Notability

I still do not see how this is meeting WP:NF. The only coverage we have is from social media posts of those involved (not independent), reprint of a press release from Animation Magazine, a passing mention in an obit and a non-notable blog review (which I have removed today as these should not be used in prose anyways). Can anyone find any actual coverage of this film that would help meet the guideline? BOVINEBOY2008 23:12, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I added the review[1] it is not The New York Times but what makes you call it a "blog review"? (I didn't see a review for it on CommonSenseMedia.org yet, but it hasn't even been a week.)

It is brand new, only released September 14, 2021. I'd expect sources to be sparse for this kind of direct to video feature. I've no particular interest in keeping or deleting this article but it doesn't seem significantly worse than a whole lot of other DTV articles in general, or the various other Scooby direct-to-video movies in particular. -- 109.79.173.243 (talk) 02:45, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Screen-connections review is not a notable review because it is not done by a nationally known critic. The idea here is not to compare against other articles that exist - some may argue that those may also need to be discussed. We need to make sure this film meets WP:NF if it is going to continue to be a stand-alone article. BOVINEBOY2008 10:55, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just tagged the article for lack of notability. I did a search and could not find any secondary sources that are independent of the topic and provide significant coverage of it beyond a mere trivial mention. There are no critical reviews from Rotten Tomatoes. Actually, looking at other pages of direct-to-video releases of Scooby-Doo, they don't seem notable either. However, I'm not trying to make it a battle (there's a lot those articles). It's like they exist merely because it's a Scooby-Doo movie. Mike Allen 01:24, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relation to Cartoon Network Studios

I'm getting really tired of deleting falsely attributed information. I did not see that the Cartoon Network animation studio helped produce this crossover. Yes, it's the same property of WarnerMedia, but it was never credited in the movie proper (the logo would have appeared in the end). So, for the person that keeps changing it: list sources before adding something. Ромми (talk) 08:55, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You can request that the article be locked. This users seems to be making disruptive edits across multiple articles for years now. See also Talk:Enola_Holmes_(film)#Warner_Bros._is_not_involved_with_Enola_Holmes. -- 109.78.193.17 (talk) 16:08, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

clarify

Part of the first paragraph says "The film is a crossover between Scooby-Doo and the Cartoon Network show Courage the Cowardly Dog, since the series ended in 2002, followed by a CGI short (titled The Fog of Courage) in 2014." and I think that part should be clarified. Which series? Feels like some words missing. Perhaps change to "The film is a crossover between Scooby-Doo and the Cartoon Network show Courage the Cowardly Dog. The film is the 2nd Courage video released since the Courage series ended in 2002, with an earlier CGI short (titled The Fog of Courage) released in 2014."
