| Submission declined on 15 December 2024 by CanonNi (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of films). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by CanonNi 7 days ago. | |
Comment: Where does the information come from? The sources are five regurgitated versions of the same press release about the promotional song – none of them show any notability for the show, and none of them helps the reader. bonadea contributions talk 18:26, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
