  • Delete: as not notable. The article includes the names of living people. Lacks reliable and independent sources. Otr500 (talk) 03:39, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

  • DraftifyRedirect to Walt Disney anthology television series - Yes, the movie exist although not noted, the article is lack of references requires lots of work to make it more encyclopedic. Strongly suggest to be heavily edited with more independent sources. Or else, just delete it - Jay (talk) 06:14, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

::The article is from 2006, and the original author is not an active editor any more (this is one reason I think the bar for deletion should be higher is something has been on the Wikipedia that long without getting deleted) I support making it a draft again, but who should clean up the article? Better to just make it a redirect, preserving history. Samboy (talk) 06:22, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

::Changed my vote to redirect. -Jay (talk) 06:32, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
