Looks like a youtube show with very little notability. No credible refs. Travis Thurston+ 18:07, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On The First Day of produtcion, or before, lots of kids got auditioned, because of their parents. Beacuse of their publicity, They have became famous, one was in a short movie that has got an award, And If More people get it back THANKS to Them. --|=ANTAG£JAPANR0X (talk) 22:07, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Was this a response the the recommendation the the article be removed? Not sure what FantageJapanRox is trying to say here... --Travis Thurston+ 01:14, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think they are trying to say why they think it's notable. The film mentioned got a minor award which has no Wikipedia article (and for which I could find no evidence of notability), the film itself has no article (and again, I could find nothing to indicate that it meets the notability criteria) and the actress (who did not win an award, just appeared in the film that won the minor award) has an article which is also being discussed for deletion. FantageJapanRox, you need to provide reliable sources (not YouTube) which are independent of the subject to demonstrate that it meets the criteria for inclusion -- PhantomSteve.alt/talk\^{[alternative account of Phantomsteve]} 04:26, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per wp:note, wp:rs. --Travis Thurston+ 01:14, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No independent reliable sources have been provided. The only sources are the creators' own web site and their YouTube pages. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:17, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I can only find minor coverage or non-reliable/non-independent coverage - nothing which would indicate that this subject meets the notability criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia -- PhantomSteve.alt/talk\^{[alternative account of Phantomsteve]} 04:26, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Their facebook post:[1] One of the kids have been on Time magazine FOR the show. TIME magazine: [2],[3]TNT Magazine: [4]

I have MORE, but I will add them AFTER Kids React DOESN'T get deleted. |=ANTAG£JAPANR0X (talk) 20:18, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep The series is actually quite popular, having totals of millions of fans. As an internet phenomenon it meets the definition as it had been covered in various media sources. In addition to the above check these sources:

[5] [6] [7]

Of course, this is just a sampling, the series has been covered by many other web sites. To delete for lack of notability is simply false. There's a lot of coverage and we simply need to add it to the page, not delete the article. MB (talk) 13:50, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep The series is notable, but it needs more sources and possibly a rewrite. SalfEnergy 17:41, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep I just need to provide more references, therefore, this wikipedia page does not need to be deleted. |=ANTAG£JAPANR0X (talk) 20:21, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The sources mentioned do not discuss the "Kids React" series. Instead, they're simple embedded-video "isn't this interesting"/"kids say the darndest things" puff pieces using the series' videos (and four of them are "reprints" (for want of a better term) of the same thing). Their Facebook post is utterly irrelevant as Facebook is not an independent, reliable source. Having "Millions of fans" doesn't establush notability. Also, regarding the very first comment in the AfD - Notability is not inherited. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 10:41, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Kids React has uncertain notability to me, but what about an article on The Fine Brothers to which Kids React would redirect? e.g., [8] [9][10][11]--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 04:15, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
