Unreferenced "franchise" article of unclear necessity. This consists of a single sentence stating that this is a franchise that exists, the end, and its only "reference" was an invalid WP:CIRCULAR link to the Wikipedia article about the series which constitutes the most notable iteration of the franchise -- but references must be external to Wikipedia, so that wasn't a legitimate reference and had to be stripped.
This would be fine if the article actually contained any real substance and sourcing, but there's absolutely nothing here that isn't already contained in the existing article about Caillou as it is, making this just a content fork with no pressing need to have a standalone article in this form separately from the content we already have in other places.

Delete. Not needed since the main article on the Caillou show is good enough as is and does not seem big enough to have a separate one for the whole series. Nintendoswitchfan (talk) 17:30, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

• Draftify This is clearly not ready for mainspace but there is some Caillou media and merch outside of the TV series so I think a franchise article could a decent idea.★Trekker (talk) 11:19, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
• Delete - zero notability. No point in draftifying a single sentence.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:52, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
