Crunchyroll Online Catalog

Crunchyroll Online Catalog (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

This was a CSD candidate under G11, but it does not seem to be blatant spam. However, this is a very good example of a page that should not be on Wikipedia. Per WP:NOTREPOSITORY, WP:PROMOTION, and WP:NOTCATALOG, this page is simply a useless list and is highly unencyclopedic. As a list of works published, this almost qualifies as a "sales list" sans prices and has no place in Wikipedia. ɳOCTURNEɳOIR ^{( t • c )} 03:41, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

• Delete as the person who CSDed the article. It is also pretty much a copy of Crunchyroll. The site gained some notability, but not three articles worth, despite the claims of the site's PR person who created all three. No redemptive value as a redirect. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 03:41, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete not encyclopedic, not worth a redirect to Crunchyroll, WikiPedia is not a sales catalogue. 76.66.193.90 (talk) 05:41, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

• Delete If Crunchyroll wants a catalog of all series streamed from their website, then they should host that list on their website, not on Wikipedia. (WP:NOTCATALOG, WP:NOTREPOSITORY) I also don't see this as a viable search term either and it relies too much on WP:ONESOURCE (which shouldn't be a redlink). --Farix (Talk) 12:23, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

• Merge to Crunchyroll. Every partner listed under Crunchyroll Partners has a either a list page or a category page of their titles. Indeed, pretty much every anime licensor and anime studio page, not to mention manga publishers, has a list of their titles. I don't see where having a list of Crunchyroll titles is any different, or unreasonable (see also WP:BUILD. 159.182.1.4 (talk) 13:21, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Because Wikipedia is not their online catalog. The list was in the CR article too (he put it there, then made a separate article) and was removed as it was not appropriate. Nor is this website a licensor, studio, nor publisher. We don't list every video on YouTube, Joost, etc, so there is no reason to list everything here either. If people are interested in the site's detailed contents, they can go to it. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 14:09, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete as spam. Recommend Salt as well, since there seems to be a publicist involved. Edward321 (talk) 15:35, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete We don't need a catalog and there is already a Crunchyroll article. --KrebMarkt 18:07, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
