This article appears to be original research, drawing original conclusions from existing material. Prod removed without comment by creator without comment or change. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 00:33, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * This section was on the freakin Lilo & Stitch TV Series Page. Are you red-flagging them for this matter. Besides, it was all on television and if you don't believe, watch these episodes for yourself!!!!Disneyvillainman (talk) 00:36, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your reply. It was quite speedy; have you really been able to read and understand our original research policy so quickly?  An understanding of that policy is essential for defending this article; you'll need to show the reliable sources that confirm that this article isn't original research.  The television episodes themselves won't qualify for that; you'll need to look to magazines, newspapers, books, and significant online web sites (ideally, independent of Disney itself).
 * Well, that's a thoughtful and presuasive comment. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 00:39, 31 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, original research synthesized from existing material with additional editorial comment, not encyclopedic. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 00:39, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I have not been able to find any reliable, independent, and secondary sources that employ the term "Disney Animated Universe".  As a result, I believe the article is covering a neologism, and I believe the article should be deleted as a result.  JEdgarFreeman (talk) 01:03, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Original research, and I'm not even sure most of these entries are true to begin with. If they are, they seem to be more 'wink-wink' inside jokes more than actual continuity between the series.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 02:39, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. This is pathetic. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 03:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC))
 * Delete Wikipedia has a ban on "original synthesis" and that's what this is. Basically, the cartoon series Lilo and Stitch has moments where a character from another Disney cartoon appears with Lilo (or Stitch).  The book Wayne's World: Extreme Closeup had an "interview" that Wayne had with Charo, that closed with, "Oh, wait, one more question.  Did you ever notice that Green Acres, Petticoat Junction and The Beverly Hillbillies were all linked in the same reality?" Mandsford (talk) 13:52, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Looks like a possible attempt at creating a Disney version of DC Universe, etc. No indication that this is a term or concept that's being widely used. Just because shows crossover from time to time doesn't mean they necessarily belong to one identified "universe" or canon. I'm willing to revisit my "vote" if reliable sources are added suggesting that Disney is in fact attempting to create a DCU-like situation. Otherwise, as noted, this is OR. (BTW the above example re: Beverley Hillbillies, Green Acres, and Petticoat Junction is actually a bad example because in that case CBS and the producers did consciously set out to create an interrelated "universe" with those shows. A better example might be shows like Empty Nest and Golden Girls and a few others that were artificially linked in the 1980s because of a few ratings-boosting crossovers, but otherwise they shared no common connection. 23skidoo (talk) 01:14, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Actually Empty Nest was a direct spinoff of Golden Girls, taking place in the same neighborhood as the Girls and produced by the same company (Nurses was an Empty Nest spinoff in itself). I know, splitting hairs and all that. The TGIF stunts might be a more perfect comparison to this article, where somehow the kids of Full House had to be subjected to Steve Urkel, and of course the painful 3-D week of 1995 where all the shows made you wear the horrible glasses while they threw things at the camera (I have never recovered).

 * Delete: per WP:OR. Schuym1 (talk) 02:47, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Just reading the article gives me a headache. Original research, and a rather poor one at that -- merely a list of "guest stars" appearing on other Disney series, not true crossovers. -- azumanga (talk) 16:23, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
