Generally speaking, the perception that an article is fancruft can be a contributing factor in its nomination and deletion, but it is not the actual reason for deletion. Rather, the term fancruft is a shorthand for content which one or more editors consider unencyclopaedic, possibly to the extent of violating policies on verifiability, neutrality or original research.
Nothing on this page strikes me as violating policies on verifiability, neutrality or original research. Is it of value? Obviously not to those not interested in KND. But that is true for almost all television based wikistuff. I find KND to be well-written and immaginative, offering interesting paradoies of other television concepts. So much so, that I have made passing references to the show in courses I teach. Having a comprehensive list of episodes and technology references would be of value to me (and possibly others). I don't want to overstate this--obviously it is still basically a kid's show and I think its ultimate penetration into the marketplace of ideas will be limited.
