Code Lyoko around the world

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Removed prod. Article exists to list all 160 counties that play a cartoon called Code Lyoko. Wikipedia is not a collection of random information such as this. I suggest the fact be mentioned in the main article, link to the source, and delete this page. mboverload @ 05:49, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment- WTF is your deal, man? This article hasn't even existed for half an hour, and it's still being worked on, which is hard to do when I'm likely to have edit conflicts all the time because of you and your BS. GIVE IT A CHANCE to exist. You're incredibly rude and impatient. RhoLyokoWarrior (talk) 05:54, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:CIVIL.  Corvus cornix  talk  05:59, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Concur that it was premature to AfD. However, delete as WP is not TV Guide even if it were to reach its fullest potential. I'm not even sure this content is notable enough to be worthy to include in the parent. If the goal is to prove the program's popularity by listing the networks and countries that have it, that's WP:OR...just get an cite saying how many have it for the main article.

 * Respectfully disagree. There was no need to wait as it would be impossible for this to evolve into a proper Wikipedia page. Prod was removed.  I'm open to suggestions though, how would you have handled it? (not sarcastic, I'm willing to learn) --mboverload @  06:03, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I disagree with "impossible". Unlikely, I'm sure. But at least in principle a discussion of the international audience and cultural impact of a children's television show could have enough content to warrant it's own article. Of course, somehow I doubt Code Lyoko is in the same class as Sesame Street. No real harm in giving the author an opportunity to try to develop into more than a list of broadcasters though.

 * I would have waited a few hr--added tags for notability and whatever other PROD issues, put a comment that the page seemed hopeless on its talk. Normal editors would use that as a cue to explain why the page should stand, or merge it back in from whence it forked, or somehow else edit collaboratively (sometimes they realize the problem and delete the page themselves!). Normal editors aren't prone to lashing out and getting themselves blocked repeatedly for it. I didn't realize the history here until after I wrote the above. AfD is certainly a way to force the issue into the public view, which seems to have been necessary here. DMacks (talk) 06:19, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you both for explaining your views to me. Next time I will just stick the page in my Outlook calendar to check back in a day or two after adding some tags.  Thanks. --mboverload @  06:21, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete wholly unnecessary breakout article of a barely notable cartoon. JuJube (talk) 06:10, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Question: Is there any truth to the assertion "Code Lyoko, France's most popular Television show of alltime"?  Corvus cornix  talk  06:14, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete not really notable LegoKontribsTalkM 06:14, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unnecessary spin-out. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 08:24, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, game guide stuff. Guy (Help!) 08:29, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete for being unnotable and violating WP:NOT in a number of ways. At its best it is a section in the main article. Jasynnash2 (talk) 08:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I suppose there is an outlying possibility that a notable article could be written on this subject, but it strikes me as extraordinarily unlikely. This sort of content is meant to be included as a part of the main series article, with the only exceptions being cases of historically important authors where their global impact has been a subject of scholarly study, i.e. International reception of Tolkien. --erachima talk 09:06, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This is something to mention on the main Code Lyoko page. It doesn't really merit it's own page.  Whispe ring  09:43, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
