Article doesn't seems to be notable. I can't find sources to prove the character's notability nor do the sources listed provide any in depth or significant coverage. Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:36, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Kung Fu Panda characters. Basically fancruft as it stands now. No prejudice towards recreation if actual reliable sources are found. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:01, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify Article itself is notable as a (popular) animation's protagonist. More sources can be provided in draftspace. Redirect+Merge can also be possible. Timothytyy (talk) 00:55, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep 1, 2, 3 academic sources. There are more... and for the life of me I have no idea why. Yet, there they are, and contain a diverse set of views of Po (and the other KFP characters) to write decent encyclopedia articles. Thus, it's an editing issue, and I appreciate that no one has seriously suggested the article be deleted, which would clearly be inappropriate regardless of the current state of the article.

This is WP:ITSNOTABLE without actual proof of such, maybe try adding the sources to the article instead of making statements like "it's OBVIOUSLY notable" without evidence. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:01, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If someone else (like me) posted sources before the comment, it would be AGFing to assume that the comment is referencing the other sources previously posted. Jclemens (talk) 22:19, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Jclemens has provided academic papers that studied Kung Fu Panda which also covers the character Po. While I can't access ~~#2 and~~ #3 papers, I believe they also study about Po, thus has WP:GNG — DaxServer (t · m · c) 21:25, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Number 2 I was able to reach with no login, but it may be region-restricted. Number 3 I have access to through a university library. Let me know if you need any quotes or anything. There are plenty of less-good references in the academic literature; these looked solid and diverse from each other. Again, I have no idea why anyone thinks KFP is a great topic of academic investigation, but a lot of authors from Indian universities seem to think it is.

The Cloudfront URL gives me Access Denied error, but the DOI works. I believe you've verified #3 — DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:16, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
