An article that barely has any information on it and is clearly a lost cause. I’ve looked into it so see if I could save the article, and no information could be found minus some reviews. The article, even if all available information is put into it, is not notable enough for Wikipedia inclusion Crystal Drawers (talk) 04:24, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG and WP:SOFTWARE. The article is sourced almost entirely to primary/self-published material. The only third-party mentions located focus on Tachiyomi (the upstream project) rather than this fork. LvivLark (talk) 18:05, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another minor comic book character whose entry is just plot summary+list of appearances, and my WP:BEFORE yields nothing to help with WP:GNG. Suggest redirecting to the List of DC Comics characters#R per WP:ATD-R. Years of clean up and we likely still have over a hundred similar entry, pretty much every second comic book character I still click looks like this :( Sigh.

Nothing in this article, or my before, suggests that this niche version of Superman merits a stand-alone article. Plot summary, list of appearances, and that's it. WP:GNG fail. As for WP:ATD-R; he is not mentioned at List_of_DC_Comics_characters:_S (although adding a heading there would be easy). The best I see right now would be Alternative_versions_of_Superman#Golden_Age_1938-1950s. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:52, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the proposed page in the nom. I'm not sure of the notability of the target page, but for now it's definitely the best page for covering the information about this character. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 18:37, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A list of non-notable characters, pure plot sourced to plot (comic books). Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Earth-Two looks likely to end up in a redirect (target is not decided yet, maybe List of DC Multiverse worlds?), with maybe a bit of a merge. I am somewhat at a loss where to redirect/merge this lists of a characters (from what appears to be a non-notable setting). Lists of DC Comics characters?

A character from DC Comics. A search yields largely plot summary or VALNET sources. I did find one solid Comicbook.com hit [1] but beyond that it's largely trivial mentions or the aforementioned plot summary and Valnet. There is very little in the way of WP:SIGCOV to satisfy a whole article split off the characters list for this character, especially given the character's general lack of appearances in the franchise. I'd suggest a redirect to the character's entry at List of DC Comics characters: G, where this information, albeit with a trimmed down plot summary, can be covered much more succinctly with other characters from the series.

Fails WP:GNG. The references are mostly routine announcements, with no significant independent coverage. Per WP:NTV, it lacks production and reception detail and ends up reading like a program guide. Notability has not been established, could be merged into Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Media Mender (talk) 12:36, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TOOSOON. To be released in summer 2027. Not ready for mainspace. All promotional, routine and announcements. Article should be moved to DRAFT. RangersRus (talk) 22:55, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Voters should have understanding of WP:NFILM guidelines and the coverages needed for the film to pass notability. Coverages should be from secondary independent reliable sources. From the above source analysis, it is very clear that the film does not pass notability as of yet. Maybe in the future when close to release date when multiple critical reviews are generated. RangersRus (talk) 15:20, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draftify or Delete - It is clear that some of the voters have misread the future film guideline, which is a poorly written guideline that has caused confusion for at least a decade. Films fall into three stages:
    • 1. Films that are not yet in production, which are not notable.
    • 2. Films that have entered or completed production, which are notable if production itself has been notable.
    • 3. Films that have been released.
The guideline for the second stage, between production and release, is poorly written, but only provides that the film is notable if production has been notable. Significant coverage of the fact that the film is in the works is not sufficient. The coverage is mostly promotional and has aspects of crystal balling. This film, like most films between production and release, is not notable. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:19, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Source Analysis.

  • Omlete.com, Routine, about postpone from 2026 to 2027, why and who is starring.
  • Radiofrance, Routine, about the concern over the new design after the teaser was unveiled.
  • Revistamonet, Routine about postpone.
  • Eldiariao, Routine about postponement and about who is starring in the film.
  • Filmstarts.de, Routine, same postponement and about who is starring.
  • 24matins, Routine, same postponement
  • Lefigaro, Routine, postponement and who will be starring.
  • Lesinrocks.com, Routine, postponement and who is starring.

So no significant coverage to pass notability. RangersRus (talk) 12:17, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I beg to differ. Routine, how? It’s significant and focusing on the film. It’s coverage about aspects of the production (cast, story, style) and its release. Plenty more exists. - E. Ux 12:21, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, I did not list any Dutch source......only French, German, Spanish and Portuguese...I can add some in Czech, Polish, Italian, Galician, and Dutch etc, though, as significant coverage in many languages exist - E. Ux 12:27, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Its ok to differ Eva UX/Mushy Yank. But like in analysis that none of them had significant coverage enough to pass WP:NFILM, that talked about same subject "postponement". Even if you add sources from any more different languages here and if they are all about same topic that has already been analysed above and for English sources, it will be of no help. RangersRus (talk) 15:10, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not same aspect of the topic exactly, and not what is called routine. - E. Ux 16:37, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
routine news coverage of such things as announcements are not sufficient basis for a whole article. RangersRus (talk) 18:40, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Which said coverage is not. - E. Ux 15:37, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And please amend your edited comment about Dutch sources per WP:REDACT as your changes make my subsequent reply impossible to understand. (’But if anyone has already replied to or quoted your original comment, changing your comment may deprive any replies of their original context, and this should be avoided. Once others have replied, or even if no one's replied but it's been more than a short while, if you wish to change or delete your comment, it is commonly best practice to indicate your changes.’)--- E.

Similar case to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Earth-Two I just nominated for discussiong. Again, nothing in the article, nor my BEFORE, suggests this meets WP:GNG. We have a lengthy plot summary and list of appearances (as setting). Publication history section is mostly unreferenced and ORish. WP:ATD-R suggests List of DC Universe locations might work, although right now Earth-2 is not mentioned there as an entry (just as part of some other plot summaries). Multiverse (DC Comics) might offer another alternative for redirecting, or perhaps List of DC Multiverse worlds? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:21, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Zxcvbnm: Academic publisher Routledge has a whole book dedicated to the DC Multiverse, The Worlds of DC Comics. So it seems very unlikely that this topic fails WP:GNG. Daranios (talk) 10:04, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable director. The article was PROD'ed for this reason, which I endorsed because of it citing mostly unreliable sources (IMDb and the encyclopedia of Anime News Network, not sure about MUBI, but I know Rotten Tomatoes is reliable), but it was dePROD'ed by another user who claimed he meets WP:DIRECTOR. (Upon further inspection, that doesn't seem to be the case because I don't see the article meeting any of the 4 criteria mentioned there.) Couldn't find any reliable sources showing significant coverage of Koshi via a Google search. A Google News search showed nothing. Thanks, 1isall (talk/contribs) 13:19, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment: As is my longtime practice, I would like at least three reliable sources added to the article, along with context. Nowadays, with the current situation, we need to be concerned about poorly sourced BLPs. Bearian (talk) 04:18, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: It looks like there is a consensus to Merge but no agreement on the target article. Also noting that the first AFD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anime and manga, looks like some April Fools' nonsense and isn't a genuine AFD discussion.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:07, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Presumably because Anime and Manga are grouped together as a concept, to answer nominators question? If we take action here, we should probably also refer to the Anime and manga fandom article. IgelRM (talk) 23:09, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
