This article has no references and no indication that it is notable. Also, the plot is not written in proper sentences. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:35, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

 *  Delete  - No establishment of notability. Article also contains lifted content possibly from here or here. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:43, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. It's a safe bet that the page was copyvio from the previous sources, given the film came out in 2011 and the page was created Feb 2014. Otherwise, I would argue those sites could be mirrors of this page. That said and aside, it still fails notability and lack of sources (which would probably be the aforementioneds anyway). —  Wylie pedia  14:38, 3 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Correct English title:
 * Comment: The IMDb page goes under the title Le Noël De Walter Et Tandoori, so I'm adding a "find sources" thing for that as well. Since this was part of a television series, it might be worthwhile to create an entry for the series itself and redirect there. Also, can anyone confirm that this film was originally broadcast in English and not French? Or was it a simultaneous release in both languages? Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   11:43, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Correction, IMDb has two separate titles for the movie, one in French and one in English. The French title seems to be dated earlier, so I'm wondering if this wasn't released in French first and English second. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   11:46, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, it looks like there was a live-action version of the cartoon called "Walter 100%".  I'm leaning heavily towards the idea of creating a page for the series/franchise as a whole and redirecting there, but I'm running into a language barrier. Tokyogirl79  (｡◕‿◕｡)   11:59, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The reference desk might be able to make sense of the French content. So the main contributor got the name of the film wrong? It doesn't appear to be Walter's Christmas, rather Walter and Tandoori's Christmas. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:59, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * It appears the contributor got his short title off the "official wbesite", which interestingly includes a trailer and poster with the full English name. LOL.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 01:36, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep (Vote changed. See below) per shown as meeting WP:NF  through found French language sources. and others.  I fully support Tokyogirl79's idea of a later merge, specially as the series as a whole will have more sourcability than the one film.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 13:28, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * This was indeed definitely a French-language series first, per the existing French-language article at fr:Walter (série télévisée). The series as a whole would probably be a valid article topic, but this individual film should probably just be a redirect to that instead of standing alone as a separate article. I'd be happy to assist with the French sources. Merge into a new article about the whole series. Bearcat (talk) 22:53, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Until we have a franchise article, this one can be kept per available sourcing. Sadly, the French Wikipedia article on the series does not include any sourcing. Different Wikipedia, different rules.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 01:36, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, what's really weird is that there was an article about the main series franchise, created on the same day as this one by the same user — but it got speedied for lacking a properly sourced indication of notability. Bearcat (talk) 05:22, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Shame on the speedier. We rarely speedy film articles simply for lacking sources.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 09:57, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Update...one serving of Walter and Tandoori, now ready for delivery. Bearcat (talk) 06:34, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to this new article. Excellent way to deal with an issue. I have struck my vote above. Barnstar well deserved. Thank you. .  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 09:57, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect Good work, Bearcat, and the rest of youse. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:47, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
