have responded to me at all. I genuinely don't understand why we're having this conversation, but I would suggest that, in future, you trust your initial statement and allow AfDs to take their course. Responding to every comment made -- even if you're just trying to clarify your intent -- just makes it look like you're trying to own the discussion, or something. In the meantime, opinions from other experienced editors would be welcome.
686:
occasionally provide additional information that is available on the
Japanese Knowledge (XXG), and that more active editors can use to decide for themselves if there is a way to make an article into something worthwhile. I have seen far worse articles become good ones after someone sent them to AfD. Stop trying to turn this into an argument, assume good faith, and wait until consensus arises.
670:
Knowledge (XXG) is not a voting booth! And Afd is not about voting either; it is about improving the quality of an encyclopedia that is meant to remain forever. This heap of text that call itself an article had four years to develop. It did not and it won't over the next 4 years. If you wish, userify
377:
They reuse the same theme probably recycle some characters, retelling the story again. Gundam and others do the same thing in their universes. This way people can link to which of the three notable series they are looking for, and know the series was redone three times already, and see what else is
655:
Failure to develop a stub does not imply lack of notability. I'm not voting keep here; from what's in the article now, taking it to AfD was perfectly fair. At the same time, there is precedence for franchise pages like this if one can be developed; this AfD will be read by editors who might want to
594:
Hmm, the
English article is a mess. The Japanese article is a bit more detailed; it seems like the three series were advertised by the production company as part of the same franchise, despite the lack of plot overlap. Not all that unusual a concept, but certainly more common in Japanese television
685:
Try reading what I said instead of screaming at me. I specifically SAID I wasn't voting! (And I didn't mean voting in the sense you imply anyway, merely the word in bold people use when stating a position.) I don't edit articles much these days; I monitor anime AfD because I speak
Japanese and can
715:
I'm not going to work on the article, as I said above. I'm simply providing information here. I'm not really sure why you feel the need to argue with me about the information I'm providing; I apologize if I've misunderstood your intention, but you've clearly misunderstood mine, or you would never
623:
Obviously, any franchise page would need to be sourced properly. That goes without saying. I'm merely suggesting there may be more grounds/need for one than the
English version of the page suggests; anything further would need an interested editor to get involved and do some digging.
415:
fails to meet
Knowledge (XXG) Notability guideline, that is, it has not received significant coverage in reliable sources and therefore does not merit a standalone article. That's just one of the many policies that this article violates. Essentially, this article sail very close to
530:
Keep the article as it is now. The sentence before the links and three sentences after it, are necessary to understand what it is. A valid list article, aids in navigation, and a common search term, linking people to whichever of the three notable series they were looking for.
483:
There is no need to remove that paragraph explaining things to people. Call it a list page, or a link page. Even disambig pages have information on them, and what brief bit is there is necessary for people to understand what they are linking to, and why there is a difference.
468:
So, you mean we turn it into a disambiguation page? Hmmm! A good idea. We remove the paragraphs at the bottom and leave the links. Then, we put a disambig template. If we have a consensus on that, then let's just wait for the AfD closure and then commence.
802:
Well, this article is neither about
Robotech nor the splicing of the series. So, I'm afraid what Google News shows is of very little significance here. Besides, you are now advocating conversion of this "article" into a disambiguation page, aren't you?
893:
series are related to each other, what cannot be disputed is that all three have "Super
Dimension" in their titles. It would make more sense then to turn this article into a formal disambiguation page if the rest of the information cannot be sourced.
700:
I didn't scream. (Why should I?) And I perfectly assumed good faith. (Why should I not?) If you feel this article may improve, you can userify it or move it to incubator. Do you feel such, Doceirias? If so, we can drop the AfD right away.
91:
671:
this page (or move it to incubator) and work on it to make it a good stub, a disambiguation page or a good category page. I think it is self-evident here that this article in this condition does not merit existence.
191:
81:
609:
Hmmm... An interesting note. However, such a note is not so notable that merit its own article, now is it? You can consider putting this note in other articles... with proper citations, of course.
86:
353:
638:
That more easily said than done. This article has been up for four years, since 2006. It had so much time for development. It hasn't developed. Hence, it is not potentially notable.
656:
edit it, so I pointed out that there was more information on the
Japanese page in case there was something to be made of it. Not sure why you're arguing with me about that.
185:
151:
146:
76:
438:
It links to other pages, this a valid search term. People search for Super
Dimension, there are three pages they could be looking for, so a disambiguation page is fine.
595:
than here. I'm not entirely sure that it's possible to create a franchise article that meets notability requirements, but it might be worth investigating.
774:
that mention that
Robotech was released as a merger of these unrelated series. The information is all verifiable, and gets ample coverage everywhere.
299:
That's what the article itself confess: Unrelated. Now, if you feel you have a problem with it, then joint the club! I have a problem with it too!
420:. By all means, go ahead and put the matter on other articles, but this so-called "Article" thing is not even category, let alone article!
261:
319:
318:
there's something wrong with the list of previous AfDs. "Super Dimension Fortress" is a different article, with different topic matter.
