Not yet notable by WP:NWEB or WP:GNG, with no significant coverage from reliable secondary sources. All I could find was some of their photos getting photo credits in film articles on some mainstream news websites [1], and some passing mentions of "...according to AsianWiki..." in a few film news articles [2]. SimilarWeb says they get 7 million hits a month, so per WP:INHERENTWEB we should expect more coverage of them in reliable sources, but I couldn't find it.

Delete Big site, sure, but it fails GNG. I was just considering to PROD this for its poor referencing and lack of notability when I refreshed the page and saw it had been AFD nommed. As a side not, the "alternative" section details an AsianWikis dot com, which seems to be unrelated to the bigger AsianWiki. Wikis plural happens to look the exact same as AirDates TV, another site the article creator made an article of (and which they have been inserting into random articles).

You're right, thanks, I hadn't noticed that about AsianWikis dot com. It does indeed appear to be unrelated, and article creator has already used that site as a reference in an article [3] and a draft [4], along with the episodeairdate dot com one you mentioned.

Delete per the lack of significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Here are some sources I found that provide one two sentences of coverage about the subject:
1. Craddock, Jim, ed. (2015). Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever 2016. Farmington Hills, Michigan: Gale. p. 1871. ISBN 978-1-5730-2492-1. ISSN 1095-371X. Retrieved 2024-09-03 – via Internet Archive.
  The book notes:
  
  Asian Media Wiki asianwiki.com/Main_Page
  Wikipedia style database of Asian film.
2. Berra, John, ed. (2015). Directory of World Cinema. Japan 3. Bristol: Intellect Books. p. 215. ISBN 978-1-78320-403-8. Retrieved 2024-09-03 – via Internet Archive.
  The book notes:
  
  Asian Media Wiki
  asianmediawiki.com
  Database devoted to Asian cinema, with up-to-date entries for the field of Japanese cinema. Very reliable, with festival dates, trailers and stills also provided.
There is insufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow AsianWiki to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
