Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga

Proposed split of List of Pokémon anime characters

Inactive talk page over at List of Pokémon anime characters, so I'm putting it here as well. (Please respond at the source page, linked directly below)

Kasane Teto

Could someone from this WikiProject take a look at Kasane Teto? I don't know how the notability of fictional characters are assessed or whether this is related to anime/manga (it looks like it might be), but I'm not seeing how this meets (at least at the moment) WP:GNG or even WP:NFICTION. Perhaps there something there worth WP:DRAFTIFYing per WP:NEXIST which is why it's probably better for someone who might be more familiar with this type of article to take a look at it. There is a Japanese Wikipedia article about the subject at ja:重音テト which seems much more developed and which might be helpful for additonal sourcing and expansion. FWIW, I came across the article via a recent Wikipedia Teahouse question WP:THQ#Wikipedia:Piccadilly. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:09, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

It is a stub on ja.wiki as well. But yes, definitely much better than the one present here. I'll try to expand it soon. Lunar-akaunto／talk 14:39, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Consensus required for new Sanrio page

To compensate for these two sandbox pages of mine that never really went that far, I've been having half a mind these past several days to convert them into redirects for a tentative AFC campaign of mine, Sanrio theatrical filmography (draft), as soon as I set that up. Sanrio--the minds behind Hello Kitty, My Melody, JewelPets, Show by Rock!!, and Beatcats--ran a highly ambitious self-releasing film division between 1977 and 1985, returning to the big screen every now and then (with new distribution partners) between the 1990s and 2010s. WP already has a section on their filmography, but I think I could try to extend that coverage further and improve it thanks to WP:Library et al.; this (metered) March 2024 retrospective at aftermath.site seems like a good starting point.

Bonus points for the Hello Kitty movie they've been developing with New Line since early 2019. (As well as the long-out-of-print/out-of-syndication Don't Cry, It's Only Thunder, the first movie from that label I ever saw back in my youth [during its 1994-95 airings on the original Encore through my island's Marpin cable service].)

The feedback I receive below will determine if we can go ahead in the next 1-3 weeks. Paging @Siawase and @Blackgaia02 (the respective top contributors for the parent topic and JewelPets per XTools) in hope of our first opinion. Until then, see you back! --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 19:30, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

This is agreeable if JP articles are there. But not now as sources for those are somehow lost in time. BlackGaia02 (talkpage if you dare) (talk) 08:56, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Speaking of JP sources, this December 1979 relic from Gekkan Animation (collected/translated into English at Pelleas.net) could help us a bit. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 10:59, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Along with this June 2013 retrospective by Fred Patten at Cartoon Research (h/t my Google+ archives). --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 11:33, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea to me. I've been thinking the Filmography section in the Sanrio article could be improved, and doing a separate list type article where things could be expanded on would be even better. Also seems like it would work well as a parallel to List of Sanrio characters. There is a lot of sprawling Sanrio related information that doesn't always warrant their own articles, and this seems a good way to include it on Wikipedia. Siawase (talk) 08:09, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Evaluating Reliability of Sources for "Battle Angel Alita: Mars Chronicle"

I’m currently working on the Wikipedia article for "Battle Angel Alita: Mars Chronicle" thats on review for good article and have come across some sources that are not listed at anime and manga resources or Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Online reliable sources. Specifically, these sources are aiptcomics.com, fandompost.com, and animeuknews.net. I’m seeking input on whether these can be considered reliable sources for our purposes. I’m looking to establish whether these sources. If anyone has experience with these sites or can provide further insights, it would be greatly appreciated.

The Fandom Post is founded by Chris Beveridge who also founded and wrote for AnimeOnDVD.com (now Mania.com) (see: [1]), another writer for them Darius Washington has wrote for Otaku USA: [2]. At least, anything written by Beveridge or Washington is reliable. --Mika1h (talk) 21:00, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

fandompost.com is indeed included at WP:A&M/ORS. There is listed as 'The Fandom Post'. Anime UK News has been discussed a couple of times before. From what I've seen (and in my opinion too) comments often consider it a reliable source, but no one has taken the time to add it to the list. I'm not very familiar with AIPT, so I wouldn't know what to say. I don't even know if they have an editorial team, although I tried searching through the site. Xexerss (talk) 22:20, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification regarding FandomPost.com and Anime UK News. It's helpful to know that FandomPost.com is already included in WP:A&M/ORS under 'The Fandom Post'. As for Anime UK News, while it's been discussed and generally considered reliable in comments, it hasn't been formally added to the list. I understand your concern about AIPT's editorial team and policies. I've searched the site as well and found it challenging to locate detailed information on their editorial practices and team structure. Sunrise In Brooklyn ✉ 04:13, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

On Anime UK News, they've been referred to on Crunchyroll previously (though I can't see any of the articles still up) and a couple other places like Polygon. Their work has been good as far as I've seen. Posts are relatively frequent. They've managed to get some good interviews showing some influence.

On the downside, they don't appear to have an editorial policy. Their forums aren't particularly busy and their Twitter is so so. Most of their authors go by screen names like 'Darkstorm' and 'NOEMI10' which can be seen as a downside for a 'professional site', but it's not exactly uncommon in the anime area, so I'd not hold it against them generally. Their Editor in Chief 'Teapot' doesn't list any previous experience which isn't a plus though.

Considering the standards of the niche, I'd probably put them in a category of being generally reliable, but not particularly notable. It's the sort of source I'd be confident is as good as any 'professional' one, but I'd choose another if there's a better one. DarkeruTomoe (talk) 20:34, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Eyes needed at Menhera

I have removed what I think is an inappropriate image from this article. The matter could use review by more knowledgeable folks, especially if another image could be suggested. Posting here as I suspect manga/anime art is involved. Mangoe (talk) 02:27, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
