The Adventures of Paddy the Pelican

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable cartoon TV show E. Fokker (talk) 23:22, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep It seems to be notable for being such a bad cartoon. It was released on DVD as part of a collection called "Worst Cartoons Ever." Regent of the Seatopians (talk) 02:26, 1 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - No significant coverage about this cartoon series to establish notability. Inclusion in a DVD compilation by itself is insufficient to establish this as notable. -- Whpq (talk) 14:10, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Found some interesting links:
 * - Video of movie
 * & - IMDB listings (not much there)
 * - DVD index
 * & - reviews
 * & - reviews from a blacklisted site?  (came up when I tried to add to talk page). I broke the links by replacing suite101 with zzz.
 * Now, reviewing all of these links doesn't show you much. I am not saying that it should. However, we are talking about a film series that pre-dates the internet by 40 years. That these films are still being discussed today tells you something. Notability_(films) clearly states "The film is historically notable, as evidenced by one or more of the following:", of which it meets "Publication of at least two non-trivial articles, at least five years after the film's initial release." and "The film was featured as part of a documentary, program, or retrospective on the history of cinema." Give the age of this film, I was surprised to find as much as I did online. Before people start bashing me for WP:RS, the policy states blogs should not used for living persons because they are considered opinions. Reviews are opinions, and you are not going to find professional reviewers online reviewing a film from 60 years ago without going to hard copy. Turlo Lomon (talk) 15:35, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
