I found no significant coverage for this. This hentai was released in both Japan and the United States. SL93 (talk) 22:43, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I found this, but anyone can submit a review. The reviewer is a regular user. SL93 (talk) 22:46, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are misstaken about the situation with that review. Chris Beveridge is the founder or AnimeOnDVD.com, which later became part of Mania.com, where he was in charge of the anime and manga content (he has since left the site to start a new site of his own). While users of Mania.com can write their own reviews, those reviews are separate from the reviews written by the staff members. There is an explanation at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga/Online_reliable_sources#Situational about how to tell the two types of reviews apart (basically, a user's reviews will have a username in the URL, while the staff reviews will not). Anyway, that review is by a professional who has made a career out of reviewing anime, and who has been featured in interviews on other reliable anime sites (such as Anime News Network), making it a reliable source. Calathan (talk) 00:13, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, but that is only one source. SL93 (talk) 00:17, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree that more sources are needed for the article to be kept. I checked a couple other sites, but didn't find any other reviews. Calathan (talk) 00:36, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak delete~~ - Considering that this is hentai sources will be hard to find. One more review may be enough to keep for now but more sources will be needed if this comes up again. – Allen4names 18:38, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The two reviews at mania done years apart, are enough. Was one done on a different reliable source, before one site was bought up by the other? Anyway, this was a major release, and if one hentai site reviews it, other sites probably do as well. Just not a lot of places out there reviewing hentai these days. Hard to search for Japanese sources. The Japanese Wikipedia has an article [1]. This manga was notable enough to be turned animated into two episodes, and was made into a computer game also.

Delete WP:OTHERSTUFF is not a valid reason for a keep here, what matters is sources, I see none on the Japanese Wikipedia article and so far little has been found, seeing this article is not large I would not be opposed to recreation if the sources are found. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:04, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This has been re-listed twice so I think this should be speedily closed as no consensus. – Allen4names 16:36, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
