Prodded with "No evidence this passes GNG/NFILM. BEFORE fails to find any coverage. The cited source is just a passing mention.". PROD removed with the request for AFD, so here we go. Please note that the cited The Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoons (I used the newer edition from 2009) only mentions the subject in passing, in a list of Woody Woodpecker animations, and doesn't discuss the topic at all. The other cited source is a website of dubious reliability which also does not contain any discussion of this topic other than just listing it [1]. I suggest redirecting to Woody_Woodpecker_filmography#1950s and doing the same with dozens of similar catalogue-like entries listed there that have no need for a stand-alone article (failing GNG/NFILM/etc.) _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:15, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - See also Woody Woodpecker filmography and Adaptations of Moby-Dick. Do we have such a modern bias that we are not going to have the Woody Woodpecker cartoons? But besides that, in the quick google search I did, it was not hard to at least find references related comparing to Moby Dick. For example - [2] [3] [4]. And this 1957 cartoon still is shown - just for fun, here's a link showing that it was on television in the UK back in 1990 [5]. .- jc37 08:55, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The first two links have just one sentence passing mention about this cartoon (that fails WP:SIGCOV). The other is a blog so it is simply irrelevant (not reliable). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:26, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. We generally include notable cartoon shorts, and this clearly falls into this category. RomanSpa (talk) 09:01, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's just saying WP:ITSNOTABLE, try again. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:27, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Woody Woodpecker filmography. There is nothing in the article that indicates it meets Wikipedia:GNG from my readings. jc37 suggested few sources, but Piotrus negatively scrutinized them. So far, nobody has countered that argumentation. - GizzyCatBella🍁 02:29, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Covered in books about Woody and Walter Lantz DonaldD23 talk to me 17:49, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Donaldd23 Which books? Please name them here, with a page range. Google Books or IA links would be a nice bonus. Thanks! PS. If by "Walter Lantz" you mean "The Walter Lantz Cartune Encyclopedia", it's not a book but a webpage of unclear reliability [6] (no 'about', no information on authors, has a disclaimer "This is an unofficial website."), and the coverage is just a catalogue entry (name, date, credits, etc.) that fails SIGCOV. As was already noted above. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:24, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Woody_Woodpecker_filmography#1950s per nom as WP:ATD-R. Not independently notable (fails GNG and WP:NFILM), but belongs to a notable collection covered by the filmography page. Lots of the other shorts seem to lack coverage for stand alone articles as well. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 12:33, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
