Eh now people is deleting verses cause they're not that popular in this side of the world?
We are a indexing stats wiki, the popularity should not matter at all.

i think the problem is more that the verse is so absurdly obscure that its profiles are borderline impossible to evaluate.

I made a blog explaining the stats but looks like no one reads it.

Jokes aside I agree with not deleting the verse, there's literally a Blog explaining pretty much everything

Which was not evaulated by th translation team
And we have a rule about not allowing verses that are 100% untranslated by their company

We have verses that never got translation like Touhou.

What? Touhou has official translations, that's a super duper bad comparison.

Do you know a lot of the TLs are fan translated in the first place (Fate that is)?
Do you know half of our Masadaverse profiles are japanese based on translations by people here?
We allow them as long as other speakers think they are fine

Then translations for Magic Domain?

How obscure is the series, though? Simply being in a different language doesn't necessarily mean we should delete it. Look at masada, for example.

The translations are in the blog.

Is an old chinese game that is quite popular there.

Do you have the chinese name for it?
If its quite popular, and the translations deemed accurate, I don't see a reason why we should delete it.

Magic Domain or 魔域恶魔
All the info in my blog cames from a official website and also the game has novels etc

Seems to be decently popular due to the amount of shit it came up in google.
Unless we have a rule against untranslated stuff, I see absolutely no reason to delete it.

Also it has a official web site from where all the info I posted in my blog cames from.
And sure, a game that can adquire rights to use both Godzilla and Kong at same time must have a good amount of budget and popularity.

This is not correct, we made a rule about it several months ago, you can check it in the editing rules page.
Verses that do not possess official English translations are allowed as long as they meet the following criteria:
- Do not add scans in a language different from English to profiles. The only exceptions are for explicitly visual feats, clear demonstrations of powers and everything that doesn't need to read a text to be comprehended.
- Always make one or more blogs to explain and demonstrate the content of a profile, including powers, feats and everything that requires reading a text. Blogs must contain scans (or links to them), the original text that is written into them, the proposed translation, references to the source of said scans and any kind of explanation and context needed.
- The author of said blogs shall provide any further evidence, explanation, scan and so on if asked them by staff members or regular users.
- Blogs for 2-A or higher tier and particularly controversial powers will be subject to extra scrutiny and will need the approval of staff members.
Later I will link the CRT where it was discussed and accepted.

Yes i agree, we need to look at the translations a bit and make sure everything is right. We should have some experienced chinese translators on the wiki right? I mean we have that verse with the op chinese emperor looking guy after all.
Only big games can gain rights to gvk, to use them to the extent that they do. Clearly the game is popular and big.
Not everything that isn't popular in america is obscene or vague.
I am working on such a verse.
Gegege no kitaro has barely any fans outside of japan, yet in Japan there's statues made of the characters and they're extremely iconic.
Basically, overall, keep the verse but get the translations please.

All the scans in the blog are translated :v

Don’t see much reason why a verse should be deleted especially if they are big enough to get the rights to two of the most famous monsters in fiction.

I just typed magic domain into YouTube and got results granted it's a mobile game so a lot of people just seem to whine about getting it on PC/console.

It sounds (to me) like the major issue is the verse not having an official translation, right? What's the original language and do we have multiple trusted members that can evaluate Apex's blog?

Plus Nu, Pogodi and Captain Pronin(I'm also planning to add Kikoriki). However to be realistic those cartoons are well iconic that they doesn't need a translation.

Anyway, yeah better be to back on topic. I think I'll make a discussion thread for kikoriki.

That discussion about Magic Domain is painful to read.
If the verse was translated by a human other than the person who added it to the wiki (i.e. a fan translation group) and that can be demonstrated by linking to a public release it's 100% okay. If Apex translated it themselves or got it machine translated, the translations need to be checked by one of our translators. If none of them are willing to or if discrepancies too big are found, it should be deleted. If they check it and it's fine, it should stay.
