this area, his inclusion relegates other media to single sentences. And remember, the anime wasn't even the first release. It was the manga which ran for 18 years. Current productions are the
Rebuild series which reimagines the events of the anime. All arguments about "views" are strawman arguments because the anime gets more viewers in some days then the topic level page, but the Rebuild and other articles get tens of thousands of views as well, with 180,000+ views on are ailing Rebuild section alone. This deletion simply is destructive and limiting. Our readers and their comprehension of the subject is paramount to Knowledge's success as a viable source of information - let's not purposely make the confusing topic even more confusing to them by throwing up barriers to accessing topic-level information about what Evangelion is, what it contains and why it is important as a whole.

discussed separately. Franchise pages have their place when there are so many different things to discuss. This is barely the case with
Evangelion, where the anime spawned everything that came after and everything that has been released is a derivation of the original TV series with slight changes to character interpretation or some events (the manga which has been published on and off for the past 25 years and technically before the anime and the recent film quadrilogy examples of such).
299:. It's "no" and not "keep" because it is about the whole reasoning above. While I understand Ryulong reasoning, the "glorified disambiguation page" is instead massively useful for readers, and diluting the information in the "(anime)" page would be detrimental both to the page (bloating it), and to the readers (who would have to go there to find all the spawned stuff). Also: that all of that spawned from the anime is not a reason to include it in the anime article, just like we don't put
228:. While some of the editors of the WikiProject agreed and thought it would be a good idea, a group of editors (including one who personally does not see eye to eye with me over a similar dispute on another article) have vociferously opposed as they feel the page has its necessity as the anime apparently does not qualify as

a lot of content and we cannot even fully grasp the books and movies released - many are not even related to the anime. The anime page should not be the main page because it is such a disservice to the readers and so confusing - and a small disamb will do nothing. Given

as their title is one thing, the fact that a manga, an anime, and some video games all use the title. Other NGE works include other video games which are related to their own canon, the

In addition, none of the sources in the article reference that the franchise is something that even exists. Yes, there are multiple media adaptations, but they are all derivations of the original television series and should be discussed within the context of that rather than having everything

As this is such a high profile topic, I must emphasize that I acknowledge that "Neon
Genesis Evangelion" is notable. That is not the reason for this AFD. This has to do with properly restructuring several articles when a WikiProject described by those who have opposed as
307:, even if we know well the birds are a spawn of dinosaurs. To sum up, this is a case where trying to tidy up actually becomes harmful to readers and articles. Not counting the fact that you're asking for cleanup, and not for the deletion of an article
205:. At some point, there was a discussion (I've not seen proof) that resulted in the anime getting a disambiguated page title and Neon Genesis Evangelion becoming a "franchise" page to cover all media relating to the anime.
