The result was redirect to Moomin#TV series and films. If there is anything mergeworthy it can be merged from the history. Sandstein 08:22, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A search for reliable, secondary sources reveals an insufficient amount of significant coverage. This television series fails Wikipedia's general notability guideline. Neelix (talk) 04:13, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I see plenty of hits... in Swedish, presumably. Can you clarify how you ascertained that these sources (which I presume you saw too) are not RS? Is this a common term, or what? Jclemens (talk) 03:36, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a common term because "Mumintrollet" is the name for Moomintroll in Swedish; the only hits I can find are false positives. Neelix (talk) 03:26, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak merge to Moomin#TV series and films. One Google News hit (Mumintrollet och kometjakten, Svenska Dagbladet, SvD Kultur, 8th October 2010), is about the Moomins and the Comet Chase film, a compilation of another series from 1977-82. Another hit talks about the same thing, (Film: Mumintrollet och kometjakten, Svenska Dagbladet, SvD Kultur, 3rd September 2010), and notes that Tove Jansson herself oversaw the animation. Could not find anything about the 1969 series itself. But that, of course, is only evidence of a negative, not proof, hence the 'weak'. Anarchangel (talk) 22:40, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above, no souces, no article in Swedish WP nor in other wikis, it does not appear notable enough to have a separate article, we even miss some key information (ie the channel in which it was broadcasted). I'd say merge to Moomin#TV series and films, but there isn't too much merge-worthy, except the fact it was directed by Vivica Bandler and it had 13 episodes.

Merge to Moomin#TV series and films per Anarchangel. Bearian (talk) 21:03, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
