 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   Keep - While barely a majority favors keeping over merger or deletion, the argument is stronger that it was virtually unique in that the character spoke, than favoring deletion. Bearian (talk) 18:47, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Pink Ice‎‎

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested PROD. A quick search engine test only shows unreliable sources or trivial mentions, but no significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, so it does not meet the general notability guideline. The article does not provide reliable secondary sources that make analytic or evaluative claims about the cartoon, so there is no evidence to presume the cartoon is notable as a stand-alone topic or that it meets any of the additional notability criteria for films, and, therefore, it does not merit a stand-alone article.

 * Redirect to The Pink Panther. Merge any decently sourcable content on this short so as to improve the target.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:47, 11 October 2011 (UTC) (changed to merge/redirect to a more suitable target, see below)


 * Delete fails WP:GNG. Stuartyeates (talk) 02:03, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * And do you feel redirecting it to, or merging sourcable content to, the one place where it has context somehow does not serve the project or its readers?  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 07:53, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I feel that 124 such redirects would be unhelpful and probably unmaintainable, yes. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:33, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * So who suggested 124 redirects? I suggested this ONE because creation of the article indicates that at least one editor is interested in the topic of one of the only two Pink Panther animations (out of the 124) ever where the Panther is actually given dialog. That circumstance stands out as unique.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:44, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect to Pink Panther (character) per my own rebuttal to a wish to not redirect, my subsequent WP:AFTER, and my recent work done to the article, AND where this film already has a sourced more-than-mention. This article asserts that the short is notable for its rare circumstance of the Panther actualy speaking... and THAT circumstance has verifiability in news sources, and, as reflected in the article, comentary and analysis in multiple books over several years.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 00:22, 16 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge and Redirect as per MichaelQSchmidt. Stuartyeates (talk) 04:07, 16 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Coverage of the Pink Panther series is, I think we agree, a suitable topic for coverage. Now whilst I might not personally wish to write articles on each cartoon, I see no policy-based reason at all why I should stop another editor doing so. This isn't undue detail, it's a stand-alone article. This isn't wasting valuable wiki-space, we're WP:NOTPAPER.  Additionally, the point that this is the one cartoon where the Panther character has dialogue is significant. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:25, 16 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep agreed with Andy Dingley. Dontforgetthisone (talk) 23:22, 16 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - there probably should be a List of Pink Panther Show episodes (a la List of Young Justice episodes, List of Danny Phantom episodes, et-cetera), with all of these articles merged and redirected to it. But there currently isn't; until there is, this should be kept. Also agree that, since the Panther talks in this cartoon (something he never did in all other Pink Panther media until 1993) makes it significant indeed. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:06, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
