Merger discussion[edit]

Request received to merge articles: Checkered Past (TV programming block) into Adult Swim; dated: May 2024. Proposer's Rationale: Widely unsourced "block within a block" that is non-notable for its own article, proposing consolidation into a section in the Adult Swim article. Discuss here. MikeM2011 (talk) 16:07, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Toonami Rewind is merged into the main Toonami article, and this block is basically an equivalent in terms to its non-notability. I believe ACME Night was also dissolved and merged for a similar reason just a little over a year ago, correct?--GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 03:20, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply: Correct, many other blocks and other special programs on Cartoon Network (i.e. Tickle U, Miguzi, Cartoon Theatre) were also merged into the network's article or deleted altogether for the same reasons. Most of CN's blocks outside of Adult Swim and Toonami aren't notable, memorable, or widely sourced enough to warrant their own individual articles. MikeM2011 (talk) 12:52, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
