not clear how this subject is notable and cannot be sufficiently covered in the parent article Disney XD RadioFan (talk) 03:59, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. First of all, Disney XD is not the parent article. Disney does not own this channel, Astral Media does, and runs it as a sister channel to Family, with some content from the US Disney XD channel. WP:BROADCAST asks if original content has been created for the channel, Astral original series' Baxter, Connor Undercover, What's Up Warthogs!, and Wingin' It air on Disney XD, sometimes premiering before Family, its own film is also in the works [1]. It also asks if it has been covered through reliable sources, granted this article is not that well written with sources, they can be found [2][3]. Most cable and satellite channels in Canada are notable for their own article. 117Avenue (talk) 05:17, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for reasons stated by 117Avenue, all specialty channels (on air or not) that have been licensed by the CRTC are notable enough to have their own articles. Per WP:TVS:

While television station articles, like all articles on Wikipedia, should ideally meet the general notability guidelines, in general, any television station which produces original content and is licensed by a national government (e.g., the FCC in the United States) is presumed to be notable.

As it currently stands, Disney XD Canada meets both criteria of notability established by the Wikiproject. It's the same reason why we have an article on every single television or radio station that has been licensed by the FCC (and CRTC). Even stations that were pretty much direct copies of the American channel such as MSNBC Canada or of a foreign television service with some additional Canadian content such as Abu_Dhabi_TV_(Canada) have kept their own articles. █ EMARSEE 06:05, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: meets notability criteria in my opinion. It has a significant enough difference in terms of content and history to differentiate it from the Disney XD article. It has a large number of press coverage specific to the channel to make it notable itself.musimax. (talk) 23:27, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
