The result was no consensus. The keepers have failed to fully meet the nominator's objections with two of the three keepers arguing against deletion based on allowing more time for development. TerriersFan 16:31, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Posse Cat

Fails WP:NOT#INFO. The article is a plot summary; policy states that articles on fiction and media "should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance, not solely a summary of that work's plot." I see no sources available that would enable creation of such an article. Contested prod. MastCell Talk 23:46, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy keep and close Is this a joke? This is a classic MGM Tom and Jerry theatrical short. It is not just a plot summary; it's an article that contains a plot summary (along with some "real world context" such as release dates, length, creators, relation to other Tom and Jerry cartoons). The fact that an article about an MGM Tom and Jerry theatrical short was originally prodded for having "no evidence of independent notability" is bizarre. Nominator claims "no sources available" but it took me less than a minute to find three reliable sources for this cartoon.
I've just noticed that this highly questionable nomination was made by an admin. It would be a good idea if any other AFD nominations they make are watched closely by any experienced admin reading this. Especially if they start AFDing Warner Bros or Disney shorts for the same reasons. Something's seriously wrong when an admin makes a nomination like this. 172.209.136.217 22:43, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Comment: Easy there. This isn't personal, so please don't personalize it. You've clearly been around, so you should know better. The sources you've found are brief plot summaries. They do not establish notability. Wikipedia is not a repository of plot summaries, and your sources don't allow expansion of the article into anything else. MastCell Talk 23:13, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and Expand There are many articles about episodes of particular TV series. All this articles needs is to add a little more about production and the staff, and any cultural references, ir possible. Then it would be up to standard. Hence there is still hope for this article.--Kylohk 11:22, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: Yes, if it had those things it would be a keeper. But I couldn't find any such sources, and despite all the heat above, no one has produced them. As it is now, the article fails WP:NOT#INFO, and I don't see sources being produced to get over that bar. MastCell Talk 17:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
