I close this discussion with a delete decision, for the usual reason: that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, that its entries are therefore necessarily to be encyclopedic—that is to say scholarly, tertiary-source accounts of accumulated research and reporting on a given subject, written from a neutral point of view; that whereas Wikipedians utilize the collaborative wiki approach to write the entries, in no way are the critical verifiability and sourcing requirements of such accounts thereby obviated; and that where an entry fails these requirements it ought to be remedied or removed. This article—and I use that word generously here—has never been remedied, and it is not clear to me that it can be; therefore it is hereby removed.

This article seems to be a description of a scene in the manga series One Piece. I know nothing about the series, but this article does not seem to be within wikipedia's scope. Ladybirdintheuk 11:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep it's actually an episode article (episode #17, apparently). Does need cleanup, though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:37, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: the title may be the title of an episode, but there is absolutely nothing whatsoever in the current text that is salvageable. Additionally, the concept that every single episode of even popular manga/anime somehow "should" have an article is neither more nor less than rampant fancruft. WP:FICT suggests very brief plot summaries of an entire work in the main article, not detailed accounts of every single episode's events spread over hundreds of articles. This is an encyclopedia, not TV.com. — Haeleth Talk 13:20, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as completely unsalvagable and not worthy of its own article. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 14:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Haeleth. --Metropolitan90 16:25, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Starblind. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:05, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete This was part of a clean-up project that I never got around to completing. It's a very poorly written episode synopsis for One Piece. It was a trans-wiki, originally posted to the Arlong-Park OP fansite. I never got a clear answer on if it was a copyvio or not. It has a few siblings that need to be removed as well. --Kunzite 19:06, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Most of the One Piece episode articles are beyond repair anyway. The Splendiferous Gegiford 20:35, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: and rewrite: Just clean it up. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 03:38, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They're still a possilbe copyvio. If you want to clean it up, plese do it. --Kunzite 04:17, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Per Ladybirdintheuk. —Encephalon 18:38, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
