Article alerts are available, updated by AAlertBot. More information...

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.

Contested WP:BLAR (formerly to List of One Piece characters): Fails WP:GNG. None of the sources cover the subject in significant detail, and a WP:BEFORE check did not find RS that was not extensive fancruft. /over.throws/✎ 17:53, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot think of a main character in any of the best-selling works of fiction of all time who does not have a Wikipedia page. Additionally, the page quality has no bearing on WP:Notability. Deleting or redirecting this page would be out of line with past Wikipedia practice. Plumber (talk) 21:39, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Plumber:. Notability is not inherited thus despite One Piece being notable it does not mean that this is also notable. Importance of the character in the series is not a good argument for notability, either. WP:GNG states that there is a lot of sources (usually three is enough) talking about the subject in depth to be considered notable. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 00:36, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In short order I was able to find three scholarly sources talking about Jimbei and the themes of slavery, imprisonment, race relations, and international relations within One Piece, so there is not much merit to an argument for deletion at this point. --Plumber (talk) 02:56, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I couldn't ctrl+F find Jinbe, Jimbei, Jimbe mentioned in the first paper, Griffis 2016 (maybe due to bad OCR?). Bendetta 2024 mentions Jimbei in passing in two paragraphs (p. 37, 78). Bahari 2014 does mention Jimbei in a couple of paragraphs (I am unfamiliar with Indonesian; some parts I was not able to machine translate). All papers primarily cover One Piece instead of Jimbei; the first two would not fall under WP:SIGCOV; I cannot make a judgement on the third. /over.throws/✎ 03:27, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would recommend reading the articles in full rather than simply using ctrl+F before coming to any conclusions. In any case, editors use WP:Reliable sources on Wikipedia, not our own analysis per WP:NPOV. --Plumber (talk) 03:43, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NPOV is for mainspace prose, not behind-the-scenes source assessment... what I did with your academic sources was scrutinize them under WP:SIRS. Any source establishing baseline notability would go into the subject in detail; that is what the WP:SIGCOV standard constitutes. I agree with you that these papers are reliable, but only in other respects such as analyses related to One Piece. They are not papers that take Jimbei as a primary subject. /over.throws/✎ 04:17, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If there are other Straw Hat characters with notability problems, then they might have to be looked at as well. In particular, I feel re-redirecting your rework of Brook (One Piece) would also be preferable. I mean all this to say that I would not oppose taking Jimbei's, Brook's, or any other "not notable enough for their own article" character's information to add onto List of One Piece characters as to not completely wipe out your work. /over.throws/✎ 01:24, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
List of One Piece characters is already twice as long as most pages which merit splitting. There are an unusually low amount of articles for One Piece on the English language Wikipedia compared to its global popularity and influence. WP:What Wikipedia is not makes it clear Wikipedia is not paper and this article clearly meets the guidelines outlined in WP:Notability and WP:NPOV. --Plumber (talk) 02:14, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Popularity is not factored into whether an article is notable enough for inclusion (again, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED). The fact remains is that the article, as is, does not demonstrate WP:SIGCOV as Miminity put it. WP:NPOV is not a problem here. /over.throws/✎ 02:55, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are multiple WP:Reliable sources analyzing Jimbei's character and the themes of slavery, imprisonment, race relations, and international relations within One Piece throughout the article. This includes news, theses, and academic journals. --Plumber (talk) 03:04, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is a massive tangent. If the List of One Piece characters is two long, you can suggest a split into something like "List of One Piece characters (A-N)" and " List of One Piece characters (O-Z)" and not separating each characters, see WP:PAGEDECIDE. WP:ITSPOPULAR argument is not a guideline for notabiity. Also, idk why WP:NPOV is thrown here as this is a notability issue Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 06:33, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are more than a dozen WP:Reliable sources establishing Jimbei's WP:Notability, more than the three necessary. To compare with another fictional pirate, the Jimbei article has more reliable sources than Mr. Smee. --Plumber (talk) 17:41, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The list can also be trimmed to remove fluff or surplus characters if necessary, which would allow the page to be more readable while retaining the information added. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 12:12, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Restore Redirect per nom. No indication of independent notability, and no sources that seem to exist per the nom's BEFORE. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 20:36, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
