Saiyuki
Source & notability unknown. Saiyuki itself is notable; it is the Japanese title of a famous Chinese classic novel, known as Journey to the West in English. So it should be relevant to this novel, but here is our problem. It is probably an English translation either official or fansub of a Japanese adoptation (either manga or manga), but we have no clue to determine the exact version and no one has given such. There are many adoptations in manga, anime and TV shows in Japanese (see ja:w:西遊記)! User:McNoddy claimed it should be taken from Saiyuki (manga), one of recent loose adoptions (in the late 1990s) published in Japan, but his reason seems to me very weak; he judged so because "main characters ... are mentioned in the Wikipdia article (of Saiyuki (manga))", but it should apply for all other adoptations too, so it isn't a good argument in my opinion. Since it seems to be copyrighted as modern adoptation and since its creation no one has shown interest and capability to clean it up, I think we are better to remove it once completely due to its obscure sourcing.--Aphaia 10:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
