Procedural nomination. PROD had a hangon added, which I took to mean the PROD is contested. Consequently bringing here. GedUK  16:12, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Here we go again. The Youtube series mentioned in the latter part has a... storied history on Wikipedia. It was AFDed at least a couple of times under different variants of the title, then kept popping back up under even more variants. WP:SALTing was difficult, as there were a huge number of possible titles under which it could pop up under. Cascading protection was the Salting method of the time, and it ended up with it's own salting page in order to list out all the permutations of the name that we could come up with. It was still a bit of a whack-a-mole game. I think there was at least one page like this as well deleted during that time.

Anyway, that all said, even just as a concept, rather than a specific youtube series, there is absolutely no indication that this type of fan video is in any way notable. - TexasAndroid (talk) 17:36, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some history: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abridged Series, 1st YGO:TAS AFD, 2nd YGO:TAS AFD, and here (admins only, the old, now deleted, list of cascading SALT protections). - TexasAndroid (talk) 17:45, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
