Another Woody Woodpecker cartoon article that fails NFILM, and GNG. From a before search, I could not find a single reliable source with significant coverage of this short. No indications of notability. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:24, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Film debut of Woody Woodpecker and Andy Panda. DonaldD23 talk to me 17:57, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And how does that mean it passes GNG, exactly? This feels like a drive-by vote without actually considering if sources exist that cover the short. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:25, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Per

WP:NFSOURCES The film features significant involvement (i.e., one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person and is a major part of their career." Even though Woody is not a "person", how can the film debut of a notable fictional character not be considered 'significant' and 'a major part of their career'?

• Keep notable for being film premiere of iconic Woody Woodpecker and Andy Panda characters and is discussed in detail in The Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoons and Of Mice and Magic as well as [cartoonresearch]. Wk3v78k23tnsa (talk) 19:11, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The one cartoon (the debut episode) which deserves to be an auto-keep among this #itsnotlooneytunesdeletethemall rash of Woody noms. You have time to delete, you have time to find sources.

• Keep: I will have to vote keep per historical notability. According to this source - "In 1982, Lantz donated 17 artifacts to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History, among them a wooden model of Woody Woodpecker and a storyboard from the character’s 1941 debut." So, unlike the other shorts, a storyboard from this cartoon is in a notable museum. SL93 (talk) 19:35, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy keep as an obvious case of
  WP:SNOW
  - Per above; finding specific sources may take some additional effort because of the notability of the eponymous character, but others have already demonstrated their existence.
