Delete No evidence of notability. Not complete, and little coverage. The only source cited in the article does not establish notability, and appears to be essentially PR material. The article was PRODDED with the reason given as "Unfinished cartoon (not WP:CRYSTAL), and no evidence of notability." This PROD was seconded by another editor, who wrote "Very little verifiable non-PR content to warrant an article. No evidence that title of article is actual working name of show." The PROD was removed with no explanation by an anonymous IP with no edits not related to this article. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:01, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom / prod. Once the ghosts actually escape and make another attempt at global domination, that may create some coverage.--Tikiwont (talk) 10:07, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above; there is very little, if any, evidence of notability; a press release doesn't quite cut it. If the show is released and becomes popular enough to generate non-trivial coverage in reliable sources, it can be recreated. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 10:35, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I tried to get it speedied first, "this is an unreleased (unfinished, even) game or cartoon (uncertain) with no reliable referencing or indication of notability. Fails WP:CRYSTAL." I stand by that still. I thought Pacman was a little blob that raced round mazes, in the days when interactive meant you could bat things from one end of the screen to the other...

- It doesn't appear to meet any of the speedy deletion criteria, but it's unfortunate that an anonymous IP removed the prod. Deletion at AfD means that it can't be reintroduced until the concerns have been addressed however, so if this discussion results in delete we can be done with it for now.

Delete - no WP:RS to support WP:GNG for inclusion … a press release does not cut it. Happy Editing! — 70.21.16.94 (talk · contribs) _{15:59, 2 November 2010 (UTC)}[reply]
Delete per my PROD endorsement. There is little to no information out there other than this press release; that single item in itself is not sufficient WP:RS for creating an article. Ultimately this looks to be a WP:CRYSTAL issue. --Kinu ^t/_c 17:57, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per my PROD nomination. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 02:55, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
