Search for reliable, third-party sources only turns up the one review that is already linked in the article. This fails the "significant coverage" requirement of WP:NOTE. All of the keep comments from the previous AfD were citing the raw number of Google hits, that it was licensed in English, that it has an IMDb entry, asserted that it was notable without giving an other argument or evidence, or gave no reason at all. —Farix (t | c) 20:50, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. While the series does appear to have some degree of popularity, and it is licensed, there appears to be a lack of reliable coverage in either English or Japanese. There isn't even an ANN link announcing its licensing (although I could have missed it). The reason for the "weak" is because it is licensed, which IMHO can be an assertion of notability if it were a regular series, but it's a hentai so it doesn't count.

Weak Keep. Valid movie; is listed on I.M.D.B. LogicalCreator (talk) 07:11, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb is not a reliable source. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 09:54, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a movie, but an OVA, which was released directly to video. During the 90s, Japanese studios would produce an OVA on just about anything so long as someone paid them. The results was that most of those OVAs were terrible. But most importantly of all, they did not get any of the coverage that would have been given to an actual film. —Farix (t | c) 20:22, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No reliable sources here to back notability, I have seen no valid keep arguements here. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:35, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of titles by Pink Pineapple. I found two sole sources for this and I have a feeling that there might be a little more out there, but is probably lost to the sands of pre/early-Internet time. Pink Pineapple itself is rather notable, having produced several series and being a known name (despite the article for them needing a ton of work), but not everything they've done is individually noteworthy. I say that it'd be a good idea to redirect this to that page and work on fleshing out that page as a whole.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 14:20, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
