This My Little Pony episode was originally called "Rescue from Midnight Castle" and was eventually renamed "Firefly's Adventure". Searching separately with these two titles has resulted in the discovery of an insufficient number of sources to demonstrate notability. Neelix (talk) 17:53, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep. As notable as hell. This was (a) before my time (b) something I am no expert or even a fan of and I know better than that.--Spoon Maniac (talk) 20:46, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge. I wonder if Spoon Maniac's reaction is predicated on assuming this AfD is nominating "My Little Pony" as a whole. It's not. It's nominating the pilot. Given that "My Little Pony" doesn't have a robust episode-by-episode listing, and there's nothing particularly distinguishable about the pilot that sets it apart as an exemplar of the series, I don't see any reason the material couldn't be merged into the series' entry.

- Nope. I know this is just the pilot. And my !vote still stands.--Spoon Maniac (talk) 00:56, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well,given that AfD's not a vote but a exchange of rationales, mind going into further detail as to why the pilot's notable? WCityMike 01:09, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't say vote, I said !vote.--Spoon Maniac (talk) 02:29, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Its fails notability as wikipedia states "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material. Therefore it should be Deleted or merged like My Little Pony 'n Friends which I feel should suffer a similar fate. Dwanyewest (talk) 02:47, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I have no trouble finding significant coverage and have cited some. Colonel Warden (talk) 07:11, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Where? I see the date it aired is sourced, the fact that it was sold on VHS is sourced, and that it is considered the pilot is sourced. None of that is "significant coverage" by definition of WP:NOTE (since NOTE spells out the definition pretty well).
- Merge - Merge all relevant info. Nothing on here screams "I need a separate page". My Little Pony is notable. Now, whether the pilot episode of the animated series is notable is still questionable. Right now, it doesn't show that. I would delete "My Little Pony (pilot episode)" simply because it's the incorrect name for the page per WP:NCTV, as it should just be plain "episode" as a disambiguation.

- Merge - agree with Bignole (as usual). Eusebeus (talk) 09:48, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
