The page has existed since 2012 and there's almost nothing here. Category:Canadian animated television series does a better job. Fuddle ( talk) 18:04, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:CLN. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 19:02, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- WP:CLN does not require that a category and a list always coexist for the same grouping of topics — there are certainly circumstances where we should rightly have both, but I don't see this as one of them. The "list" is just a poorly maintained and extremely minimal selection that should be hundreds of entries larger than it is, and the category is not diffused into the array of subcategories that it would take to make the list useful as an alternate method of navigation. So this doesn't fall into the set of situations where a category and a list are both needed; it falls into the set where the list is just "because we can" duplication that has absolutely no value whatsoever. And for added bonus, I can't find any indication that any other country has its own standalone "List of (Country) animated television series" — everything else in Category:Lists of animated television series is a list by year, by decade or by method of animation, and this is the only one by country.

- Keep. It provides more info than the category. No valid reasons for deletion have been offered. Being incomplete and the fact that there are no other country lists don't qualify. Clarityfiend ( talk) 21:28, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
