FOX animated universe

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Formerly WP:PROD-ed as FOX Animated Universe (note capitalization), this apparently WP:MADEUP, in-universe fan concept lacks independent, reliable secondary sources. Article content is basically showtimes, WP:PLOT, reviews, and the unsupported assertion that "fans" consider this a thing, so article is entirely redundant with the linked episode articles.

There are wikia for Family Guy and The Simpsons that might welcome this sort of original research. / edg ☺ ☭ 19:42, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:11, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as WP:OR. Nothing in the sources use this term or talk about a cross-cartoon universe. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 21:27, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because Night of the Hurricane a huge crossover of Family Guy, American Dad! and Cleveland Show all voiced by the same voice actors on those shows. The Simpsons Guy a crossover between Simpsons and Family Guy again with the same voice actors of each show, the upcoming Simpsorama a crossover with The Simpsons and Futurama and with the same voice actors. What you see here is an animated universe all distributed by Fox. That's why I created it. And a lot of people attributed to this page. - Grohl1 (talk), 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Keep The article is a compiled list of the cross-over episodes of FOX's animated programs. It's well written, concise and provides citations.Mikepellerin (talk) 04:39, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We have Family Guy, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show crossovers for that. Nymf (talk) 16:29, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt. Previously created (and deleted) as FOX Animated Universe by the now blocked TreCoolGuy (talk · contribs). It is all original research/a made up term, and WP:NEOLOGISM at best. Nymf (talk) 16:29, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Redundant with mentions at individual episode articles, not notable for stand-alone page. The "crossovers" article seems also too trivial for its own article. -- Wikipedical (talk) 00:59, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The various Fox crossovers have in fact gotten some media attention. However, the notion of a Fox animated universe is little more than original research. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 00:49, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Fox cartoons. 202.160.16.134 (talk) 09:39, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That IP was me -- just merge FOX animated universe to Fox cartoons [[User:TTSVids105|TTSVids105]] ~ (talk) 01:50, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It makes no sense merging a made-up term. Nymf (talk) 17:48, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I've alerted WP:TV to this discussion, as seen here. Flyer22 (talk) 06:53, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Fox cartoons.ADDED: I also think Family Guy, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show crossovers should be deleted and the content included with the deleted Fox Ani Univ as a "Cross-over" topic in the main Fox cartoons article.AbramTerger (talk) 22:38, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The notion of a Fox Universe is original research and while merging the information on the crossovers (which are already covered in their own articles) would give undue weight to them. I do not think a merge is a good idea. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 04:21, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Perhaps deleting it is not the proper way to go. Maybe it would be better to re-name the article Fox animated crossovers. That seems more appropriate than Fox animated universe.TheLastAmigo (talk) 20:34, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@TheLastAmigo: but then it lacks notability. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 20:46, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@EvergreenFir: then merge it into the Fox cartoons article under the section Fox animated crossovers. The fact that many animated programs have crossed over would certainly be considered notable in that article.TheLastAmigo (talk) 22:16, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
