AfDs for this article:
- Gamble Fish (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Search for reliable, third-party sources turns up mostly illegal scanlations and one review of questionable reliability.[1] However, even if the review site is deemed reliable, this would not constitute "significant coverage" as outlined in WP:NOTE nor are there any other indicators that the subject would pass one of the other criteria in WP:BK. The other Wikipedias also do not offer any reliable sources either. —Farix (t | c) 10:08, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy keep WP:NPASR WP:SK#1. Nominator nominated the article for deletion then removed 8000 bytes from the article. What this means is that the nominator doesn't think that the deletion nomination is sufficient to result in a delete, which is evidence that there is no deletion argument to consider.

- Comment What utter hogwash. I gave a strong case for deletion, namely that it lacks coverage by reliable, third party sources. And editing the article to remove trivia did not, in any way, invalidate my original argument. On top of that WP:NPASR is not a speed keep rational. All it states is that closing admins can use their best judgment when closing AfDs with little to no participations after 7 days from the nomination. (relist, no consensus, or delete) It has only been 4 days since the nomination was made (3 days since you made your "speedy keep" comment). —Farix (t | c) 14:28, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Weakest possible delete without prejudice for recreation with more sources. This is probably going to be one of the most difficult !votes I will ever make inan AfD. I have known about this manga for several years for various reasons, so it has a place in my heart. Sure I've never actually read the manga, but I still have feelings for it nonetheless. This is the reason for the "weakest possible" part. But here's the thing − it is apparently not the subject of enough, significant, reliable, coverage, whether in English or Japanese. The manga does seem to be rather popular, but without reliable coverage, it can't have an article. I'll change my mind however if someone finds sources that I couldn't Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 20:58, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - Lack of indepencent reliable sources. Topic does not meet WP:GNG. Nothing under Gamble Fish, Tomu Shirasagi, Aoyama Hiromi, or Yumeichirou Shirasagi. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 04:17, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone wanting to see their contributions and expand even, go to http://manga.wikia.com/wiki/Gamble_Fish Note, it may take time to update their server for the entire history.
