Awawa World[edit]

Article makes very little sense. Appears to be some kind of comic, but isn't very notable and hasn't received coverage from independent, reliable sources. Google results. Enigma ^message 03:21, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps a redirect to Akira Toriyama? Kevin (talk) 03:43, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That approach seems reasonable. Enigma ^message 03:47, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (for now). It appears the article was written by a non-native english speaker. I have done my best to rewrite the article. It is perfectly reasonable that a japanese manga written in 1977 meet notability guidelines and yet not have any Google hits. Further...as far as I can tell, the proper search term would be "アワワワールド" which does seem to come up with hits. -Verdatum (talk) 17:29, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Akira Toriyama per Doceirias. Agreed, minor short stories don't need articles and the other content can fit into the author article. -Verdatum (talk) 20:31, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - So what changed your mind? I'm a little bemused. Enigma ^message 03:46, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Akira Toriyama - the comic itself is a short story, and few short stories meet notability requirements. The term's alternate uses (as a fan club, as the world in which his stories are set) are worth mentioning, if sourced, in the author's article, but there is not need to split them off.

Redirect to Akira Toriyama per Dorceirias. A mention of the short work in the Dr. Slump article wouldn't be out of line. —Quasirandom (talk) 02:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Akira Toriyama as suggested. RFerreira (talk) 17:40, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
