Slut Girl

A comic book that only ran six issues? Must be a million of these. Google search is obviously useless for the term, but "Slut Girl" + Ishatushi gets zero hits. -- BD2412 ^thimk 16:09, 2005 May 5 (UTC)

try "slut girl manga" on google (doesnt help the artists name was spelled wrong, either). 6 issues doesnt mean it wasnt important, it probably means it was a limited series rather than an ongoing series that got canned. i think Ghost in the Shell might have been six issues, and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind was... 8? Manga tend to have more than 26 pages per issue, too. Nateji77 16:38, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Oh come now, comparing this short-run sex comic to Ghost in the Shell? I'll concede, though, that "Slut Girl" + Isutoshi does top 1000 hits... but I have faith that the vfd process will work correctly, one way or the other. -- BD2412 ^thimk 17:26, 2005 May 5 (UTC)

I wasn't suggesting they were equally noteworthy; I was using GitS as an example of a very noteworthy comic with very few issues. Nateji77 18:21, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Keep - I stand humbly corrected - I jumped the gun on this one, I think - got caught up in the mis-spelling of the author's name. I don't believe in withdrawing vfd's, but I think this article will end up being kept. I added quite a bit to it just now! -- BD2412 ^thimk 23:18, 2005 May 5 (UTC)

• Keep, cleanup. Nateji77 16:38, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, amazon.co.jp sales rank is 63,673 [1]. Kappa 18:03, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. A small number of issues doesn't equal non-notable, especially for Japanes comics. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:10, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
• What is this crap, I thought this was supposed to be the thing that anyone can add articles to? (comment by article author BlueRhythmJohnny)
• Delete - Same author is creating "Ol' Baldy", "Oy Carumba", and "Frankensauce" with text like "I call it that because...". (See comment by author above) - Tεxτurε 22:08, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Newbie user still learning the ropes. Others are speedy deletion candidates, but this seems slightly noteworthy based on the sales rank. Can anyone tell me about the artist? Mgm|^(talk) 22:13, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • The artist is fairly thickly praised here. -- BD2412 ^thimk 23:25, 2005 May 5 (UTC)
• Comment: The other articles were just newbie mistakes. This is a well-meaning user who has now been in touch with several other editors to learn the ways of Wiki, and this article seems at least slightly noteworthy. Solver 22:54, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Number of issues has no bearing on notability. 23skidoo 23:14, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
• keep please, it was a mistake to remove this Yuckfoo 23:21, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, 1000 Google hits for Manga.. sorry this just isnt that notable and considering its been discontinued it wont get anymore notable. Megan1967 03:43, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
• Assuming this is hentai mange without tentacles, Keep as notable for just that reason. --Simon Cursitor 06:51, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Verifiable, notable. Mirror Vax 12:02, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Sorry for my upset comment above, I did not understand the process. I read some of the pages about how wikipedia works, and I realize some of the othre things I posted were not really "articles". But this is, so you should keep it. Thanks. --Brjatlick 16:19, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete doesn't seem to be notable. Grue 17:43, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
