Anime and manga series that have not been released in United States

This is an open-ended list, of no discernible usefulness; it's difficult to see that it could ever be complete (or verifiable). Listcruft. --Mel Etitis (Μみゅーεいぷしろんλらむだ Ετητης) 15:41, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can see this working as a Category, maybe. However, as a list which may or may not be updated? It doesn't really work at all. Lankybugger 16:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for reasons stated in nom. Another "not" list/category. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 17:01, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Anime and manga-related deletions. -- — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 17:01, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, listing or categorizing things by what they haven't done is generally a bad idea. Recury 20:11, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep at least until someone makes a category out of it. This is definitely information that should be retained in some form. I would support deletion if a similar category existed, however. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:35, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete How can you verify through reliable sources that a series/OVA/movie has not been licensed in the US? The absence of sources should never be grounds of inclusion on a list. --TheFarix (Talk) 02:09, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete What is the point of having a list of what has not been released where there are already articles about what has been released: List of anime theatrically released in America and Anime in the United States? --Squilibob 02:59, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, and I could see this inspiring other such lists for each nation and/or language. A lot of the same concerns about List of anime can be applied to this, as you'd have to constantly update it with the massive amounts of anime that is released each year. -- Ned Scott 04:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As a totally arbitrary list. I could at least understand, though would probably still vote to delete, a list of anime and manga that had been released in the US, but a list of negatives is almost unexhaustable. Also, why is it particularly notable that these haven't been released in the US, rather than some other country? Seems like a case of systemic bias to me. Where are the articles on anime that hasn't been released in the UK? France? Nigeria? Vanuatu? --The Way 08:17, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. -- 9muses 16:32, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete seems very US centric. _dk 22:21, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but maybe it should be "not released in English." - Peregrinefisher 00:39, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
How can you verify something has "not released in English"? Omission of sources is no substitute for verification. It's a simple matter to verify when there is an English release, but the verify the opposite is an unfair burden on the editors. --TheFarix (Talk) 17:59, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
