This seems to be an article for something that is non-existent, and thus would not be notable. The article seems to have been revived, after having been moved from Funimation Channel to Toku (TV network) in 2015. There is no source that confirms that Funimation Channel exists from 2016 onwards, after the service was shut down in 2015, according to The Fandom Post. Furthermore, the majority of the content on this page is just taken from Toku (TV network). The current article states that Funimation Channel is an SVOD service, however, there is no source that confirms an existence of an SVOD service named Funimation Channel, with this source found in the article stating that Funimation would relaunch a new cable channel in 2016 (which never happened), not an SVOD service. Furthermore, there is no source corroborating the launch date, nor that the relaunch was an SVOD service. The SVOD service that Funimation actually operates is named "Funimation", formerly named "FunimationNow" until 2020, and that service is already covered as part of the Funimation article. tenshibeat (talk|contribs) 11:17, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Funimation#Funimation_Channel. Not notable enough for its own article. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 12:34, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Funimation#Funimation_Channel Outside merging the 2006-15 Funimation infobox, everything about their cable service has already been cleanly merged over time as a natural transition from cable to streaming, though a separate List of programs aired by Funimation article may be needed for the FC programming section (though sourcing issues should be addressed).

- I don't think it is necessary to create a separate list article, given that shows that aired on Funimation Channel on cable are listed on Toku (TV network), and most other titles Funimation has can be found on Category:Funimation. tenshibeat (talk|contribs) 09:02, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment I did not see there was a Funimation cat..so outside the IB continuity, a redirect is good without needing to transfer the List of. Nate • (chatter) 00:13, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - The IP address tried to create something like this at List of programs broadcast by Funimation Channel, but it was converted to a redirect. Link20XX (talk) 01:33, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Funimation#Funimation Channel and add a hatnote in that section pointing to Toku (TV network) per nom. I agree this article is unnecessary. Link20XX (talk) 14:25, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
