Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bob the Builder (character)
The article in its current state warrants notability tag, BUT sources identified above by Coolabahapple show the topic is notable. 1) https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1046/j.1365-232X.2001.00197.x This has several paragraphs, through reading them it seems the discussion of the show and the character is very intertwined (PSA: use Library Genesis to read the article if you struggle with non-OA sources). 2) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0885201414000586 is not in-depth and uses the character just as a semi-random example for study whether kids can confuse real world with fictional, it does not discuss the show or the character. So those are the fail. And I want to explicitly address the part of the article recently added sourced to one of them that states "The character of Bob the Builder has helped to change negative stereotypes of construction workers among children." The source article DOES NOT make it clear if it refers to BtB a character, or BtB the show. BtB helped change the stereotypes, but BtB the show and BtB the character are very hard to distinguish in this context. But the rest of the sources do seem do discuss the character, due to their 'makeover' from mid-2010s. It's borderline, but I think that this can be kept due to the discussion of this one aspect of the character, since we do have 2+ RS on this (and more can be easily found: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/29596319/bob-the-builder-gets-a-makeover-with-new-look-and-voice, http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/29596319/bob-the-builder-gets-a-makeover-with-new-look-and-voice, https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/new-bob-the-builder-twitter-reacts-to-characters-modern-makeover-9790794.html. All that said, I do wonder if in this case there is much separation between the show and the character. Essentially, it's a  type of coverage
