Naruto manga chapters edit
The Naruto manga is written by Masashi Kishimoto and published by Shueisha in Weekly Shōnen Jump. The series began its serialization in the issue 43 from 1999. Shueisha later collects these chapters in tankōbon bound volumes. The first 244 chapters are known as Part I, and constitute the first part of the Naruto storyline. All subsequent chapters belong to Part II, which continues the storyline from Part I after a two and a half year timeskip. Viz Media licenses the Naruto manga for an English adaptation in North America, where it is serialized in the American Shonen Jump and released in volume format.

There was a misunderstanding with the demotion of the former FT. The nominator of the demotion probably was not aware that the articles for Part II was split because the list was too large. Splitting a list for size reasons does not automatically demote the list being split, at least that was not the case for List of The Simpsons episodes (seasons 1-20). --MCMLXXXIX 18:42, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
- Director comment' - I just looked at the talk page for Part II, volumes 49–72) and it looks like it isn't supposed to be a Featured List since it wasn't even nominated. The article being listed as featured is misleading. GamerPro64 18:51, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
- @GamerPro64: Did you read the talk page fully? Contents from the list was split from the original Part II list, which is a featured list. Like I've said before, splitting a list for size reasons does not automatically demote the list being split, at least that was not the case for List of The Simpsons episodes (seasons 1-20).-- MCMLXXXIX 18:55, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Giants2008, PresN, and The Rambling Man: Pinging the delegates and director of Featured Lists to understand what the precedent is about splitting lists because I have never heard this before. GamerPro64 19:13, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
- Hmm. There's not really a strong precedent, unfortunately. A lot of FLs grow over time, and we don't have any sort of system for periodic reviews of growing lists, so that's a point in favor of size-splitting not causing an issue. On the flip side, when the list was promoted in 2008 (8-9 years ago), it was Chapters 28-40, meaning that the newly split list contains only content that was not reviewed. As such, I'd personally view it not so much as that the existing FL grew so much that it needed to be split, but that the source material grew so much that another list had to be created to hold it all. My conclusion would be that part II part 2 does not inherit the FL status of the original list in this case, and needs a new FLC. (Also, it really bugs me that neither Part II list links to the other in the lead.) --PresN 19:51, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
- After hearing from one of the delegates at Featured List, I am closing this nomination with no consensus to promote. I recommend taking the other list to Featured List so it can be evaluated properly. GamerPro64 16:37, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
