Anime and manga in Japan: Inclusion Criteria for anime pilgrimages

Swept in from the pub

Avi0012 recently added some new anime franchises at Anime and manga in Japan#Anime pilgrimages, in which I doubt whether they are sufficiently notable. Certainly we also don't want crappy works like Kemono Friends Season 2 (a notoriously bad anime series) to be included, so I'd like to start for a discussion on the inclusion criteria for the article of Anime and manga in Japan, regards.廣九直通車 (talk) 12:39, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

For me to have an opinion, there needs to be some more information on them, probably in the still missing Understand section. The lead of Anime pilgrimages now just states "Anime pilgrimages (聖地巡礼, Seichi-junrei) are trips to locations that became the models for manga and anime." I'd like to know what kind of destinations really attract "pilgrimages". Any place that features in any book or film? –LPfi (talk) 09:46, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

To be honest, I'm not the most fanatical anime fan. In general, destinations which serves as the main stage of ACGN works are most likely to become pilgrimage sites, although there should also be exceptions. Usually comments about a location on Google Map should give sufficient information about the popularity of these destinations.廣九直通車 (talk) 11:55, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

The places that should be listed are basically places that don't bother residents even if tourists come.Commercial cities and tourist spots that appeared in anime, and towns that promote tourism using anime. Places that should not be listed are places that would be a nuisance to residents when tourists come. Even if it appears in the work, ordinary residential areas should not be included. Also, places that interfere with traffic or are dangerous are inappropriate. For example, at the railroad crossing that appears at the opening of Slam Dunk, there are problems such as tourists obstructing traffic and entering the railroad tracks. As a reference, a Japanese organization introduces 88 spots.[1] Also, it should be limited to works that are well known to some extent. Since there are a huge number of anime works, the works should be narrowed down to some extent.--コイコイ (talk) 07:34, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
