Appears to be an indiscriminate list, there are a few listings that have articles (and may be notable) however it appears there is no clear inclusion policy and much of it appears to be original research. The large swafts of text in Chinese also don't do the article any favours Ajf773 (talk) 04:20, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment This is apparently an incomplete translation job from the Chinese WP; I had removed the "translation pending" notice because I thought it was done, but there are still sections that are entirely in Chinese. My mistake; restored tags. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:04, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note that in the Chinese article [1] a fair number of these are bluelinked, although it is questionable we'll get to that state in the English version. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:06, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Taiwanese animation (with the history preserved under the redirect) in lieu of deletion. Preserving the history is useful so that editors can do a selective merge to Taiwanese animation of any material that can be sourced.

  A concern about this list is that it is unclear which of the animations are notable and which are not. And most of the entries are unsourced. If each entry could be sourced with reliable sources that provide significant coverage of the animation, that would establish the animation is notable, and in my view would be sufficient to undo the redirect and restore the list.

• Delete without redirecting. The task of going through each one, translating the Chinese as well, and culling the non-notable films is enormous. And unlikely to happen. Ifnord (talk) 16:36, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
