Are there any reliable sources that describe "Hell Girl" as a magical girl series? I'm watching it as it premieres on IFC, and it doesn't fit with what I'm familiar with as "magical girl". —Dinoguy1000 17:30, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per your request, here are the rationale for the assessment as C class, and comments for the improvement to B class:

B1 (Referencing and citation) = No

Current information is suitably referenced, but the amount of citations are insufficient for B-class articles. See also B2.

B2 (Coverage and accuracy) = No

Per WP:MOS-ANIME: The following information could reasonably be expected in any Anime and Manga article: Production and Reception; but there is almost no information to this effect in the article at the moment. A lot of attention is currently placed on the plot-aspects of the series, and in some cases this might have to be trimmed a bit.

Refer to the good- and featured articles for examples as to the amount of information that is usually provided for each of these sections. (Specifically Strawberry Panic! and Tokyo Mew Mew

B3 (Structure) = No

The lead is too short, refer to the above examples; the lead should address all major points in the article.

The TOC has too many levels. There is no need to have the multiple "Episodes" sections, amongst other.

"Communication with Hell Girl" should be integrated into the plot section.

{{main}} should be placed at the top of the "Anime" section, and that section should address the different series. If you would like to have different subsections for each of the series, each should have a section – in prose – at least 2× as long as the subarticles' leads.

The article contains a substantial amount of embedded lists. These lists should be removed and/or converted to text. Splitting them to a list of media/albums (e.g. List of RahXephon media and List of RahXephon albums) can also be considered.

B4 (Grammar) = Yes

B5 (Supporting materials) = Yes

B6 (Accessibility) = Yes

Please let me know if you would like further comment or have questions. Regards, G.A.S^talk 12:39, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note that media lists are actually discouraged by WP:MOS-AM in favor of specialized lists (episode, chapter, album, etc. lists) or sections on the main article. You recommend splitting to a media list due to the number of embedded lists; I think the proper thing to do is to prosify them and cut unnecessary details. For this specific article, the cast/staff lists should be cut entirely, as they are wholly unnecessary, as well as the lists of OST soundtracks. The anime opening/ending theme lists should be converted to prose and moved to the episode lists (which, on a semirelated note, all need to be merged into one list), and the episode list for the live action series should be converted to {{Japanese episode list}}. —Dinoguy1000 21:36, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Which is exactly what I said... without going into the detail;). G.A.S^talk 04:46, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Meh, I just felt like being long-winded. ^_^ —Dinoguy1000 05:01, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Someone please provide a citation for this. I'm not buying it otherwise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.30.37.126 (talk • contribs) 22:11, 13 November 2008

FYI, the editors here presumably don't have a commercial interest in the work in question, so it isn't their concern whether or not you buy it. --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 03:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unless the anon's meaning is that without a citation, he doesn't believe it... ;) 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{(Dinoguy1000)} 18:48, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand which part of the entire article has its neutrality being disputed. Can someone elaborate this in a clearer way so that i will be able to do the edits. Silentwalker750 (talk) 13:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)Silentwalker750[reply]
