This is a list of discussions primarily on the deletion of pages related to Anime and manga. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. An archive of past discussions is maintained at the first archive (AfDs up to 2021) and this new archive (2021 and beyond).

You can help maintain the list on this page. To list a new discussion for:

An article: Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
A category, template, or miscellaneous page: Edit this page and add the appropriate template to the top of the list - the hidden comments contain code examples and more instructions, and specific documentation can be found at {{cfdl}} and {{xfdl}}. For MFD, add {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}}. If there are no other discussions at the time, be sure to comment out the line at the top stating that.
WP:PROD: Edit this page and add *{{prodded|PageName|Date|}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, and replace "Date" with the date that the page was prodded. If there are no other discussions at the time, be sure to comment out the line at the top stating that.

Discussions should also be tagged by adding {{subst:delsort|Anime and manga|--~~~~}} to them, which will inform participants that the discussion has been listed here. There are several scripts and tools available that can help automate this process.

Please note that listing a discussion on, or archiving it from, this page does not add it to, or remove it from, the main page at WP:AFD, WP:CFD, WP:TFD, etc. If you want to nominate a page for deletion, go through the process on the appropriate XFD page before adding it to this page. If you regularly nominate pages for deletion, you may be interested in using Twinkle to help automate the process.

For further information on deletion in general, see Wikipedia's deletion policy.

~~:Comment: There is one article I managed to find when searching it on Natalie, and it was about this series collaborating with an MMA company in Japan called GRACHAN. ^[1]~~

~~SimonLagann (talk) 15:32, 7 September 2024 (UTC)~~[reply]

Keep: I found articles online, not just from Natalie, but from an MMA website called Boutreview. I think that should add to its notability. SimonLagann (talk) 16:39, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Kamen Rider Gavv episodes

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:REDUNFORK of Kamen Rider Gavv. It only has 2 episodes as of now which fails WP:TVSPLIT for being WP:TOOSOON Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 05:30, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2 episodes as of now, but the series is expected to run weekly for an entire year like every series in the Super Sentai/Kamen Rider franchise. Exukvera (talk) 14:43, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

probably draftify it for now. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 23:50, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How much episodes are needed so that it can be properly accepted as an article? 10? 20? The series is expected to have 40+ eps. Exukvera (talk) 17:39, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:TVSPLIT it said at least 50 but I saw many list of episodes of animes. Listing 24 as minimum Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 00:59, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In a few months this discussion will be pointless. All series in this franchise have a separate episode list because the main article would be too big with it. Some anime episode lists have 12 episodes or less, specially when there are multiple seasons with a separate article for each season. You can consider this as a list for another season in a 50+ yrs long show. Exukvera (talk) 06:06, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

it's WP:TOOSOON plus it has a separate article that had an "episode" section Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 06:08, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The episode section in the main article only has the titles. It would be too big with the titles and summaries and references for each ep. All Tokusatsu pages are made in a similar fashion. Exukvera (talk) 06:13, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then I'll just WP:DRAFTIFY it for the moment until it reaches 24 episodes Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 09:00, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. Exukvera (talk) 16:11, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinch to Punch

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This lacks WP:SIGCOV even the article knows it limited information has surfaced online. Oricon yield no result, Natalie yield no result, even the Japanese article has one source, the only thing I could find that is RS is from the Media Arts Database Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 06:12, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Anime and manga and Japan. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 06:12, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also nominating this related articles with the same reason as above

Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 06:15, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Keep) and improve with sources from the Japanese WP, that has a lot considering it's a 1969-1970 series! -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 11:28, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Television, Education, and Transportation. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 11:44, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(My initial !vote above is about Zen-chan Tsū-chan). I hadn't seen this was a bundled nom when I !voted through the assisted script. Procedural keep. These series have very little in common. And it's hard to discuss and improve the 3 at the same time without long tedious explanations and comments about what precisely is relevant to each case. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 11:48, 2 September 2024 (UTC) (The nominator indicates they nominated the pages "with the same reason" but the 2nd article has >10 references to reliable newspapers on JaWP, for example.)[reply]
I'll just seperate the 2nd one. Thanks for pointing out Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 13:36, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, my mention of ’the 2nd article’ is unclear: for the record, I mean Zen-chan Tsū-chan. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 22:03, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirects to the respective networks should also be considered.-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 11:57, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to see some way to keep the content, and suggest a merge to Fuji Television. For the ones which are made by Fuji, which doesn't include Zen-chan (please, please, don't do combined nominations of disparate articles!). Not sure about Zen-chan, as like @Mushy Yank this came up as a single article for me and I hadn't given it any thought before starting this comment
On Pinch to Punch it's unfortunate that there is so little secondary material out there although it seems even the primary material has been lost. This attests to its importance in the context of the development of Anime. This article could be perfectly happy as a stub, verified by what little information is out there, but it's hard to make a case for IAR on this. Oblivy (talk) 07:09, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The issue with developing these articles would be our inability to access archives which would have information about an anime series from 50 years ago. Hard to imagine that Pinch and Punch, a series with 156 episodes airing on a national TV channel, wouldn't be notable with access to the correct archives. If someone is interested, perhaps Fuji or the National Film Archive of Japan can help? I would personally either keep or merge the articles at a minimum.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: There is no consensus here. But I don't see any support for Deletion.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Yes lack of WP:SIGCOV.

Note - maximum sources are databases. and it's an enough reason to delete. Xegma(talk) 13:28, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. That is not true. References to Japanese newspapers of the time on the JA WP page. See my comments above, thanks. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 01:07, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's multi-paragraph coverage in this book at 634, less extensive at 132, 146, and 268. Oblivy (talk) 02:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of comedy anime

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Broad-category list, better serverd as a category. (And already is: Category:Comedy anime and manga.) Not notable as a group, so fails WP:NLIST. mikeblas (talk) 15:30, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Anime and manga and Lists. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 16:23, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Lists are more useful than categories, since more information can be shown. The rules state that both can exist, you should not delete one because you like the other better. Dream Focus 16:27, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Most of the items are notable thus there is no serious issue. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 12:04, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to per WP:TOOSOON. This list is lacking sources and is highly subjective to WP:NPOV issues regarding what is considered as comedy by whom. I also wouldn't oppose this being sent to Draft or Userfy if someone is willing to work on it. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:34, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
