Delete. Not seeing any serious coverage, ping me if better sources are presented. Right now this fails WP:NMEDIA. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:59, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Subway Surfers#Subway Surfers: The Animated Series - I agree with the nom and above that this series does not have the sources showing that it is independently notable. Additionally, the article is completely unsourced and thus has no information that should be preserved. However, as the series is already covered at the main article for Subway Surfers, a redirect to that section would be a valid redirect. Rorshacma (talk) 14:52, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Animation Magazine gives it ample coverage at https://www.animationmagazine.net/top-stories/subway-surfers-series-makes-youtube-debut-june-1/ as does Animation World Network https://www.awn.com/news/subway-surfers-animated-shorts-series-premieres Two reliable sources giving them significant coverage is enough to pass the general notability guidelines.

Comment - Both of these sources seem to just be copies of the actual press release that SYBO released on the show. Though the link on their actual official site is not working, you can still find other mirrors of the press release elsewhere, such as here. As you can see, the Animation World Network link above is just a straight mirror/copy of the press release, and the Animation Magazine is just the press release that they reworded or rearranged a few of the sentences, but is largely also just a copy of the official press release.

Redirect to Subway Surfers#Subway Surfers: The Animated Series. Dream Focus posted sources, but didn't check whether they have independent writing (something that is a part of WP:GNG and required). Both sources, and what AWN source even says directly, is sourced in what SYBO Games (the developers of the game) has said. Both also have almost the same content, which leads me to believe they are just WP:ROUTINE sources reiterating what the press release says. WP:ATD redirect is the best thing to do here, but this series does not meet WP:GNG on it's own. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 18:09, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Subway Surfers#Subway Surfers: The Animated Series as a valid alternative to deletion, and a plausible search term. Press releases don't constitute "significant coverage", but at least we can maintain what exists should significant coverage ever come available in the future, and the search term I can see as valid.

Redirect as a WP:CHEAP WP:ATD per the points made above. The key points are covered WP:WITHIN the larger article sufficiently. It would be good to have the source transferred to the larger article to help with WP:V--at least that listicle appears to be independent, although only a passing mention. -2pou (talk) 20:57, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
REDIRECT These YouTube episodes are six minutes long so probably not given much coverage anywhere. Dream Focus 03:19, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
