Doraemon in India

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A completely unwarranted article simply because the show is NOT an original Indian series. Syndication of a series in another country, even if it is popular does not require a separate article. The History section of this article, which is the only thing notable in the entire page has already been covered under the Reception section of the series article. The rest of it is general coverage of each Doraemon movie's Indian title and broadcast network. In this case, the presence of sources does not automatically confer notability as most of it is marketing material. Fails WP:GNG, WP:NOTDIRECTORY, WP:RPRGM and WP:SPLIT.

PS: A redirect to any other article will be completely useless as the article is heavily edited by what looks like fans of the show and will likely be removed almost instantaneously.

 * Delete - no evidence of notability and no need for the excessive listing of release dates for Disney Channel and Hungama. Any well sourced and notable info can be merged to the main Doraemon article but it looks like this is already adequately covered so outright deletion is the best option here in my view Spiderone  14:43, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. There is nothing to indicate that the franchise's airing in other countries like this is notable enough to warrant any kind of WP:SPLIT to a separate article.  As stated, the only information potentially worth saving is already present on the main Doraemon article, and this is not a useful term for a Redirect. Rorshacma (talk) 15:08, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per above, article is little more than a list of release dates. I do however find it very interesting that this article has 80,000 views a month, which is more than the article on Doraemon has. – Thjarkur (talk) 19:54, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * 'DO NOT DELETE' this article is helpful for people who cannot access the channel — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4071:E16:E1A3:2877:2DB:B302:E194 (talk) 06:56, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Pure fancruft. Sunshine1191 (talk) 09:38, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Not to Delete this page should be not deleted because this page gives people a faithful information about this show that people can trust. So I request not to delete this page.Chikukiri (talk) 11:58, 12 October 2020 (IST)

 * Redirect to List of non-Japanese Doraemon versions. This seems reasonable given that we have an article about the franchise outside of Japan. Just a note to the closing admin... we have page protection as an option for redirects. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:47, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
