AfDs for this article:
- BrainPOP (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log • AfD statistics)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Some sources are listed at the bottom, but they're all primary, trivial, or merely interviews of the creators, or don't even mention it at all. Reads like a fansite with far too much info on the characters. Only sources found in Gnews were press releases. Last AFD was way the hell back in 2005.

- Keep. BrainPOP is an educational website used in more than 25% of U.S. schools. It receives over 6 million unique visits each month. I have added a couple of additional refs and moved a few refs from the External Links section to in-line positions in the text. I believe that there are sufficent references to reliable sources in the article to provide ample verifiability. Disclosure: I have edited this article off and on in the past. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:45, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you have a reliable source for that 25% comment. Ridernyc (talk) 06:52, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, it's cited in the BrainPOP article: Newsday, February 4, 2007 "Free Animated Movies for Black History Month" -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:49, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- While it is in a RS I don't trust the figure, have a feeling they just quoted a press release there. The numbers just don't ad up for me. Used in 25% of american schools yet it only has 6 million uniques a month. Ridernyc (talk) 15:49, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Are you even reading the sources? Tell me which of these is non-trivial, substantial, secondary coverage. Oh wait, that would be none of them. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 02:16, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
