Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Destubification drive

Note

Just wanted to add, a user edited an article based on the drive at Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Assessment. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 22:42, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Then why not point that user here? Goodraise 09:28, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Starting to look like a taskforce

I dont think its a good idea to make this so user-request oriented, if you know what I mean. We dont really need a participants list, though I like the idea of coordinators/helpers incase someone needs help with a stub article. I thought the page was to help provide links of stubs and show progress among all WP:ANIME. Not make a group of editors ro do such a drive.Lucia Black (talk) 22:53, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

I dont think it can hurt here, having participants shows that this is active, and it would help to see what users are working on so there are no overlaps. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:20, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

like I said, its turning to a taskforce. we wouldnt need to show how active it is if this page was merely to help provide helpful links. The goal is still to promote this in the main article, so its just volunteer by action, not stating they are a participant.Lucia Black (talk) 23:31, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

I don't get where your problem lies. I thought this would be similar to Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2008. Goodraise 09:32, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

No, this was intended to be something everyone can participate without any commitment whatsoever to get many more editors involved. The setup is strikingly similar but has the layout of the competition.Lucia Black (talk) 23:12, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Well, in that case I don't really see the point of it all, but have it your way! Goodraise 07:21, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

other wikiprojects don't have separate pages for participants. I thought this was a page to keep track of progress such as number of stubs left and how much it is in percents.Lucia Black (talk) 09:09, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Well referenced stub articles

if a stub is well referenced and no new information is present or can be added I think we should leave those stub articles be. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:05, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

A stub article is a stub too short to be one. So if its well referenced and you believe is long is enough to be an article, it can be promoted to start. If not, then it may be deleted or postponed for a better time to fix the article. Its not a race, just find the ones you can fix and worry about the others for another time.Lucia Black (talk) 23:17, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I feel it is kind of like WP:REDLINKs yes some people get rid of them but some are kept as future article ideas. I feel stub articles that are notable promote growth over time. Anyways I feel that a-lot of the stub artocles are going to be for Music articles (albums for anime series) and bio's taking a look through the letter A and B I found this to be the case. For the music article stubs I would recommend to merge them unless they can be improved upon to stand alone article status, as for the Bios that is going to be more tricky. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:53, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

No one is saying they must be deleted automatically. If there is a possibility of merge, then go right ahead. im currently working on DB and DBZ soundtrack lists.Lucia Black (talk) 02:09, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

2016 run

Following this AngusWOOF's commentary in WT:ANIME, I'm bringing the discussion here. I want to notify I have worked on Adventure Kid (except for the plot which was already acceptable [though not good]); so 1) now you can assess it if it's good and 2) I fear someone may have to check my prose quality. I'm a bit busy now but I plan to work on A, A Prime soon (if no one improves it before). Gabriel Yuji (talk) 22:22, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

I improved Ai Ore! a bit ([1]) (though not as much as I did with Adventure Kid). I'm not sure it's worth a "Start" but it's probably as good as the Corpse Princess from WP:ANIME/ASSESS#Assessment scale. Gabriel Yuji (talk) 01:00, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
