Talk:The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (novel)

message: Since this article's scope is strickly under The Melancholy, i.e. the first novel in the series and its many adaptations, I propose that elements of the article that do not strickly pertain to The Melancholy be moved to Haruhi Suzumiya (light novels) where the information pertains to all the novels, and not just the first one. Sections that would apply to this would be the SOS Brigade and Affiliations.--十八 00:15, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've always thought that the organization of this article was a bit confused (and confusing).  I was under the impression that this article was primarily about the anime and the novel of the same name, while the novels in general were in their own article already....

replies: text: The anime covers book 1 and briefly touches up on Books 2 and 3. KyuuA4 07:59, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The anime covers all of volume one as well as three short stories from volume three(Boredom, Mysterique Sign, Lone Island Syndrome), one short story from volume five(The Day of Sagittarius), and two short stories from volume six(Live A Live, Asahina Mikuru's Adventure). The anime doesn't directly cover  any of volume two. Just to make things clear.GreatGlistener 01:36, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

text: In the Light Novel page, there's actually discussion about merging that article with this one.  And as far as Book 1's content... um yea.  They're rather mixed into this article, aren't they?  I was proposing using this article as the main article to the Haruhi series - both anime and light novel.  To be included are the "Who's who", descriptions character groups involved (like the Agency), Settings, media information (games, music, etc.), and fan reception.  As for Plot information, might as well bring that stuff over to the novels. KyuuA4 08:09, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, and oddly enough.  We're generally stuck with the standardized naming system regarding anime, huh?  I had a short consideration for renaming this article to Haruhi Suzumiya series.  I doubt that would work though. KyuuA4 08:11, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed move 

message: This manga is classified as Seinen in the article, but is listed as both Shounen and Seinen in their respective articles. It is out of alphabetical order in the Seinen article, however, placed just below Sketchbook. Should this manga be classified both as shounen and seinen, or should it be removed from the shounen list?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Relambrien (talk • contribs)

:: My bad, it was late at night and I ended up thinking I put it at the bottom and signed it when it turns out I didn't. Perhaps I shouldn't look at Wikipedia at 1 AM anymore. Relambrien 00:13, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Shonen and Seinen are not genres, but demographics. The manga runs in a shonen magazine, while the novels are in a magazine that sells to an older audience. I'm of the opinion that all of these words do not apply to light novels at all, but Western fans tend to like to apply them even when they aren't used by Japanese speakers.

replies: text:  It appears I confused the terms in my tired state, sorry about that. Considering what you said, should the demographic part be taken out of the article entirely? Relambrien 00:13, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  That would probably just lead to edit warring. There are a few editors who reeeeally like those terms and can't be convinced they don't apply. I'd stick with seinen rather than shonen, since the novels are the original work here. Doceirias 00:49, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Genre Confusion? 

message: I think the classical parts should be mentioned.
Rather said...I want to know which parts they are, there is no info to be found anywhere...
:That information is already found at The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (anime)#Music.--十八 20:48, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
