I was wondering why it is so hard to get a page made about these four different series. I want to have manga pages for all the mangas in the game Jump Ultimate Stars (All Serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump). I have requested pages for them before but with no results. I will explain the cases of each series.

Jungle King Taa-chan
There is already an anime in the database for this series. I think it is pretty old. (anime#119)
Now, the game Jump Ultimate Stars is based on MANGAS, so a manga for this series must exist. (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/ajuj/character/chara_13.html)

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
This is a fairly new Shonen Jump Series. It so far has 8 volumes. (http://jump.shueisha.co.jp/neuro/) It has a wikipedia page with a picture of the cover and a plot summary. It also has many other facts about it. More than enough to deserve a page. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majin_Tantei_Nougami_Neuro)

Muhyo to Rouji no Mahoritsu Soudan Jimusou
Another fairly new series in the same boat as Neuro. It has 8 volumes as well. (http://jump.shueisha.co.jp/muhyo/) It has no wikipedia page, but it is mentioned on the wiki for Jump Ultimate Stars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_Ultimate_Stars#Represented_Series). I have read scanlations of this series so it must exist.

Taizo Mote King Saga
This is another new series. It doesn't have as much information on it as the other three, but still. It deserves a page. It is on the popjump page in the upper right hand corner with the riceball shaped head. (http://jump.shueisha.co.jp/home.html) It is mentioned on the JUS wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_Ultimate_Stars#Represented_Series). It is also on the JUS site (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/ajuj/character/chara_17.html). I did find the volumes on Amazon though (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4088742540/ref=nosim/accessuporg-22).


I think all four of these series deserve a page. And also, the page for Tattemo Luckyman should be linked to the Weekly Shonen Jump Page, because it is also in the game. (manga#4687), (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/ajuj/character/chara_22.html)

First, because there are something like 600-700 titles in the queue for approval. Second, anime is a higher priority than manga and there are criteria for priority adds.

So if I wanted to get, say the new Manga, Blue Dragon by Takeshi Obata (Artist of Death Note and Hikaru No Go) in the encyclopedia, it'd be a lot easier?
