Fan translation

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)[reply]

keep. legitimate topic widespread phenomenon, just as fansub. Mukadderat 01:48, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- your justification violates WP:V and WP:ATT Misterdiscreet 03:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per Mukadderat. --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 01:55, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
keep Just needs better sourcing. -- Ishikawa Minoru 03:15, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
Keep. Too major a topic for total deletion when the main problems could be corrected relatively easily. Faunis 04:37, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- instead of saying this article could be corrected relatively easily how about you put your money where your mouth is and you actually do it Misterdiscreet 04:41, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - The same could be said to you, too.Kitsune Sniper / David Silva 05:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
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. Full of grotesquely unencylopedic tidbits such as "RPGe's translation of Final Fantasy V was completed October 16, 1997 (version 0.96)." Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 03:19, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
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.

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)[reply]
