Spacetoon (India)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Likely a WP:HOAX. No reliable sources to indicate that Spacetoon has a branch / subsidiary in India. The website listed on this page does not exist. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 11:43, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This also needs to be deleted. List of programs broadcast by Spacetoon (Pakistan) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shinnosukeandme (talk • contribs) 11:38, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I don't think the article is a hoax, e.g., Business Standard has covered a channel named "Spacetoon Kids TV". I can't comment on its notability though. — Stringy Acid (talk) 20:14, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That article is about the Indian version, not the supposed Pakistani version. Nothing about an Pakistani version can be found on the internet except in this article.--Shinnosukeandme (talk) 05:31, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Note there are two articles nominated for deletion.

Keep Both – Spacetoon India is not a hoax, and no rationale for deletion has been provided for the List of programs broadcast by Spacetoon (Pakistan) article, other than a subjective notion that it "needs to be deleted". Spacetoon India meets WP:CORPDEPTH. See source examples below. Also, it is possible that this company is not affiliated with Spacetoon, and exists as a standalone company. I added citation needed templates in the article accordingly and renamed the article to Spacetoon India. I also added a comment on the article's talk page regarding this matter.

References

List of programs broadcast by Spacetoon (Pakistan) doesn't have any references at all. Besides that, there's no references that Spacetoon Pakistan even exists. If you read your references you will see that nowhere it's being referred to as TV channel but just as a licensing company.--Shinnosukeandme (talk) 04:02, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article was created by a hoaxer who was blocked right off (the behavior of edit summaries featuring only the page title in question has quickly become a hoaxer trademark). It's too poorly written, the network has no .in website (there's this site, but it looks like it dates back to 2011 and might only be a 'proof of concept' site) and all three sources listed by NA1000 aren't neutral, but are likely paid stories. I don't believe this channel exists and we're just being spun in circles by an IP hoaxer. At minimum this article needs a complete WP:TNT from a trusted editor if the network is indeed real, but this is likely yet another 'invented network' from India.

Keep both as there is obviously WP:RS for Spacetoon India, and per arguments by Northamerica1000. Please don't file frivolous WP:AfD proposals that clearly have WP:RS. Please do you due diligence. A simple Google search of Spacetoon India gives the Business Standard article and Bloomberg mentions it here. --David Tornheim (talk) 22:03, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
