censoring makas father?

edit

just curious but should it mention in the differences section that makas father was censored bu not showing the fact that he even had a blade? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.229.4.154 (talk) 02:29, 16 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

No, because for the exact same portion of the manga, he didn't have a blade either. Thus, it's pointless to call it a difference, let alone censorship. User:Immblueversion (talk) 22:27, 14 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, can confirm this. He can just transform without the blade for some reason. User:ECPBlue (talk) 23:29, 28 December (UTC)

Soul Eater Not!

edit

It would appear that Soul Eater Not!, the manga spin-off, has been released. Judging from what I understand, it follows a new student named Tsugumi Narudomi, a weapon, from her first day at Death Weapon Meister Academy. There are two other characters who befriend her: a girl who appears to be called "Meme" (I have no idea if she's a weapon or a meister, or if that's even her real name), and Tsugumi's meister partner Anya. The spin-off appears to take place before the events of the series; Maka and Black Star make cameos as new students, and Sid is not a zombie.

Anyway, the point I'm trying to bring up is, how should we include details of Soul Eater Not! in this article, since there doesn't seem to be enough information to support an article entirely on its own. User:Immblueversion (talk) 22:27, 14 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

It's true that there is a spin-off, and I'd like to point out that "Meme" is a meister, shown in the top right <copyvio link removed>, on the, erm... name tag.173.73.121.96 (talk) 11:55, 7 March 2011 (UTC)AnoymousReply

Hey, is it really taking place before the main series? I mean, Kim was already revealed to be a witch, but that happens after Medusa is exposed to be one too, right? Couldn't it be called an alternate story line? 74.96.7.236 (talk) 18:49, 5 July 2011 (UTC)AnonymousPersonReply

No, it takes place before as Sid is in it and not a zombie. User:ECPBlue (talk) 23:51, 28 December (UTC)

Information Contradictions

edit

In the development section the article states: "Atsushi Ōkubo created a one-shot story called "Soul Eater" published in monthly Shōnen Gangan"

Where as later on in the Media => Manga section of the article it reads: "The manga initially began as three separate one-shots serialized between June 24, 2003 and November 26, 2003 across two manga magazines published by Square Enix: first in the summer 2003 special edition of Gangan Powered, followed by the autumn 2003 special edition of the same magazine, and finally in Gangan Wing."

So which one was it? Was the first one-Shot of Soul Eater in Monthly Shōnen Gangan, or in Gangan Powered? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.98.118 (talk) 04:15, 24 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

It's Powered, as indicated by ref 3.-- 05:20, 24 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Unsourced

edit

I see alot of unsourced material, especially in Plot, but it makes sense. There would be no source except for the actual book. You cannot remove it all, or can you. It is kind of a spoiler, but I don't know of any spoiler rule. I'm so conflicted. Something needs to be done, but what? Does anyone have more experience with this? MGray98 (talk) 20:21, 6 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Plot sections get a pass with sourcing because, as you said, it comes from the primary source of the work itself. As for spoilers, they shouldn't be removed; see WP:SPOILER.-- 20:41, 6 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thriller

edit

Correct me if I am wrong here, but someone has been adding the Thriller genre. I don't think there are any sources that cover this matter here, therefore unless it is sourced, it violates a fundamental policy: WP:NOR. I think we should find reliable, third-party sources for these if the series is a Thriller. I don't want to get involved in an edit war, as I was blocked once for it in 2010, but I want to take the WP:BRD route and open a discussion here.

The description for Demon Weapons

edit

It says Demon Weapons are weapons that turn into humanoids but it's actually the other way around, as otherwise it likely wouldn't be a trait that could be passed down through generations. User:ECPBlue (talk) 23:50, 28 December (UTC)

I think the manga is the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Soul Eater". The only other article that shares exactly the same name including the capitalization is Soul Eater (novel); there is also Soul eater (folklore), though it is irrelevant per WP:SMALLDETAILS. But anyway, even including it, this article gets far more page views than them. The novel averages 3-5 views per day and the folklore averages 40-50 per day. However, the manga averages 800-1000 per day, over 100 times more than the novel and 20 times the folklore. Even when it comes to long term significance, the other articles are poor and make it hard to determine how much long term significance they have. By comparison, this series has received multiple adaptations and even has a spin-off that is independently notable.

Admittedly long-term significance is not something that I have the best judgment on, but based on the poor condition of the folklore article, I have trouble believing it has too much. But anyways, I have no opposition to Soul eater (folklore) being moved to Soul eater. Link20XX (talk) 01:11, 20 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
I also have no opposition to Soul eater (folklore) being moved to Soul eater, although I feel like it may be WP:SYNTH linking together any mention of a soul-eating creature. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 11:42, 20 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

The previous requested move, which was closed in June 2022, resulted in no consensus for this move. However, over a year has passed since then, so I believe it's time to give this another chance. This page's year-to-date views are over 100 times greater than the only other article with the same capitalization (Soul Eater (novel)) and 14 times the page views of Soul eater (folklore). However, WP:SMALLDETAILS explicitly allows for using capitalization to differentiate between two topics, which has been confirmed in multiple RMs in the past (1, 2, among others). Additionally, there already exists a page called Souleater, which is about a different topic and is not disambiguated because of SMALLDETAILS. Lastly, looking at the click-throughs for the disambiguation page shows that in June 2023 over 85% of the people who ended up at the disambiguation page just clicked through to here.
