Orkut's Buddypoke

Has someone noticed that the characters in Pucca's series bear a strong resemblance to the dolls of Orkut's BuddyPoke?Brazilian Man (talk) 03:20, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Pucca and Ring Ring same voice!

Pucca on Cartoon Network?

I've searched the internet on Pucca many times before, no solid evidence indicates anything on Pucca being on cartoon network, if anyone has solid proof, show it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Misterian (talk • contribs) 16:16, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Verifiability

No reliable secondary sources are used in this article. It fails to meet verifiability. Fifelfoo (talk) 03:34, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

And notability. I plan to put this up for deletion if no WP:RS are found which meet WP:NOTABILITY. BE——Critical_{__Talk} 04:41, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

This is a television program which has been aired in 22 different nations. I would say notability is indeed asserted, especially with 8.5 million Google hits and 14 other Wikipedia projects have pages for the subject.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:25, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Well of course it may be. Can you point to a good source that meets Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources? However I think you said over at AN/I that there weren't any. And, BTW, I'm trying to understand this issue myself. I feel for the dilemma here. That's why I started the thread at the RS noticeboard. It seems that Wikipedia itself doesn't have a good policy on this, at least not one which is consistent. BE——Critical_{__Talk} 05:35, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

There won't be any for the individual characters, but notability is indeed asserted.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:39, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

One site says "Posted 4th of December, 2010 at 10:59 am by Infernal Monkey" and the other will not load fully here in the united states,but due to an ad which did load I feel relatively sure it's not RS either. BE——Critical_{__Talk} 05:44, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Two references have been added to the article. One is an article posted on Firefox News and the other is a press release by the channel it was broadcast on. It frankly doesn't matter when the reference was made or where the reference is hosted (that is a South Korean website, which is where the show is originally from). Verifiability and notability asserted. Move on now.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:51, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure about the Korean site, but the Firfox news one barely mentions pucca, and as you say the other one is not a third party website. So no, that doesn't do it. "Wikipedia covers notable topics—those that have been "noticed" to a significant degree by independent sources" [1]. And really, we don't have to solve this in a night. I'm going soon, and we can take this up later, hopefully after we get some feedback from other editors on that RS noticeboard thread. BE——Critical_{__Talk} 05:58, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Considering you have only been here for a year, let me give you some information on how WP:RS works. We have one independent source and another primary source. That along with the 14 other language projects that have decided to cover this seem to point out that the subject of this article is indeed notable. If you want to go ahead and waste people's time by putting this up at AFD, you can go right ahead. But I am telling you now that the subject of this article, a television show that has aired in 22 different countries, is indeed notable. The references are only being used to show that Pucca aired on Jetix in the US and various European markets.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:00, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

And let me follow that up with 467,000 results for the name in Korean and 8,520,000 in English. Notability asserted and supported. Have a Merry Christmas.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:05, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

I would certainly support a change of policy, or a clarification of policy, to make this easy to understand. I think many users would agree with you... and many would not. Please try to be civil while we work this out, and I'm sorry that among all the unsourced or non-notable (?) articles the one you work on became a focus point for my questions. BE——Critical_{__Talk} 06:06, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Notability is not established by a google search, that's not the way you do it. Unless, of course, WP policy is just not clear on this kind of thing. BE——Critical_{__Talk} 06:11, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

It certainly helps assert it.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:31, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

About the sources

I don't have much of an opinion on the Firefox News one, since it doesn't even say much about Pucca anyways. However, Cold Hard Flash is a reliable news source and not a blog, if you look at the about page. It was made by Aaron Simpson and, as it says, "Cold Hard Flash is maintained by industry professionals, and we are in no way affiliated or officially connected with any studio, company or organization." Silverseren^C 18:47, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

The Firefox News one is only used to source that the television show aired on a particular network in the US. It was the first one I could find, and there is probably a new one posted here.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 19:34, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Canadian production

Article says based on characters from a Korean company but the production company of the series itself is solely Canadian with no Korean involvement in the production of the series itself. IMDb supports that evaluation as well. Geraldo Perez (talk) 01:09, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi GP, since I saw this July 2018 edit from an anonymous editor, I surmise that the nation of origin for this series still appears to be in some dispute. Looking at the closing credits from one episode, I see "A Jetix Europe/Vooz Character System Co-Production". That would suggest at least two nations to me. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:18, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: The only info in the infobox for production company now is Studio B Productions a Canadian company. This matches the info on IMDb. I don't see any possibility of it being an American production. The credits I saw listed Studio B Production and stated ©VOOZ/Jetix Europe. VOOZ owns the characters so may be getting a production credit for that even though Studio B did the actual animation work. Jetix seems more like a broadcast outlet. See what others say. Might justify Korea as an origin but no other country can be identified. The references in the article are pretty explicit this is a Canadian production created to order by Jetix based on VOOZ characters. Geraldo Perez (talk) 02:20, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Number of Segments

A while ago, I changed the number of segments for Season 2 from 39 to 37 and the number of total segments from 117 to 115. This was because the episode Chef-Napped was not three 8-minute segments on one slot but one 24-minute segment in a single slot. Logically, the number of segments total should be 193. However, someone has apparently changed the number of segments in Season 2 back to 39, and the number of segments total reads 195. Should that be changed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.54.195.214 (talk) 02:41, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

Don't remember Maryke Hendrikse and John Stocker being in the Vancouver era

Okay, I don't know who keeps adding those claims, even after I removed them a year ago, but can anyone confirm? Pucca and Garu having two voice actors at the same time, when they don't even speak, is nonsense anyway. What???

Unless their original voice actors were too busy and couldn't do the voices at one point, then okay, fine. But that's just my farfetched guess.

Still, what the crap is going on? WannurSyafiqah74 (talk) 15:17, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
