Dragon Ball Daima

I was wondering if we should add the details about the new anime 66.244.95.12 (talk) 02:13, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, there's already a redirect for it, but the article only mentions its existence in the info box. Whatever you do, I'm probably not interested. (talk) 11:20, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there no Dragon Ball Daima article yet?

Series comes out in a little over a month. It's fairly significant. Why isn't there a Daima article yet? Why does it just re-direct here? 141.126.92.77 (talk) 11:04, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It already released now, someone really ought to make an article. 2601:406:8480:7940:555C:1516:19B8:E836 (talk) 00:45, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

There are numerous uncited statements throughout the article, including entire paragraphs
There numerous block quotes used in the article, which I think would be better as prose.
The lead is very long and contains a table, which is very usual for an article. I think this area needs to be reformatted.

Is anyone interested in fixing up this article? Is not, should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 01:14, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Split proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

I think that the topic of Dragon Ball's cultural impact is notable enough to justify its own page, and can probably be expanded upon significantly. I've started a draft for a new page with the content from this one: Draft:Cultural impact of Dragon Ball. Does a split sound reasonable? Di (they-them) (talk) 22:31, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's been several days with no objections, so I will take that as an affirmative. Di (they-them) (talk) 10:36, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Result pending

The article contains uncited passages, including entire sections and paragraphs. Notes are used as citations to other Wikipedia articles, instead of citing the information directly in the article (note b and e) Z1720 (talk) 22:11, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm pretty sure all those notes and several paragraphs regarding sales, estimated circulation figures and such were added by sockpuppet user Maestro2016, known for including that kind of information in several articles, doing sums with different sources (which is against WP:SYNTH), using sources of questionable reliability, and more, so I would recommend to check and remove that kind of content.
