*'''Delete''' Here's a challenge: try to find a non-list article with more redlinks than this one. Basically reads like a bunch of little nn articles crammed into one big nn article.

*'''Delete'''. Well, on the one hand, this article fails [[WP:V]], [[WP:ATT]], [[WP:NOR]], and more alphabet soup; in addition, it's full of fan trivia, lingo, and God knows what else. I'm not 100% certain that it's an unencyclopedic topic; however, if it were kept, it would continue to bloat as more and more ultra-anal geeks add more of their "favorite" fan translation tidbits.

- Fan translation (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
if all WP:NOR and WP:V violations were removed, you'd have a stub that couldn't ever be expanded Misterdiscreet 01:09, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- keep. legitimate topic widespread phenomenon, just as fansub. Mukadderat 01:48, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- your justification violates WP:V and WP:ATT Misterdiscreet 03:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Per Mukadderat. --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 01:55, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- keep Just needs better sourcing. -- Ishikawa Minoru 03:15, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Fan translation is a legitimate topic. The article needs a drastic overhaul, but to delete it entirely is going much too far. --Tenka Muteki 04:24, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Too major a topic for total deletion when the main problems could be corrected relatively easily. Faunis 04:37, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

- Strong Keep. Yes, there are problems, but they can be fixed. Although, I suggest a disambiguation link to be placed in its place so it can link to fansubbing, scanlations, and similar topics. Kitsune Sniper / David Silva 05:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Redirect to Fansub, merge eventual non-redundant information (there's seems to be very little of it)--Victor falk 05:34, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Much of the current article content lacks WP:RS; however, this has actually been discussed in published works, e.g. Carless, Simon (2004). Gaming Hacks. O'Reilly. pp. p. 265-7. ISBN 0596007140.

has extra text (help), which even mentioned some individual fan translation groups. Also it seems to me that fansub is a type of "fan translation", rather than "fan translation" being a subtopic of subtitling. This article, though, might be better off at Video game fan translation or something, since that's what it's actually about; it doesn't mention fan translations of other media like comics, books (yes, I've seen a few of these floating around the web), etc. Cheers, cab 06:12, 12 July 2007 (UTC) - Strong Keep.
