Proposed split of List of Pokémon anime characters
[edit]Inactive talk page over at List of Pokémon anime characters, so I'm putting it here as well. (Please respond at the source page, linked directly below)
Akiba Souken end of service
[edit]WP Anime and Manga contributors, for your awareness, Akiba Souken, an anime news website operated by Kakaku.com with 22 years' worth of news articles and interviews with anime creators, will cease operations on 30 September 2024 at 15:00 JST. The website will no longer be available after that time, so I recommend an effort to archive links that use this website for references. I'm uncertain at this time if there's any effort to archive the website as a whole on a different platform. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 18:39, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- That's a shame, but thanks for the heads up. That way there will be time to find material that could be useful later on. Xexerss (talk) 19:17, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- There are 177 references to this site.
- I wonder if there's any automatic way to run Wayback Machine / update links to the archive. I'm not familiar with Internet Archive Bot or similar projects, but might be useful. DarkeruTomoe (talk) 19:19, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- I just tried using the Internet Archive for it, but when I try opening an archived link it just redirects to the home page. For any references to it I'd probably suggest using Archive.today instead. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:04, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
Regarding lead section for lists
[edit]So, I have a question for project members: how long should lists for certain articles like List of Slayers light novels, List of Dragon Ball chapters, List of One Piece chapters or List of High School DxD light novels be? Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 05:27, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Good article reassessment for LGBT themes in speculative fiction

Kino's gender. Again.
[edit]Last year we had a wide discussion about the sexuality of characters and, as I recall, we came to the conclusion that only either the text itself or the author can be a sufficient source for determining the sexuality of characters in non-obvious cases. Does this also extend to characters' gender identities? The thing is, as I noted a few months ago, [included a number of lists of transsexual and non-binary characters] on the basis that there was a fairly clear consensus among Western anime reviewers and bloggers about her genderqueerness. At the same time, as far as I remember, neither the author nor the text itself ever stated or implied that the character in any way identified herself as other than a woman (in particular, the author describes the original concept of the character as "a girl living like a boy"). In particular, an article about the show itself describes her as an androgynous girl. I don’t really like this kind of confusion, so I propose to discuss this somehow and develop one general approach to Kino and in the future in potential similar cases in the future.

Anime licensee categories
[edit]There is a proposed deletion discussion about Category:Discotek Media at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_August_17#Category:Discotek_Media. I'm mentioning it here for two reasons, firstly because it's been a month with little discussion, and secondly because it's been acknowledged that the outcome will have a huge effect on every other anime licensee category, such as Category:Funimation, Category:Crunchyroll, etc. Xfansd (talk) 21:27, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
