Has anyone looked at the content in Category:Anime, and said: "WTF IS THIS 7th grade humor shit???" Well, I have. I say someone should delete most of the unfeatured/unfunny articles in that category, and then we should remake the articles, but with QUALITY! Amirite? -- 23:21, September 5, 2013 (UTC)(seriously, swastikas, othersig.)
- Feel free to rewrite the articles in your userspace and nom the old articles on VFD. -- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 23:32, September 5, 2013 (UTC)
- We are all about QUALITY. Note Captain gull's recent recasting of the article on ZX Spectrum, relying on a vote at VFD to discard prior authors' work. 23:42
- Oops! I beg Shabidoo's forgiveness for appearing to speak on behalf of others without support in Policy. I am all about quality. Officially, the site remains equally open to purveyors of Randumbo, listcruft, and fart jokes. Spıke Ѧ 23:48 5-Sep-13
- Answering the first question - yes, I have. I've even tried to clean up some of these in the past - 4kids has been a work (slowly) in progress for a while. I even made myself watch a series of Big-O in an effort to help an author with that. (And gave up. 20 odd episodes to an “it was all a dream” ending made me want to claw my eyes out. Those brain cells could have been used for tequila.)
- I've wondered if this is symptomatic of the fan base itself. Most of those I know that are fans of anime are at a 13 year old writing level and/or 13 years old. I have trouble writing about this topic because I really don't care about it. Most Poké-like articles tend to degenerate into discussion of the sexual nature of the characters, or scatalogical scatter-shot.
- Going through and nominating 90% of this category for deletion would be a start. We don't actually need an infinite variety of poor quality articles about topics that only a small minority of our readership would be likely to identify with. As for filling the gaps - as soon as we have a good writer who knows the topic but can make it accessible to a broader audience base, he/she has my support. • Puppy's talk page • 11:09 08 Sep 2013
