Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Cartoon


 * 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   delete. While the pure votecount is evenly matched on each side, Herostratus's comment is pretty much a delete !vote, and vinciusmc/meshach's proofs by assertion fail to impress. I have considered this closure carefully and will not be amending it; feel free to DRV if you disagree. Stifle (talk) 10:05, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

The Cartoon

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Procedural nom, contested prod. The article was previously unreferenced and consisting entirely of plot summary and trivia. The user who contested the prod added three references which contain little more than the same plot summary and trivia. One of them is a primary source and the other two are not reliable secondary sources. Still no evidence that this episode is particularly notable.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete The sources mention it either in passing or not at all. Not enough to satisfy WP:N. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 00:46, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * So should we delete all the articles in Category:Seinfeld episodes? meshach (talk) 20:20, 4 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Cruft. We have articles on all the other Seinfeld episodes, it appears. Future generations will doubtless thank us. Herostratus (talk) 04:19, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I was here looking to close this AfD, but when I had a quick look at the sources for the article (as obviously that is one of the issues here), I found that most of them are very minor mentions (like "Remember the Seinfeld episode where she draws a cartoon that was a recycled Ziggy cartoon? Well..." - not about the episode itself). I do not see that this episode meets the criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia with the coverage available. --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 08:41, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
