How we track dub status.
Every claim about a dub is stored with the source that made it and the date it was made. A status is never written directly — it is derived from that evidence, so we can always tell you why an answer is what it is, and admit when we do not know.
DATA SOURCES
Reports that a dub can actually be played, and often how far it has got.

A community submission that an editor has checked and approved.
A voice cast recorded for a language. Good evidence a dub exists, but silent on where to watch it and usually months or years behind broadcast. Data from Anime News Network.

HOW A STATUS IS DECIDED
An editor's manual override wins outright. Otherwise the strongest class of evidence decides: a streaming catalogue reporting no English audio track beats a voice-cast credit implying otherwise, because one describes what you can play and the other describes who was hired.
Within a class, each source is reduced to its most recent report, so a feed that runs weekly cannot outvote one that ran once. Confidence then comes from agreement between independent sources — two unrelated feeds concurring is worth more than one asserting loudly — and is reduced when sources disagree.
Evidence expires. Each source has a lifetime, shown above; a claim loses value as it ages and is ignored entirely once past it. A title whose evidence has all expired goes back to unknown and is re-checked, rather than keeping the last thing we happened to believe.
STATUS VALUES
dubbedA dub is available in this language now.
in_productionDubbing is confirmed to be under way.
announcedA dub is confirmed but not out yet.
noneA source checked and reported no dub.
unknownNo source has reported on this title yet. Not the same as no dub, and no longer displayed as one.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
English is best covered. Other languages depend on which sources report them, and many titles have no report at all — those read 'not checked' rather than 'sub only'.
Voice-cast databases are edited by volunteers and are usually months or years behind a dub's release, so they are weighted below sources that track availability directly.
A dub's episode progress is only shown when a source actually reported it. We no longer infer it from a show's total episode count.
Sources run on a schedule, not in real time. The last run for each is shown above, so you can see how fresh an answer is.
