Article about a children's television series, not reliably sourced as passing WP:TVSHOW. As always, TV shows are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist(ed) -- the notability test is the reception of reliable source coverage about the show in real media to establish its significance, but the only reference shown here at all is a short review on the self-published website of an advocacy organization that isn't a neutral or notability-making source.
There's also been some editwarring going on here about whether this was an American show as claimed by IMDb, or a multinational American-British-Canadian copro as claimed by random IP numbers who aren't showing any sources to demonstrate that IMDb is incorrect about its production nationality -- and it's also flipped back and forth several times between a redirect to PBS Kids and a standalone article, but throughout that entire history of editwarring, it has never, ever been properly sourced for the purposes of earning a standalone article.
No prejudice against the recreation of a (protected) redirect to PBS Kids from the redlink if desired, but this should be deleted first as there's no value in retaining this poorly sourced content in the edit history. If people really want this to be recreated as a standalone article again, they're going to have to put much, much more effort into it than this. Bearcat (talk) 03:16, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
