Zootopia (franchise)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article doesn't provide much detail that Zootopia-related articles do not already currently provide/link to.

An earlier version of this page was nominated for deletion (and [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2016_December_16#Template:Zootopia_.28franchise.29 later deleted]).

The majority of the content referred to is common to Disney films - a graphics novel, 'The Art of ...', and the addition of characters to Disney video games. This is not exclusive to Zootopia. The others referred to are red linked, and Zootopia 2 has not been announced yet by the studio. MidnightObservation (talk) 06:23, 31 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete, as it could hardly be called a franchise at this point, especially considering that its' sequel isn't even confirmed yet, much less released. Verified Cactus (talk) 17:00, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, because it is all just rumors. 68.233.214.74 (talk) 22:03, 31 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete – Looks like a WP:TOOSOON situation to me. I nominated a similar article last year; essentially, having only one or two films does not typically generate coverage that is about the franchise as a whole. Instead, the majority of coverage is specifically centered around specific elements of the franchise – in this case, the majority of available coverage is specifically centered around Zootopia, the first and only film in the franchise. Only when there has been significant discussion in reliable sources about the impact of the whole franchise (see, for example, the franchise article for Star Wars) should there be a standalone article that is about the whole franchise. Otherwise, standalone franchise articles would merely duplicate information that can already be found at (or could be added to) the individual film articles. Accordingly, I would instead recommend adding information about the book and spin-off media somewhere in the Zootopia article. Mz7 (talk) 22:25, 31 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Make Draft namespace page: If it is determined to keep this information, a Draft namespace page could be made. Charlotte Allison (Morriswa) (talk) 23:23, 31 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. No justification for the article's existence this early on. Sro23 (talk) 01:13, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
