• Dont' delete It's a very popular series and deserves a Wikipedia article. Nintendo Maximus 03:58, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• I'm going to say DELETE unless someone can show that this passes WP:WEB. As for being "a very popular series," if it fails WP:WEB it isn't popular enough. N Shar 05:03, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete What is this doing on Wikipedia--Seadog.M.S 11:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Even if it did pass WP:WEB (which it appears not to), it still fails WP:NOT by virtue of consisting almost entirely of episode summaries. — Haeleth Talk 13:24, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete absent multiple non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources. Guy 14:05, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per my reasoning at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series.--Isotope23 15:01, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this show is hilarious, and I even quote it on my userpage, but there's no way it's notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Danny Lilithborne 16:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete something posted on YouTube is non-notable. --Ineffable3000 22:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as mentioned before it doesn't pass WP:WEB. The target is a copyvio too. I think we have a policy against generally not linking to those in WP:EL. --Kunzite 01:12, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
• Don't Delete Please explain how "Something posted on Youtube is non-notable", when there are articles on Wikipedia about people and their videos that have become notable as a result of being on Youtube. There is plenty of notable YouTube content. In addition, many episodes of Yu-gi-oh! The Abridged Series have gotten well over 100,000 views. Considering how fast it got there, it's only a matter of time before it is reported elsewhere. --Paltheos 01:47, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment these other articles about people reference significant coverage of the person or videos in external media sources, thus establishing that they are notable for their YouTube contributions (see Lonelygirl15... MSNBC, CNN, Mtv, NYT all have written about her). I see no evidence of any significant external coverage of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series. WP:NOT a crystal ball, so until this is reported elsewhere, there is no justification for having an article about it on Wikipedia.--Isotope23 14:07, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

• Do Not Delete this show is getting big hits, and gets more every week. Shadow Skye 05:59, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
