[edit]This page should not be speedily deleted because "this is a real show, and there's full proof of it" --MisterAnimagicDcuzco (talk) 20:44, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
- The question is not whether it exists, it's whether it's notable. If you can put forward more in-depth reliable sources about it, please do so. I just did a newspaper search, and the only reference I could find that was not a TV listing was the caption of a photo of the host of this show appearing on another show. --Nat Gertler (talk) 22:10, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
- Ok thanks for that! MisterAnimagicDcuzco (talk) 16:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
- Just added a few sources, is that good? MisterAnimagicDcuzco (talk) 16:38, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
- Adding sources is inherently good, but this does not get past the concerns. The TV Guide thing is a database, which is good for showing that something exists but is not good for showing its notable. The Amazon page, being an ad page for the DVDs, similarly proves existence but not notability (Some folks would actually remove the source because it's an ad page.)
- This eBay listing shows the claim of an award, which may contribute to notability, although I suspect it is a minor award (simply because I've not heard of it.) Perhaps more useful: according to the show's end credits, it's based on Wild Animal Baby magazine.... which already has an article. The best route might be to have a section on that Wikipedia page about the TV series (probably not a full listing), and then make this page a redirect to that one. That would keep from having to prove full notability for the show itself, although would probably not get to keep the episode listing. Sound good? -- Nat Gertler (talk) 19:16, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead and been bold, integrating material from this page into the magazine's page, and changing this page so that it redirects there. That way, people will still be able to find information if they come to Wikipedia searching for this one series. (As a bonus, it keeps the history of this page available; the old version can be restored if sufficient material for notability is found.) -- Nat Gertler (talk) 19:31, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
