Internet cartoon

This article attempts to describe the phenomenon of animated shorts and series (chiefly Macromedia Flash animation) distributed primarily on the web. While Flash animation subculture is certainly a worthy topic, there's virtually nothing salvagable in this article. I would only see it as a cleanup candidate were it not crowned with the arbitrary and erroneous title of Internet cartoon. (Neither Internet nor cartoon is appropriate here, and the term Internet cartoon does not enjoy wide use.)

Since any objective cleanup attempt would necessitate both a page move and and a near-total rewrite, I see no reason to harbor a misinformative article in the interim. – Ringbang 21:17, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete and redirect to Animated cartoon. "Internet cartoon" is just a medium, not a genre. (Consider There she is!! and The Demented Cartoon Movie) --Billpg 21:20, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• I'd say a better redirect would be webcomic, but I'm flexible. CDC (talk) 21:59, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  • So am I. I only suggested Animated cartoon as this article and the "What links here" are about animated stuff. --Billpg 00:29, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect to Animated cartoon. They're definitely akin to webcomics, but as an art form these animations function as a type of animated cartoon, while meeting very few of the necessary and sufficient conditions for comics (regardless of visual style or context). –Ringbang 12:36, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nom --Rogerd 05:11, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete the article, salvage the list and a few notes, and put it on the Cartoon page, if there's a list of how many types of cartoons there are.
• Keep and cleanup. Valid topic, no reason given for deletion.  Grue  18:20, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
