Prime time cartoon[edit]

This article was prodded as OR, which it is in large part, as its unifying theme is weak. However, it does have some sourcing, and there may be useful information in here to merge somewhere... though I don't know where. I definitely think more eyes will be helpful here. Anyway, delete as inappropriate article topic. Xoloz 16:07, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article is weak, but concept is at least valid enough that it can be covered in some form. Let's consider [1] for example. Or [2]. Perhaps you'd like a New York Times article? [3] is right there. Maybe [4] for a world-wide perspective. I'd say this is a topic which can make for a decent article, if not in the state it should be. I suppose you could do something like soap opera but that's really just a question of style. FrozenPurpleCube 16:38, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Serious POV issues, and the entire article is full of OR, bias and 1000 other problems, including the title. The CONCEPT of an article about prime time cartoons, however, I think is a valid idea as long as it is based on facts and not opinions about the shows. The article here needs an insane amount of work, but that is a reason to fix it, not delete it. Pharmboy 17:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Needs some cleanup, but actually a good concept about the changing form of animation meant to be watched in Prime Time, from "The Flintstones" to "Family Guy". Authors understand the idea of sourcing, which is a nice surprise in a cartoon article. Mandsford 19:55, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and replace with a category. This is a list of cartoons that were aired during prime time hours. All important content is already in the individuals and I fail to see why we need a summary of this Corpx 04:35, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because other people believe this subject is important enough to write about. It's really not inherently a list (though as lists go, it's hardly any more objectionable than any other list of television shows like that of game shows, or soap operas, or broadcast by ABC. There's a clear criteria. Be on in primetime and be a cartoon. Frankly, I think there should be such a list, because a category can't include dates, air times or networks. Well, not all in one page anyway. FrozenPurpleCube 16:11, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but get out the chainsaw and prune it. As Pharmboy and others touched upon, the concept of prime-time animation is probably worthy of an article, and I'm sure it can be sourced. It's really little more than an indiscriminate list right now, though. I see potential. --UsaSatsui 15:21, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
