The result was   speedy delete all WP:CSD blatant hoax. There does seem to be one 6-minute video some kid uploaded to Vimeo, but the guff about teaching "a wide variety of issues 6th and 12th grade children face", and the number of articles being created (List of episodes, Season 1, templates etc) take this into the category of "hoax we shouldn't any waste more time on".

I am unable to find any sources on this show which leads me to believe it is either not notable or doesn't exist. This deletion nomination also includes the following dependent pages: Even if the main article is kept I think all of the dependent pages listed above should for deleted regardless as they appear unnecessary. -- Patchy1 02:11, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Classic Folkmanis (season 1)
 * List of episodes of Classic Folkmanis
 * Template:Classic Folkmmanis (appears to be just a typo)
 * Template:Classic Folkmanis

 * Delete can't find anything on the series, although the soft toy exists, so I'm concluding that either this article is premature or it's a hoax  Ohconfucius  ping / poke 03:06, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * It appears to be a Web series hosted on Vimeo. In the absence of reliable sources to the contrary, said series does not appear to meet our requirements for reliable secondary coverage at this time. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 16:17, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I think the Folkmanis puppets (the ones being sold) are unrelated to this - they've been going for 35 years and look quite genuine. I think the name has been pinched for this Vimeo thing. The idea of using puppets to address problems that 12th grade students have is bizarre to me. 6th grade has me doubting... The cast list of two totally unknown people and the lack of real info make me think it well enough not known to be deleted. Peridon (talk) 20:33, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Have just been looking at the puppets at Folkmanis - I'm almost tempted to replace my little rabbit with a new one from them. Peridon (talk) 20:37, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
