Deletion Sorting
Project

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Comics and animation. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Comics and animation|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Comics and animation. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

    "The Cutie Mark Crusaders work as deuteragonists in comparison to Twilight Sparkle and her friends. They are a trio of fillies trying to get their cutie marks, the symbols located on an Equestrian's flank that dictates what their special talent is and which appears in adolescence. The group consists of Applejack's little sister Applebloom, Rarity's little sister Sweetie Belle, and Rainbow Dash's foster sister Scootaloo. Due to their shared parental connections to the main cast, there was little examination of them (save Scootaloo in note 5). While this comment mainly refers to the intended audience of young children, it is also geared toward a signifcant portion of the Brony audience that include individuals on the autism spectrum. [...] Scootaloo herself has symbiotic parents, as shown in the episode "The Last Crusade." Both work as "creature catchers", the Equestrian version of zoologists, and, while very different in looks, largely coalesce in their rought-and-tumble personalities."

    "Everypony is on a journey, but it's difficult for young ponies to be patient. All Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle wanted to do was figure out who they were and what they were destined to do. They were desperate to discover their hidden talent, hoping a cutie mark would reveal itself and change their lives forever. Instead of worrying about it alone, they came together to form the ultimate support team: THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS. After a series of trials, the Crusaders successfully acquired their cutie marks and set out to prove their worth. Receiving a cutie mark doesn't mean they're done figuring everything out, of course. It simply means they're energized and on the right path. These feisty fillies are passionate about helping other young foals figure out their paths."

    "Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle hoped that by trying a bunch of different things together, they'd get their cutie marks lickety-split! So the three friends formed a secret club called the Cutie Mark Crusaders, whose members were dedicated to trying as many things as possible. Although the fillies have tried many diverse activities, like baking and magic, their cutie marks have yet to reveal themselves. Unfortunately, some intolerant ponies have mocked the young trio for not being able to find their proper vocations yet. Thankfully, wise ponies such as Princess Celestia have encouraged the girls to not lose hope and to keep experiencing as many things as possible."

  • Blue, Jen A. (2013-08-31). My Little Po-Mo: Unauthorized Critical Essays on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Season One. pp. 134–139.

    "This is true on a trivial level; unlike the main characters, who are young adults with jobs, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are little girls of roughly the same age as the target audience of the show (perhaps slightly older, given the pubescent overtones surrounding getting one's cutie mark). Adult fans, on the other hand, frequently express difficulty identifying with the CMC. I can understand that difficulty, to an extent. The Cutie Mark Crusaders take screen time away from the Mane Six. Their stories frequently require the Mane Six to be “useless,” so that the CMC can retain the focus, which makes sense as adults frequently are useless within a child’s frame of reference, but nonetheless can feel like the series “disrespecting” its main characters in order to focus on one-off background characters. However, I think the anti-CMC portion of the fandom misses an essential feature of the CMC. The CMC, you see, are picked on and disliked by their peers. Later episodes show that they are easily swept up by their enthusiasms, and gifted with mechanical and technical tasks. And most of all, they are seeking to establish their identity by enthusiastically exploring their interests. To put it bluntly, they’re geeks. I argued back in Chapter 7 that Equestria is a nation of geeks, but the CMC are the stereotypical “geeks among geeks.”

    Creator objected to proposed deletion. They provided sources on the article's talk page, but I'm not really convinced by them; one is a YouTube video by Mother's Basement (an obviously unreliable source), another is a BackerKit page for a TTRPG, and yet a third one isn't a meaningful source at all, but just a content tag on CoroCoro's website. The others they linked are at least from sites that could conceivably be utilized in Wikipedia, but they're all mostly discussing Yu-Gi-Oh, with a couple of them mentioning other series in passing mostly in relation to Yu-Gi-Oh. Several of the not-outright-unreliable or user-generated sources here are from WP:VALNET, and most of the rest are just from Anime News Network. The current state of the article is generally poorly sourced, and I don't see the potential state looking much better. It doesn't look like this passes NLIST. silviaASH (inquire within) 00:25, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Delete: There is no substantial change in the article after the objection from Setenzatsu.2 (talk · contribs). The issue with the user is clearly a WP:IDHT case, and I wonder why they did not receive any kind of sanction after being reported to ANI. Xexerss (talk) 03:08, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    From looking at the discussion, it seems to me like they went inactive for a few days and no one followed up on it before the topic got archived. They also never responded to the discussion and didn't edit between May 21st and 25th, so I'd say it was a pretty clear case of ANI flu. Obviously this AfD isn't the right venue to discuss their conduct, but given the quite obvious WP:RADAR issues it should probably be dealt with somehow. silviaASH (inquire within) 05:09, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Manga: The Complete Guide, p. 122, has a sentence of comparison between card games related to manga vs. video games. Trading Card Games For Dummies has a 13-page chapter on trading card games related to anime, manga and comics. Daranios (talk) 19:51, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I think it should be possible to create an article about card-themed anime and manga series (I can't think of a particular title at the moment). The problem is this list article and its poorly sourced and worded content. I don't feel like I'm reading an encyclopedic Wikipedia article, but a Fandom article or something like that. Xexerss (talk) 00:19, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, even if this article topic is notable, I'm not sure a list is the appropriate way to cover it, and I think WP:TNT applies. silviaASH (inquire within) 00:22, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    This and this are the only independent sources I was able to find on this character. This is an incredibly minor villain (outside Shang-Chi's origin story), so there isn't a lot that can be written about the subject beyond plot synopsis.

    It's been tagged for notability concerns for awhile, and it has had known issues with its over-reliance on primary sources since 2014. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 03:10, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Non-notable character, fails GNG. Almost all of the sources are primary, and the ones that aren't are of questionable reliability and/or do not demonstrate significant coverage. A WP:BEFORE search did not yield results. Madeleine (talk) 21:22, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

Albany: SUNY Press. pp. 35–36. doi:10.2307/jj.18253053.6. ISBN 978-0-7914-7565-2. JSTOR jj.18253053.6. Retrieved 2025-05-25 – via Google Books.

        The book notes: "No better example demonstrates Parker and Stone's concern with the scatological than Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo, the talking piece of shit who "comes out of the toilet once a year to give presents to all the little boys and girls who have fiber in their diets." Mr. Hankey is excrement incarnate: He jumps out of the toilet and leaves a brown mark, a smear, a stain, on every surface he touches as a reminder to the viewer of the inherent dirtiness of the human body no matter how much we try to aestheticize it.* Mr. Hankey's stains systematically mess up the cleanliness of the social order. ... What makes Mr. Hankey such a complicated piece of shit, however, is the fact that he is also a parody of one of the most widely recognized icons of American popular culture, Mickey Mouse, complete with plump brown body, gloved hands and large, happy eyes. Both are lovable, kind, and spout inanities. Consider Mr. Hankey's nonsensical expression to Kyle: "Gosh, Kyle, you smell like flowers." Parker and Stone pervert this world-renowned cultural icon by suggesting that he is nothing more than a piece of shit; further, their codification of Mr. Hankey as a "Christmas Poo" characterizes Christmas, ... as shit. ... As a brown smear, Mr. Hankey operates repeatedly as a force of disruption. Significantly, in the "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo" episode, Hankey helps to thwart the sanitization of the Christian holiday that the mayor and inhabitants of South Park are promoting, especially in their nondenominational and therefore inoffensive holiday pageant designed by Philip Glass. In the episode "A Very Crappy Christmas," Mr. Hankey's noted absence from the town leaves the inhabitants with no Christmas spirit; again, then, the absence of this piece of holiday shit disrupts the "regular" commercialism that Parker and Stone use to characterize the Christmas season."

        The book notes in a footnote: "The difficulty that this character offers also lies in the fact that, like Mickey Mouse, Mr. Hankey is a minstrel figure, a figure who is conventionally a member of a and of entertainers with blackened faces, performing songs and music ostensibly of African-American origin."

        The book notes: "School counselor and occasional teacher Mr. Mackey is widely regarded as one of the most levelheaded members of the South Park Elementary faculty, rarely flustered, seldom enraged, and prone to reinforce his every point with a casual, friendly exclamation of "mkay?" However, he is also prey to occasional misunderstandings and miscalculations, such as the time a sample of marijuana he was utilizing in a drug education class was stolen. He was subsequently fired, and, having also lost his apartment, he briefly became a drug user himself. During this period he married a fellow addict; the pair then honeymooned in India, before Mackey alone was rescued by the A Team. Disturbingly, although the marriage was consummated, Mackey was so high at the time he had no memory of the event."

        The book notes: "South Park's school counsellor, Mr Mackey, is another sad misfit who fails the children. He too merely carries out orders. The children are sent to him to be 'cured' of their swearing. He doesn't counsel, but lectures them on their bad behaviour, then entertains them with a totally inappropriate song, 'It's Easy MKay?', that parodies the 'Just Say No' anti-drugs campaign, revealing an equally unsubtle and ill-informed approach to a social problem. The ineffectual nature of his interventions is encapsulated by the fact that after joining in a rousing chorus of the song, the children go straight back to see the film that introduced them to the language in the first place. The film and the series offer a painful critique of approaches to education that focus on superficial rather than deep learning and which are undemocratic and complacent about wider social and political debates."

        The book notes: "TV Origin: M'kay is best known as the catchphrase of Mr. Mackey, the guidance counselor on South Park. His first episode was “Mr. Hankey,The Christmas Poo” (written by Trey Parker, Dec. 17, 1997), and the word was first used as Mackey confronted a very confused Kyle, whose singing, Santa-hat-clad friend Mr. Hankey is only perceived as a garden-variety piece of crap by the rest of the world. Mr. Mackey says: “Now, uh, Kyle, as your school counselor, I want to try and help you confront your problem, m’kay?” In an introduction to the episode, Trey Parker says Mr. Mackey was based on one of his counselors from junior high."

      There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Mr. Mackey to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
