Brackenwood

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

Brackenwood is a WP:NN series of videos hosted on Newgrounds. Most of the citations are to the page of the Flash Foward Film Festival, a minor event which seems to have ended in 2008 (there is another, continuing festival with the same name which showcases films made by disabled artists). One of the videos was an "official selection" at the 2006 Annecy film festival (http://www.annecy.org/about/archives/2006/official-selection/film-index:film-20065026 link), but it's unclear what that means. The only website not belonging to the creator is coldhardflash.com, a news site about flash animation which has only a single author.

In addition to the notability problem the article falls afoul of WP:CRYSTALBALL for its coverage of all sorts of planned and unfinished projects, and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. There is a troubling whiff of WP:PROMO in with all the talk about fundraising, frequent in-text linking to the creator's website, and comments on the talk page about the creator's finances. an IP editor from Australia has also modified the section on merchandising quite a bit, most notably the inclusion of a link to a book the creator has published on Amazon. In the interest of openness, I should also mention that I have also nominated the related article for Sarus for deletion. Hermione is a dude (talk) 06:08, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Adam Phillips (animator), where it is mentioned. Yes, I agree, a lot of promotion in the article. I was unable to find in depth secondary sources about this series. I suppose the awards contribute somewhat to significance, but I couldn't consider them "in depth" RS upon which to build an article. Thus the article seems to fail notability guidelines. That the series exists and was created by Adam Phillips is verified, however. This is a plausible search term, so redirecting to the creator's page, where it is mentioned, seems best. --Mark viking (talk) 19:23, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Merge/Redirect to Adam Phillips (animator). That article could probably stand to have a bit more information about the series, but I'm not seeing enough for a stand-alone article. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 13:42, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
