| Submission declined on 8 February 2024 by DoubleGrazing (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. The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Alfie Atkins. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

Comment: Based on the sources cited, I'm doubtful whether this is notable enough a topic to warrant its own article. How about merging the salient content into the main Alfie Atkins article instead? DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:53, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
