Not notable.

Google search with "Petite Prince manga" turns up scanlators and blogs.
Google search with "Pachi Puri manga" turns up scanlators.
Both anime manga custom google search 1 and 2 turn up no hits. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 23:23, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't see where this particular manga is really notable as far as Wikipedia's guidelines for books go. It hasn't been officially released in English and a look at Japanese sources (using Google Translate) brings up little as well. I'd recommend a redirect to the author's page, but I can't really find much on her page to suggest notability as well. There is some merit in using the name as a redirect to the completely unrelated book "The Little Prince" since the original French title is "Le Petit Prince" and it's reasonable enough to assume that someone would type in "Petite Prince" trying to navigate to the French novel.

Changing vote to just "delete" per the comments below. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:18, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The standard Romanization of the katakana title is Puchi Puri. I see no reason for having a letter 'e' in "Petite". Where did that come from? --Lambiam 10:34, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No idea. Must've been a fansub and the editor just copied it. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 22:47, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That would make a lot of sense. Since this is the case, I have no issue with it being a redirect for the Little Prince. As far as the "e" goes, I think it might just be the person writing it being more familiar with the Western/English spelling of "petite" rather than the French spelling "petit".

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete per nom, or redirect to The Little Prince per Tokyogirl. Ansh666 00:53, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No sources, no established notability. Plot and characters are at best like trivia since the article lacks any real relevant information about the material. Red Phoenix ^{build the future...}^{remember the past...} 01:08, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't see this passing WP:N. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:54, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I see nothing that would demonstrate notability under WP:GNG, most sources are scans of prints. hmssolent\^{You rang?} _{ship's log} 06:40, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
