the article and the lack of reliable sources immediately available (there are a few in the category you mention) I don't think there is much to save. Guest9999 (talk) 20:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The creator was Kizor, apparently, so you would have to ask him. I agree that at least some (and probably most) of it can and should be deleted, but in my experience, voting for a deletion gets exactly that, with no checking to see if any material might be more useful, appropriate, or supported in another article. With a merge, someone has to at least look at the material. Westrim (talk) 21:41, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, the problem IS the OR, because the article may very well be incorrect. A quick Google search is enough to establish that the meaning of the term is not universally accepted, and that the version given in the article doesn't even appear to be the majority view. Heck, even the spelling of the term is far from established, because I just realized that the reason I'd never heard "face fault" before is because I've always seen it spelled "face vault", and that version gets slightly more Google hits than "face fault" although both seem to be fairly widespread. When you've got something this contradictory and poorly established about something that's basically a piece of jargon, it's hard to justify there being an article on it at all, and an unsourced, unverifiable piece of OR is a definite no-no. Something this messy can't be fixed by the discretion of individuals. And could you suggest another page that this material might fall under? It doesn't seem like Wikipedia has a whole lot of other articles about cliched cartoon physical gags. Gelmax (talk) 08:43, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- There were discussions about your first few sentences on the article's talk page, so look there. I agree with one threads conclusion that regardless of its pervasiveness, face vault makes no sense, and is more likely to be a cross-language corruption of the chosen term. Also, and to repeat myself, look at the Categories this article is a member of and particularly the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga_iconography for similar pages and info. The major problem with your OR argument is that it's looking at the article as a whole, when we should be more concerned with it's contents, at least some of which is verified on other pages. Westrim (talk) 17:35, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep and maybe rename. As other editors have said, parts of this article are already present and sourced in other articles. What this article contributes is that it has the potential to bring it all into one place. Manga iconography already exists, but manga and anime are not analogous. How about renaming to "anime iconography"? The term has been used in some reliable sources, such as this fps magazine article: [1]. Possibly there are better names. I see nothing wrong with a list as long as sources are added. These symbols are so uniform across anime - surely some sort of guidebook has been published in Japan, perhaps for the use of trainee animators? Esn (talk) 09:08, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect This type of article that we should specifically avoid creating. Although it contains a relatively short character summary, beyond that, it is simply a list of "attacks" and "powers" which don't confer any information relative to the character's role in the plot or his real world relevance. This article is more in line of what you may expect on a fansite instead of in an encyclopedia. --Farix (Talk) 16:48, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:BIO. No significant coverage and all voice roles listed are minor and secondary parts, with most characters not even notable enough to be listed in their series articles. All ELs links are standard directory links in which almost every voice actor of any licensed series appears. Wikipedia is not a directory and it is not not a mirror of ANN, IMBD, or any other voice actor directory listing and this list does nothing more than replicate what those site have. Without reliable sources or significant coverage anywhere about this person, it is likely that this article will never more than it is now.

- Keep/Merge Ideally this and List of Magical DoReMi characters should be one article. There's no need for deletion just because the page is horribly written, it's a valid spinout article as with any other list of characters for a work of fiction with a large cast. - Norse Am Legend (talk) 19:33, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - character lists are a standard split out from articles on a notable work; tag for clean up. Doceirias (talk) 19:34, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge per Norse Am Legend. I'm not familiar with the show, but we usually use English titles here. JuJube (talk) 23:58, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Wikipedia:Five pillars (notability to a real-world audience, unoriginal research, consistent with a “specialized encyclopedia” concerning verifiable fictional topics with importance in the real world), What Wikipedia is, Wikipedia:Lists (discriminate, encyclopedic, maintainable, notable, unoriginal, and verifiable), use of "cruft" never being a valid reason for deletion, and Wikipedia:Do not call things cruft. All of these editors believing the article meets our policies and guidelines and therefore is worth their volunteer time since 2006 trumps two deletes in some snapshot in time AfD. --Happy editing!

- No, it doesn't. Stifle (talk) 08:31, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Uh-oh, sounds like somebody doesn't like it. The two lists probably ought to be merged by someone familiar with the series, unless there's some compelling reason for separate articles I'm missing. 208.245.87.2 (talk) 14:25, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- No, it doesn't. Stifle (talk) 08:31, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- First off, there are two overlapping/competing lists, which source differing bits of information. This and List of Magical DoReMi characters need to be merged, cleaned up, and sorted out. Second of all, a list of characters is by current consensus (rightly, IMO) a valid spinout for notable works of fiction when the article grows to long, and while this list doesn't assert it very well, the work itself is very notable. Keep for cleanup and probable merging. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:43, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- But if a seiyu has played main characters in anime, then we can infer that he or she is notable. After all, WP:N and WP:BIO are just guidelines, which means they're more flexible than policies. Policies can have flexibility in a few circumstances, though, such as WP:NOR states that articles whose topics do not have reliable secondary sources should not have their own articles, but if one article about a fictional character suits the situation, and the work and the list of ...... characters are too long (all the content meets WP:NOT and the three core content policies), the character should have an article to avoid verboseness in the articles about the work and character list. --RekishiEJ (talk) 11:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Contra Zero Kitsune, those roles all are secondary (though more important than minor/incidental) and not the multiple "significant" roles asked by WP:ENTERTAINER. That leaves the only notability claim being the "famous for," which does not seem to be readily verified. If someone can provide a reliable source for that before the AfD is over, then we've got a keeper. Otherwise, it looks like a delete. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:22, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are clearly plenty of mentions of this person as the voice actor for various roles, but nothing I can call I reliable source we can use, apart from various user-edited databases like ANN.

Unnotable voice actor that fails WP:BIO. Almost all roles listed are minor roles, and no sources are given to back up any of these claims, just ELs.

- If there are no sources discussing these folks (relating to all the voice actor AfDs at the moment), they shouldn't have articles. It doesn't matter whether (we) anime fans think they are notable or important because of the roles they have played in some series, few of which are even considered that relevant/notable in the English speaking world because outside of Japan, anime is still a niche market. In reality, most don't even get that much coverage in Japan because voice actors are like TV actors in bit roles, with only a few exceptional ones out there who achieve claim and fame enough to be widely covered in various sources. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 20:14, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I'm inclined to say any upper- or mid-level Japanese voice actors are notable, much as US or UK TV actors would be. In Japan, voice actors tend to have a much higher amount of celebrity and recognition than their US counterparts, to the point that there's actually magazines and such (example: Voice Animage) completely devoted to them. So the bulk of sources aren't going to be in english, and probably not something you can grab off the rack at Barnes & Noble, but they do exist.

If her roles in Cutey Honey Flash and Digimon are notable and "made her famous" as the article claims, where is the extensive coverage backing up these claims to fame? Newspaper articles, discussion in books, heck, being mentioned in reviews of the series praising or condemning her work?

- It isn't a vote, its an opinion and it should be based on your reading of WP:BIO and your view as to whether the article meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. If you feel it does, make one Keep comment, explaining why you feel it does meet those guidelines, provide sources and links (as needed) to back up your argument, and leave it at that. Going back and forth and back and forth clutters the AfD and is mildly aggravating. You may want to read Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to discuss an AfD to learn how to discuss an AfD, and maybe glance over Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Also, it is not my fault you are having a bad day. You are choosing to be very emotional and dramatic over these deletions. I think you really need to learn to stop internalizing things so much and calm down some. You seem to get very emotional over everyday Wiki occurrences, which does not help anything at all and is only upsetting you. Step back, take some deep breaths, and have a cup of tea or milk. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 04:05, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
