Pants Pankuro

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There are a bunch of shorts (90+ on MADB), but hardly any secondary source coverage, only retailers such as CD Japan and of course NHK's website. Can't seem to find the ANN entry either. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 18:08, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment No listing in the 3rd edition of Anime Encyclopaedia, although given the target age of the series perhaps not surprising.SephyTheThird (talk) 18:23, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete I couldn't find any coverage of the show in reliable sources to establish notability. (Though PopSci mentions: "but as a nation that has a cartoon show teaching potty training to kids (check out Pants Pankuro), Japan takes their toilets very seriously" and there's a Google Books hit for Infant Potty Training: A Gentle and Primeval Method Adapted to Modern Living) Searching using the kanji returns mainly retail sites. While this would make an interesting article, unfortunately there isn't enough information on it to write a verifiable article. Opencooper (talk) 07:56, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete It is a bit telling when the article is also tagged over at ja:wiki for having a notability issue. This combined with no sources to be found leaves my opinion as delete. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:07, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't appear to be notable, the ja.wiki point says a lot.SephyTheThird (talk) 21:11, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
