this isn't an article but this isn't an otaku page, either

To editor Melodia: Regarding this dispute about unsourced content on this page: the material looks to me like fan service and probably afoul of WP:UNDUE. I understand this isn't an encyclopedia article but how much tolerance do you think the community will allow? Please note the prior discussion about the many images removed from here. Chris Troutman (talk) 13:11, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Melodia: I am going to have to agree with Chris on this one regarding sources. Adding WP:RS gives Wikipe-tan more notability outside of her fanbase (WP:FANCRUFT would still apply here). - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:20, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A list of popular culture appearances outside of “serious” appearances would be interesting, but I can see it devolving rather quickly into a meta version of “where’s my fanart” Dronebogus (talk) 13:36, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It was more about the reason for the revert -- saying "unsourced" and "not notable" and "citation needed", isn't really relevant. That;s why I asked you to "try again". ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 20:15, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is relevant per my reasoning above. Why wouldn't we want properly sourced content for Wikipe-tan? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:16, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve removed the mention, it’s charming that she’s popular outside Wikipedia and I like the free publicity but that’s not automatically notable. Dronebogus (talk) 04:52, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question

I am a big Midori Days fan, and I was shocked to see that the fan art of the title character (Midori Kasugano) was taken down due to problems with copyright. (I was even shocked to know that she was the mascot before!) Is the fanart still up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waylon111 (talk • contribs) 03:17, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think so. Machibito (talk) 02:19, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Move article

There are many disputes about the article as it looks more like an anime character article than a Wikipedia Informational article and the dispute makes sense as the article starts with "Wikipedia:" i.e. as a Wikipedia Informational or Help article, the best thing would be to translate the article as "Wikipe-tan" only like all Wikipedia articles because how do you say this is not an Informative Wikipedia article, so we better put it as a normal Wikipedia article Machibito (talk) 03:11, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would oppose any move until and unless this page is brought up to main space standards. — BillHPike (talk, contribs) 04:35, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

'Wikipedia:' is the prefex for meta about Wikipedia. It's not infermational, per se. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 06:28, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Melodia although the article is not an encyclopedic, it is necessary to return it encyclopedic because if we do not they will eliminated and there is evidence of it, to make it encyclopedic, we can guide us with an encyclopedic article by an anime character for example the of Ash Ketchum. For my part, I will eliminate the gallery, as it returns the heavy page and reduces the seriousness to the article and will also eliminate the links of the Kasuga accounts from Pixiv and DevianArt, since the article is not Kasuga biography and can be considered promotional. Machibito (talk) 19:14, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The MfD you link specifically cites WP:FAKEARTICLE as an argument, so making the page more encyclopedic would only strengthen that point against it (the objection has largely been quashed with the addition of the top template after that discussion, in any case). There is a clear consensus to keep the page in the Project namespace, and its current state reflects this (a combination of informational documentation of her history/use and a gallery of editor-generated content). The links are debatable, but again this isn't mainspace, and one can argue they serve to credit to a peerless contributor. — Goszei (talk) 23:46, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. Machibito (talk) 00:46, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
