Welcome to WikiProject Anime and manga! We are a group dedicated to improving the coverage of anime, manga, and related topics on Wikipedia, and hope that the suggestions on this page and its subpages will help guide the efforts of other contributors. If you have any questions about the project, please feel free to ask them on our talk page or contact one of our participants.
09 Jul 2024 – Danna-sama to no Love-Love Love Song(talk · edit · hist) was PRODed by Miminity (t · c): The song doesn't satisfy any of the WP:NSINGLE, the song barely even has reliable news coverage other than the references in the article.
WikiProject Anime and manga's scope includes all topics related to anime and manga as well as all media, persons, organizations and fandom substantially related to any anime and manga franchise. This includes international subjects necessary for comprehensive coverage of the core topics.
Anime, including television, OVAs, and animated films;
Notable Japanese or international publications and websites meant for review and commentary of anime or manga (such as Newtype or Anime News Network);
Voice actors, Japanese or international, whose principal work is in anime and whose roles are generally notable (such as Takehito Koyasu or Jessica Calvello); and
This project maintains an essential focus on anime, manga, and related merchandise originally meant for consumption in Japan. Therefore, its scope does not include works with incidental or minor association, including (but not limited to):
Animated or printed works produced for consumption outside of Japan that nevertheless draw on or are similar to Japanese media in terms of content or form (such as Chinese animation, Korean animation, manhwa, manhua and Western manga-styled comics such as Gothic Sports and Peach Fuzz).
Media, particularly video games, in which anime or manga characters make incidental or out-of-context appearances.
Pre-modern manga such as Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga, their artists, and other related elements. These are better suited for inclusion with the Japan and Art WikiProjects.
Composers, bands and musicians with incidental anime or manga association, such as having only a few of their songs used for anime opening or ending theme songs.
Articles on compilation albums with only a few anime or manga related tracks.
Anyone who edits or contributes to anime and manga related articles is a participant, and there are no other requirements for membership.
