Couldn't find any reliable sources. The current sources in the article are just the show itself, social media, a source about the network it aired on, and a random "top 15 whatever" listicle -- and that's after removing Know Your Meme, Vimeo, and Facebook.

Further searching found no reputable sources, the closest being a press release that was more about MYX TV than the show itself. All of the hits I found beyond that were unreliable things like TV Tropes, Know Your Meme, Fandom wikis, IMDb, and the like. Despite the show's memetic nature, it doesn't seem to have received any mainstream acknowledgment the way that, say, We Are Number One, Angry German Kid, YouTube Poop, Salad Fingers, or My Immortal (fan fiction) has. I'd suggest a merge to Myx (Global), the network it aired on, but it's not even mentioned on that page. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 20:35, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak Keep~~: I'd say the show is on the edge of being notable enough to have a page, although the show is clearly very obscure. I'd believe that Behind the Voice Actors could count as a reliable source for this page, along with page 200 of DreamWorks Animation: Intertextuality and Aesthetics in Shrek and Beyond (it won't let me view the page currently), and an entry in Giant Robot. Even so, I can acknowledge that the sourcing for this page is pretty slim. There's no doubt about that. However, if the page can't be kept, I'd support a merge/redirect to Myx (Global). I only know of the show because it features a trans woman (likely problematic) named Cherry Pie as one of its characters, but that's honestly the only thing I know about it.

Behind the Voice Actors is a directory listing. That's not significant coverage. And the other two are still debatable until someone can prove how much they covered the context. Given that the former is a book about DreamWorks, I'm not expecting much. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:33, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, in that case, I'm changing my vote to merge/redirect, so that the link for the page can still work. Something about the show should be noted somewhere, for sure. After all, the Nutshack page garnered over 14,000 page views this year alone, so it is worth putting a sentence or two on the Myx (Global) page. Historyday01 (talk) 02:55, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

From the text I can make out, the Giant Robot entry seems to be only a directory listing as well. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:59, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That might be the case, I couldn't tell from the Giant Robot entry... it was one of those Google Books entries where you can only see part of the article. Historyday01 (talk) 02:54, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nominator's reasoning. I can't find reputable sources for this series, either. A sentence or two could be added to Myx (Global), with the aforementioned press release as a source. However, I'm not in support of a merge, since the majority of this article's content (the characters, episodes, home media, etc.) is irrelevant to Myx itself and shouldn't be merged there.

Redirect to Myx (Global). Fails WP:NTV per nom. Nothing to merge as it can be discussed in the article in a sentence or two. SBKSPP (talk) 03:53, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The page is good enough for an article LKF2006 (talk) 18:15, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"It looks good" isn't an argument to keep. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 18:34, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How? Please explain why you think we should keep this article.TheVHSArtist (talk) 02:13, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
