A WP:BEFORE search didn't come up with any RS covering this film. The film has a one-sentence mention in The Encyclopedia of Fantasy here and a short listing in The Wonderful World of Disney Television: A Complete History here, both of which don't add up to in-depth coverage.

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)[reply]
~~Keep~~Redirect to Walt Disney anthology television series, preserving history. I can verify this movie exists and there are some mentions in books: [1] [2] [3], and It is listed as #37 in a list of the “The Best TV Shows that were never” made, which is a significant non-trivial mention in an independent reliable source: [4]. Considering this movie is from the mid-1980s, and was broadcast on network television, these sources establish enough notability to not make this a hard delete.

~~Draftify~~Redirect 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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