Each of the Yoko Tsuno books' articles are unsourced, and have been for years. They lack reception and are almost entirely plot summary. These articles need to be merged into a single article (likely Yoko Tsuno) or be deleted outright for lack of references. The following articles are also on the block:
- L'Orgue du Diable
- La Forge de Vulcain
- Aventures électroniques
- Message pour l'éternité
- Les Trois soleils de Vinéa
- La Frontière de la vie
- Les Titans
- La Fille du vent
- La Lumière d'Ixo
- La Spirale du temps
- La Proie et l'ombre
- Les Archanges de Vinéa
- Le Feu de Wotan
- Le Canon de Kra

- While I can't blame the originator for this AfD or his reasoning, I believe that these shouldn't be deleted. These are books that have been continuously in print since their first appearance over 30 years ago (for the first titles), have been collected in larger editions as well, and have been translated in many languages (at least Dutch, German, English, Finnish, Spanish, Danish, Norwegian, Indonesian, ...) But, in general, children's comics don't get many newspaper reviews, and more importantly, French-language newspaers are mostly absent from Google searches due to disputes (copyright, reproduction, that kind of thing). This means that these comics are severely underrepresented online (in reliable sources I mean), even when they do have sources off-line. So, I can't support the deletion for this reason, but I can't really oppose this AfD either becaue's I can't present the evidence for my assertions... Fram (talk) 15:02, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
- Potential sources: [1] and perhaps this for Les Trois soleils de Vinéa. The book A propos de Yoko Tsuno also has info on many of these. This looks like a potential source for La Fille du vent. And this may be a good source for L'Or du Rhin. Fram (talk) 15:19, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
- Note also that La Forge de Vulcain won the 1974 Prix Saint-Michel for best comic, which is the most important comics award in Belgium. Fram (talk) 07:27, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

DELETE. Absolutely no sourcing whatsoever. No evidence of notability. Delete each article and restore only when reliable sources are provided. Doduf (talk) 03:23, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- Merge into Yoko Tsuno. Not seeing how deletion will benefit if brief explanations of the issues can be created in Yoko Tsuno with a related "list" template. At that point, all if the nominated titles could serve as redirects to the sections in Yoko Tsuno. Steel1943 (talk) 16:48, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

- Merge into Yoko Tsuno per Steel1943. While individual comics may not be notable, a list of books with uncontroversial verifiable facts about them, such as title, author and year published, would make a good addition to Yoko Tsuno page; per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD a merge of verifiable material is preferred to deletion. In fact, a list of the books is already at Yoko Tsuno#Albums, so it would be mostly establishing the redirects and merging any other verifiable material. --Mark viking (talk) 23:36, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
