Desire Climax

Template:La (delete) – (View log)

I don't believe this manga has any reliable critical commentary, which would make it fail the book notability requirements. Malkinann (talk) 23:25, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

• Delete. Per nom. Certainly the article (as it stands) presents no information or sources to satisfy any of the conditions of WP:BK. Ipoellet (talk) 23:48, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
• Comment The article title is misleading and based presumably on a direct translation/fan name, as there seems (at first glance) to be no English language release available or planned. I suggest any searches made for evidence of notability include the japanese title - Yokujō Climax / 欲情(C)MAX Dandy Sephy (talk) 03:27, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment Based on that, I went ahead and moved the article to Yokujō Climax - if that was inappropriate in light of its being at AFD at the moment (even though it's looking now like it'll be kept), feel free to rv me. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{(Dinoguy1000)} 18:04, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
  • The French and German editions render that (C) as a copyright symbol, and the Japanese cover does indeed show a circled (rather than bracketed) capital C. —Quasirandom (talk) 00:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

• Moderate Keep give me some time will you please ;) Ok Desire climax, 7 vol series by Ayane UKYO ANN. It is licensed in France Panini Comics France, Some coverages: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]. It is licensed in Germany Egmont Manga & Anime anyone (perhaps Quasirandom to check for German coverage) --KrebMarkt 06:59, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

• I'm hoping to wrestle some time to do that today, but just based on French coverage we've got enough to pass WP:BK. (I'm surprised given just how much buzz it got in scanlations that there's not even marginally reliable coverage in English.) —Quasirandom (talk) 14:19, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
• A quick search finds nothing reliable in German in the first couple screens, but the first volume of the German edition is only just out, so I confess I'm not surprised. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:31, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

• To be really exhaustive i should add ratings from Anime Land [11][12][13][14][15] French RS website as it is the counter part of its eponymous paper manga & anime related bi-monthly magazine in France. All coverage concur that the 5 first volumes are below average --KrebMarkt 18:02, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

• Keep based on coverage in French, making it pass WP:BK. I suspect there will be German coverage in a month or two as well, as review sites have a chance to review that edition. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:31, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
• Keep based on having the necessary amount of coverage in third party sources.kuwabaratheman (talk) 16:17, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
• Keep for the reasons mentioned above. Need to add links to the French coverage though. Dream Focus 18:24, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

• Added ref to French & German publishers in the article and copied all the French refs in the discussion page of the article. As wrote there don't count on me for translation & summary duty. --KrebMarkt 19:43, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

• Keep: per references. Needs English ones too, though. a--It's me...Sallicio!^$\oplus$ 20:56, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

• Cough, there is no English licensor that mostly the reason this manga went to Afd. Unfortunately or Fortunately depending of your opinion, people can't pretend to fight WP:BIAS and refuse to accept that a non-English translated work can be notable provided there is enough non-English RELIABLE third party coverage. --KrebMarkt 05:32, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

• Withdraw AFD - as the original nominator, I would like to withdraw the nomination based on there being critical commentary for the French-language edition of this manga. Thank you to KrebMarkt for finding it. :) --Malkinann (talk) 06:38, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

• I salute your good sense, one of the most important quality as an editor :) KrebMarkt 10:18, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
