Talk:Satoshi Kon

message: The article says that Satoshi Kon "only takes on projects that he himself creates", but Paprika is based on a novel with the same name written by Tsutsui Yasutaka.  Anyone mind if I take out that sentence?  --72.43.103.251 18:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The only information we have from a semi-reputable source confirming Kon's death is based on information taken from Twitter. I don't think this is verifiable, and thus I move that it be removed until better information is available. 71.111.148.29 (talk) 19:11, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Staff for the anime convention Otakon posted a message that they confirmed with Madhouse that Kon passed away suddenly.

replies: text: Your sources (epochtimes) claims UK Anime News Network as source for the cause of death being cancer.  UK ANN makes no such claim.  It's very possible it was Cancer given a sudden death at a young age, but EpochTimes seems to be assuming. DrForester (talk) 04:43, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

text: Check the actual citation, the one from epoch. He died of cancer. LiteralKa (talk) 04:11, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The Epoch article cites the cancer source as UK Anime News Network.  "Satoshi Kon, a highly acclaimed Japanese anime director, died suddenly of cancer on Monday evening, said UK Anime Network News."  There is no such claim at UK Anime News Network, other than the report of his death.  I don't know where they're getting cancer from.  We should avoid jumping to conclusions until there is a source for his cause of death.  All that's known is that his death was announced on August 23. DrForester (talk) 04:39, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

text: Just to clarify, the referenced asahi.com article states he died of . Just posting this so the section has a conclusion. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 15:50, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Coverage 

message: Twice this month, tweets by director Duncan Jones making reference to watching Paranoia Agent have been added to the "Western media eulogies and acknowledgments" section of the article. While Duncan Jones is notable, the fact that he watched something is not encyclopedic content unless he (or notable others) cite it as an influence of his. If anyone disagrees, please explain your argument. Otherwise I will continue to remove this statement and any similar to it from the article. -Ornithopter (talk) 18:15, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I support continued removal of such tweets (or any others like them). Tweets are generally not reliable sources or encyclopedic, regardless of who made them. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:08, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
