I believe it no longer meets FL criteria due to lack of sourcing, weak episode summaries, and current structure. Airdates are sourced with cal.syoboi.jp which I doubt is reliable. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 01:50, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Took me a while, and I'm still not perfectly happy with everything about this list, but I think that demotion is no longer necessary at this time. Good raise 07:17, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I'll check the sourcing and stuff later. I also want to bring up that the DVD cover may not justify WP:NFCC. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 07:55, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Source 4 only has the starting date?
Same with source 5
Is there a source that the episode numbering is a continuation from the past seasons? DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 04:37, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sources 4 and 5 provide a starting date and they let us know that the respective season aired every week on the same day.
The CDJapan sources provide episode numbers presumably taken from the respective DVD or Blu-ray Discs. Good raise 09:07, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
About the cover, yes, technically it and many like it are in violation of WP:NFCC. However, this particular violation is so widespread and so widely tolerated that one little FLC/FLRC is not the place to resolve this inconsistency between guidelines and practice. Holding a discussion, aiming to remove them all or to change NFCC accordingly, at a more central venue, WP:MCQ perhaps, or WP:VPP, would be a far more effective use of the community's time.

Oh I see, it was a burning question since I had to remove a DVD cover from a previous FL. Well my current issues are still the source for airdates, which I have no intention of pushing. Something I will push is that the media table structure would be more accessible if divided by volumes instead of episodes; plus the fact there is an empty blu-ray slot in Australisa which looks odd in the table. I'll see if I can get more views from the anime/manga wikiproject. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 02:35, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Both, whether this manner of use of non-free media should be permissible, as well as whether every single air date needs a source even in situations like this, are questions I'd like to see answered by more than a handful of random FLC/FLRC participants. As for the table, the empty column could easily be removed if need be, but I don't see what advantage a by-volume organization would bring. Good raise 10:47, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment nominated in JUNE, last comment in JULY, it's now OCTOBER, this clearly has no consensus for delisting. Suggest this is closed. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:34, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, ok. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 20:50, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
