Dragon Ball Z

Why are all the Dragon Ball tv series covered in this article? I think, for example Dragon Ball Z, is notable enough on its own to have an article not related to Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball GT. Also, searching for Dragon Ball Z currently redirects you to List of Dragon Ball Z episodes. Just wondering why things are the way they are. Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 07:52, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A group of editors decided it should be merged along with nearly every other page associated with the show. No one has since been willing or able to create separate articles that can survive the intense scrutiny from those who wish to minimize the subject and its impact on Anime, and modern media in general.

Low Ratings Not True

Dragonball Kai couldn't have been cancelled due to low ratings, if you check the top 10 TV rankings for any week during the shows run in Japan Dragonball Kai was always there. You can see all of them on Anime News Network, they're even all listed in the related news section on Dragonball Kai's ANN page. ZERO-ninja0 (talk) 12:59, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Remove fansite links?

I discovered that some references are linked to fansites, which are generally not reliable sources. Should we remove them or keep them? Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 17:41, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you are referring to Daizenshuu EX, in which case there is no problem. The site is a far more reliable source of series information than this article is.

Stop removing Tienshinhan

In the plot summary it mentions Emperor Pilaf, the Red Ribbon Army, and both Piccolo's. There are five major groups or sagas in Part 1 of Dragon Ball. The five villains of those Sagas were Emperor Pilaf, the Red Ribon Army, Tienshinhan, King Piccolo, and Piccolo Jr.. He should be there.STFX1046190 (talk) 19:33, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A question:

Why is this rated mid importance on anime/manga scale?

Dragon Ball is probably one of, if not the most well known anime/manga series outside of Japan, and a quick look at google trends shows that it has on average more searches for it than Akira, or Gundam, which are both High importance. 69.132.79.61 (talk) 19:04, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

High and Top importance are for anime or manga that have moved beyond just being popular, but have also had a lasting impact—either on its genre, critically, or culturally—decades after it was created. Gundam completely redefined its genre and Akira was one of the first anime films to receive wide spread critical acclamation outside of Japan. Currently, there is no such documentation of a similar impact by Dragon Ball. —Farix (t | c) 20:25, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Really? Dragon Ball has been spoofed several times in both American and Japanese Pop Culture, is credited (along with Sailor Moon) as having made Anime and Manga popular outside of Japan, and has influenced several of the most popular manga including Yu Yu Hakush, Naruto, and One Piece.STFX1046190 (talk) 01:48, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have to agree, Dragon Ball should be rated "high". It is the most popular manga/anime around the world. On Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Assessment's Importance scale; Gundam is used as an example for "high" because of its "Lasting impact decades after it was initially released". Dragon Ball would also fall into that category. Xfansd (talk) 03:36, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Dragon Ball should definitely be High as it defined the Shonen manga. It's the foundation on which all subsequent series have been built, and without it plenty of those we have now either would not exist at all or would be so different as to be unrecognizable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.212.83.6 (talk) 20:16, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Anime fans by in large hate Dragon Ball in part because of its enormous long lasting popularity. PeRshGo (talk) 03:49, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's the silliest thing that I've ever heard. --69.136.96.78 (talk) 22:13, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
