Appears to be a hoax: there does not appear to be any such station named "Spacetoon" either in Fukuoka or in Japan at all. Searching for both "Spacetoon" and its katakana transliteration "スペーストゥーン" result in zero relevant hits. The official website listed in the article is dead, and according to the Wayback Machine, no such website ever existed.

Delete Might want to look at
Spacetoon (Pakistan),
Spacetoon English,
Spacetoon and
Space Power TV and
Spacetoon Plus; I think you've stumbled upon a walled garden of HOAX articles that have gotten through our processes simply due to lack of knowledge and outright evading any
WP:TV tagging that could have red-flagged any of these articles (notably they mainly contain no information about any channel positions anywhere, and what few do name the positions of other networks entirely; for instance it's clearly unlikely that
DirecTV carries it on Channel 82 in the US, and
LifeStyle in Australia wouldn't appreciate them taking their rightful claim on channel 106 on Foxtel). There are sites connected to these pages, but since they contain the text "This is an area on your website where you can add text. This section can serve as an informative location on your website, where you can talk about your site", they might be someone's creation without any network to connect them to (or more likely it's limited to the Middle East region and a hoaxer decided to go hogwild using this as their base). As for this...to say the entire 'planet' scheduling concept would be accepted by any programmer is questionable in Japanese, English or even Klingon; this article makes no sense at all and is unrescuable, and completely false.

@
Mrschimpf: Searching around, it seems at the very least Spacetoon Plus (which is based in Indonesia) is an actual station which does exist. The others also do appear to exist, it's only "Spacetoon Japan" which appears to be a hoax.

Speedy Delete as a hoax. I also cannot find any indication this exists in Japan. But it is also clear that Spacetoon does exist in the UAE
[1],
[2],
[3],
[4],
[5], etc, so it is not likely the other articles are hoaxes, even if some of the information in those articles may be incorrect.

Delete This is not a hoax, but it is also not notable. Also @
Narutolovehinata5:, the wayback machine indeed doesn't archive every site that ever existed. The way it works is that a user needs to manually enter in the url of an active page into the wayback url prompt to take a "snapshot". -

I see. It seems the website (and the Japan channel for that matter) never existed though, as my search failed to find anything about a Spacetoon presence in Japan, even with additional search terms. Spacetoon is a real channel with affiliates around the world, but Japan doesn't seem to have any of those affiliates.

I would have CFD'd this one then, worst thing to happen is that it is declined. I so far see this as
WP:SNOW though so hopefully the discussion doesn't need to be dragged out for the full 7 days. -
