 * Keep Appears to have multiple non-trivial references to RS, meeting GNG. Nominator also doesn't give any indication of having followed WP:BEFORE--the nom appears to be based on the current state of the article, rather than an assertion that a search failed to turn up more RS'es.

 * Keep Unless one slept through the 60s, one was exposed to Rocky. Lots of sources around, I do not see where "only 5" has ever been found as a reason for article deletion.  Cheers. Collect (talk) 13:38, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: No objective evidence that the fictional location meets the general notability guideline since a few sources that repeat the plot of the cartoon are not significant coverage. In my opinion it can only be a plot-only description of a fictional work, since no secondary source appear to provide analytic or evaluative claims about the fictional island to presume that it is notable beyond the plot of the series. The only one perhaps is Lidz (2000), but it is a trivial mention at best and again is with regard to the plot, so I do not believe that a stand-alone article is justified.

 * Note: in "The Mosse That Roared."  in an executive motivational book.   in an illustrated TV encyclopedia.   in a popular culture encyclopedia.   "Foundations of Management Knowledge".    Animation and America.  Anti-Communism and Popular Culture in Mid-Century America.  Showing references in management books, motivational books, books on politics, books on animation and on popular culture in general.   More than just a couple of sources giving a plot, to be sure, and more than enough for Wikipedia notability (indeed, far more sources than most of the popular culture articles on Wikipedia!) Cheers.

 * Keep per User:Collect's masterful rebuttal of the boilerplate rationale posted across multiple AfDs by Jfgslo. --173.241.225.163 (talk) 17:08, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: important part of a fictious world.--NUMB3RN7NE (talk) 04:20, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
