Here I store away stuff that could probably come back in later months/years. Personally, ProjectYGO shouldn't get deleted out, but whatever. Card Maker Wiki already hates my creativity, so this probably wont bother me as much

Project YGO
ProjectYGO (a.k.a. Project Yu-Gi-Oh!, Project Yuugiou, TeamYGO, P-YGO) is a non-profit production studio who proposed to do a fan dub on the entire series of Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters, and previously a subsidiary of Otaku Dragon Studios (ODS), led by Sakasa Jin'ei, who first began the project.

History
Back in the summer of 2008, Sakasa held an open casting call for amateur voice actors by posting an advertisement video on YouTube. This video was brought to the attention of LittleKuriboh, who showed such diversity in his audition that was posted as a video response and as result, over 400 other YouTube users began submitting video responses.

Overwhelmed, Sakasa began recruiting willing volunteers from the YouTube community to help her go through auditions. And thus, ProjectYGO was born. TitanAura, Jessica and ShiroKaisen are a few who have taken active part since the project began, including a few others who willingly stepped forward to supply raw footage, script adaptation and sound effects.

Before episode one was release, Sakasa departed from ProjectYGO unexpectedly, leaving many fans wondering whether the project would be successful without her. Following her departure, asw (a.k.a. Fexy-Chan), who voiced Dark Yuugi in episode one, also left the project which was rumored to be the same resolve.

Weeks after episode one's release, TitanAura reassembled staff and addressed issues regarding the state of the project and announced that "... ShiroKaisen and I will become co-directors." He also went on to confirm that LittleKuriboh is taking part in the project by supplying the voice for Grandpa Sugoroku Mutou.

It has also been confirmed that contraire to popular belief, LittleKuriboh requested to voice Sugoroku Mutou.

ProjectYGO continues their fan dubbing efforts by carrying on in the production of the Battle City Arch, ultimately skipping Duelist Kingdom entirely, which had a lot of fans speaking out against this decision. It was later clarified that the producers plan to return to the episodes they skipped and will later dub those as well. It's a process that has confused the vast majority of their fan base.

Nevertheless, "... the good outweighs the bad ..."

On August 25, 2009, inspired by Sakasa and ProjectYGO, Anthony L., producer of Golden Star Studios, announced he would be bringing Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's to YouTube, uncut and uncensored.

On November 01, 2009, Sakasa Jin'ei made a formal announcement regarding her participation in bringing Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's to YouTube in association with Anthony L. featuring the voices of MasakoX (DragonBall Z: The Abridged Series), ShadyVox (Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The Abridged Series), sonicmega and MotlyFool.

Arguments
Just a question, how is this not notable enough? It's all over YouTube and I have been watching since this project began. I even spoke to the project director herself!!!! Personally, ProjectYGO is well known and they do an awesome job! So, why is this being considered for deletion? I'm a big fan of ProjectYGO and I'm only showing my appreciation for them both.

Here is proof that it's been a big deal, there are YouTube videos all over the net regarding the project.

So, I am asking that you please reconsider this page and keep it on-line. Fans should know how ProjectYGO started and how the group will continue their work from here on in. At the very least it's YGO Related and it involves LITTLEKURIBOH! I think that is reason enough.

 * It's got about 3000 subscribers. If I asked fans of Yu-Gi-Oh! about this series, the majority wouldn't know about it. The fact that it had to be written by someone acquainted with the people involved usually means it's not notable and is just there for free publicity. Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series is one of the very few fanworks that has an article on this site. It has hundreds of thousands of fans and pretty much everyone in the online fandom knows about, even by those who aren't fans. There is a line of Yu-Gi-Oh! fan works with much more popularity than this series that don't even have articles; Shriek, Janime etc.
 * I would wait a few months to see if the project remains active, the amount of subscribers goes high into the 5 digits and becomes much more well known and spoken of before giving it an article. -- Deltaneos (talk) 11:41, November 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, I see!! Okay then, thanks!

 * I agree with you User:Deltaneos we should not have space on the server wasted on a not so popular fanwork DaywalkerAA 11:58, November 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * We wouldn't actually be wasting space. Wikia will provide us with as much space as we need. But so we don't have people posting all sorts of original content, we only allow for official notable aspects of Yu-Gi-Oh! -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:47, November 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * To be fair, it's hard to say that when we have so much Abridged content. Danny Lilithborne 23:12, November 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * As a member of the project, I would also say that ProjectYGO is not popular enough yet for an article and am pretty much in agreement with Deltaneos on the matter. Danny Lilithborne 12:11, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
