Talk:Otakorp

from VfD:

After fourteen months, the only encyclopedic content of this long article is: "Otakorp Inc. is a non-profit organization based in Pennsylvania that manages the popular Otakon anime convention." The rest, which is considerable, is an address list. Now, I've no objection to that single sentence, but if it's all that's worth saying about Otakorp Inc then it can be said within Otakon. I think I'd be within my rights in merging and redirecting, but my idea of a merge would involve deleting the huge majority of this article, and it would be discourteous (or worse) for me to do this unilaterally. Thus my invitation to a VfD of the (to my mind) non-encyclopedic ninety-plus-percent of the article. -- Hoary 06:00, 2004 Dec 18 (UTC)

Agreed. The sentence, and perhaps the president of Otakorp, should be merged into Otakon, and a redirect made. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 06:04, Dec 18, 2004 (UTC)
Delete. It takes that many people to run an anime con? Gamaliel 06:09, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- You mean, how many "anime" fans does it take to change a lightbulb? -- Hoary 08:40, 2004 Dec 18 (UTC)
  - With all respect, you try it. Organizing even small events is a giant headache (thank you, internship)--something as large as a several-hundred-people convention would be a ton of work. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 20:21, Dec 18, 2004 (UTC)
Merge the one sentence and redirect. [[User:Livajo|Ливай | ☺]] 06:31, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Never mind...everything in that sentence is already at Otakon. But we should just eschew the whole list of people and e-mail addresses and turn this into a redirect. [[User:Livajo|Ливай | ☺]] 06:34, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Redirect to Otakon. I hope everyone listed on that org chart has a good spam filter. —RaD Man (talk) 08:28, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Delete as a kindness to those listed. Wyss 15:10, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Redirect to Otakon ~~and merge~~, or stubify (again). They have an excellent website, listed as an external link in Otakon, and if they wanted this on the web they'd put it there. Good call listing this on VfD, IMO, it needed this discussion. And you're right, something should be done. Deletion is OK by me too. Andrewa 15:20, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- On closer inspection, there's nothing to merge. Redir still my preference. Andrewa 15:24, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Might as well Redirect to Otakon but the contents need to go. DreamGuy 15:45, Dec 18, 2004 (UTC)
