 * Comment Found one RS review at Common Sense Media . Not enough on its own, but perhaps a start. Donald D23   talk to me  14:55, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Draftify Not enough references and no receptions. just voice cast and that's not enough for an article. Gellerman (Talk) 22:41, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Relisting comment: The last AFD resulted in a move to Draft space. If this move is repeated, will it end up back at AFD for a third go-round? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 04:05, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Leave Through my experience with English Wikipedia, I've dealt with too many ridiculous deletions of pages related to popular franchises. I can't believe that it's not possible to find a notable source about a Tom and Jerry movie. Perhaps some of the rules have to be changed instead of deleting pages like this? --Дейноніх (talk) 13:17, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

But that was so easy to find that I'm sure WP:BEFORE process would have shown them to the nominator, so that makes me think maybe these sources aren't good enough? Can the nominator please say something about that, because I don't know what the normal sources might be for a cartoon movie. Certainly DAWN seems solid. CT55555 (talk) 04:57, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Uncertain comment Google throws up sources that suggest it's notable:

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The review notes: "It's a perfectly fine movie for its targeted audience. Interestingly, the titular cat and mouse don't even come across as the stars of their own movie. There's one distinct sequence near the beginning where Tom chases Jerry, but in the rest of the movie they're overshadowed by Jerry's nephews, the prairie dogs, other cats, the sheriff, and all the other humans. It's nothing new, but kids are likely to enjoy the silly antics."  The review notes: "Want to watch an animated film that is both musical and comical, with a touch of the Wild West? Turn to Tom and Jerry: Cowboy Up, for it is an amalgamation of all three genres. This flick can only be termed as a God-sent for those who had been waiting for an action-adventure animation with songs and lots of fun, for it caters to them exclusively." Less significant coverage:  The review notes: "“TOM AND JERRY COWBOY UP”: Two of animation’s most classic characters play their literal cat-and-mouse game again in this made-for-home-video attraction that, as the title should indicate, has a Western theme. They try to help two siblings protect their land against someone who’s intent on taking it away from them, and they get assistance from both relatives and complete strangers in the quest. Though there are some nods to contemporary humor along the way, by and large, the story sticks to the time-tested elements that have kept Tom and Jerry audience favorites since they were created by cartoon titans William Hanna and Joseph Barbera more than 80 years ago. *** (Also on Digital)" <li> The article notes: "Cartoon comedy’s iconic cat and mouse duo is back in action in Tom and Jerry Cowboy Up, the all-new, full-length animated family film set for release on Digital and DVD ($14.99 SRP / $19.99 SRP Canada) on January 25, 2022 by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, Tom and Jerry Cowboy Up finds the rip-roaring duo in the wild west where they help save a ranch from the hands of a greedy villain."</li> <li> The article notes: "Tom and Jerry was created in 1940 by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Now, 82 years later, the latest release of the famous cat and mouse team – Tom and Jerry Cowboy Up! – is available on DVD. This 75-minute animated movie finds Tom and Jerry working to save a ranch owned by a brother and sister from an evil land-grabber. Helping out are Jerry’s three nephews as well as numerous prairie dogs. But can they all work together to defeat the greedy man who wants their ranch in this western adventure that includes several songs?"</li> <li> The article notes: "“Tom and Jerry Cowboy Up!”: Unlike last year’s “Tom and Jerry” movie, which combined live action and animation, this new straight-to-video feature is fully animated. It’s a mild Western, with Tom and Jerry teaming up to help save a family ranch from a villainous land baron. It’s strictly for kids. There are no celebrity voices, no rude humor and not even much cartoon violence — Tom gets tossed around and smooshed a bit, and that’s it. There also are a few original songs, all sung by prairie dogs, and some life lessons, such as family sticks together and never sit on a rattlesnake."</li> </li></ol> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Tom and Jerry: Cowboy Up! to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Keep in view of the additional reliable sources coverage identified above including two reviews and other coverage so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:44, 14 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep - having thought about it for a few days and seeing no objections to my sources above. CT55555 (talk) 02:21, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
