Punch-Out!! (anime)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seems rather fake. Searching on Google News for [http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=%22Punch-Out!!%22+anime&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=%22Punch-Out!!%22+anime&hl=en&client=ubuntu&hs=1yE&tbo=d&channel=fs&tbm=nws&tbas=0&source=lnt&sa=X&ei=gJS7UI7JC8my0QGb7oG4BQ&ved=0CBgQpwUoAA&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=88f208b2e9690a32&bpcl=39314241&biw=1317&bih=678 ''"punch-out!!" anime''] retrieves only one false positive. Since the supposed series has a release date of 2014, it's likely that anything in Google News archives or Google Books is a false positive. Also, you'd expect sites like IGN to be abuzz with news of such a show, but hits on the WP:VG/S search look like false positives, too. CtP (t • c) 17:58, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Too many false positives and Disney Channel generally doesn't deal with outside projects or properties based on video game properties outside of Marvel, nor have they ever dealt with anime in any manner.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 23:42, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, Disney aired K-On! in Japan, and have a famous relationship with Studio Ghibli. They're not outsiders to the world of anime. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 05:24, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Clarification You are correct that Disney does deal with anime and Ghibli; thank you for the correction, though what is correct that Disney Channel generally doesn't deal with anime (Starz usually gets it all through their Disney output deal).  Nate  • ( chatter ) 09:44, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Even if this is proven not to be fake, it fails WP:Notability I can say I see it as a Too soon case. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:06, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or possible Redirect to Punch-Out!! with a mention of the series there, if that can even be sourced. All the above reasons are why. — WylieCoyote 00:29, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Without reliable sources about the project, or even about if it will exist, then I don't think this should have an article. No prejudice against recreation if, and only if, sources prove that it will be made. Also, technically this wouldn't be an anime since it would be made by an American company despite having elements of Japanese animation, similar to some Nickelodeon shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.
