List of manga

This list is redundant with Category:manga series and it's subcategories. A list of all manga is impossible to ever complete. Already created more manageable alternative: List of licensed manga in English (after discussion on talk page).

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List of anime -> same discussion on the List of anime article, which was deleted.

Delete Redundant to the category. It is impossible to keep this thing anywhere close to remotely up to date. NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 18:17, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm wondering why this wasn't handled with a simple move. The list of licensed article is a much easier to define and maintain (and even that's a massive job). ~~Delete~~ Redirect to List of licensed manga in English per SeizureDog —Quasirandom 18:19, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of licensed manga in English - Anyone looking for the old article will see their needs served well enough at the new one.--SeizureDog 00:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I've never understood why this survived where List of anime didn't, but if this does get deleted, can we make sure any redlinks are also included on Wikipedia:Requested articles/Japan/Anime and Manga first. Shiroi Hane 23:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of licensed manga in English - current scope is unmanagably huge. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 01:30, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and do not redirect per nom as non-completable, impossible to update in a timely manner, and too large for a single page ion any case. CRGreathouse (t | c) 01:57, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment wouldn't a redirect to List of licensed manga in English be a bit misleading? Unless we redirect it to Category:Manga series, although I don't know whether redirects to cats are good WP practise. Ninja neko 06:36, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This list is to general. Wikipedia is not a publications almanac. -- Magioladitis 13:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
