Result: No consensus. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:48, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited statements, including entire sections. Z1720 (talk) 20:30, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify that, there are exactly two (rather small) sections that have no refs. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 20:54, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Nihonjoe: The GA criteria states, "All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph." I see lots of places that don't have citations. Would you like me to add citation needed templates to those places? Z1720 (talk) 23:18, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If there are statements you think need a citation, then yes, you should mark every one of them. It's impossible to know which ones are potentially problematic otherwise. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:24, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Nihonjoe: Citation needed tags have been added. The "Twin cities" section also needs expansion. Z1720 (talk) 16:59, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've added a bunch. I'll let someone else work on it for a bit. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 01:20, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: I believe all of the "citation needed" items have been sourced now. I removed one sentence that I couldn't source from the end of the "Anime and manga" section:

In contrast to K-Pop, J-Pop is less popular in Germany and is mainly listened to by anime fans.

I've tried every which way of finding a source, and can't find anything outside of discussion forums (which aren't considered reliable sources). Any other items needing sources? ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:22, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also removed the following from the same paragraph as I can't find a source:

Several hundred anime films and series have been dubbed into German and, since the 2010s, have increasingly been marketed with German subtitles on video-on-demand services.

Anyone who can find a source can add it back. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:51, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: I've added refs for the additional tags. There are no others at this time. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:53, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Nihonjoe: Citation concerns have been resolved. I am a little concerned about the length, at 10,000 words. If possible, can some of this information be spun out or the block quotes summarised? This would help the article comply with the concise requirement of 1a. I think just a once-over readthrough with a focus of summarising overly detailed information should fulfil this requirement.

I don't see a problem with the length and detail in the article. Would you mind taking a stab at it, or making a note here of sections you think are overly verbose? ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:21, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
