Propose deleting Category:Cartoons animated with Toon Boom (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Categorization on a non-defining characteristic. Of the 91 now 98 articles in this category, literally fewer than 10 of them even mention Toon Boom anywhere but the category declaration itself, and thus most of the entries aren't even verifiably members of this category at all (and there's also an IP number who repeatedly adds this to other cartoons as well, without showing any reliable source verification that they would actually belong in it either) — and even the few articles that do actually mention Toon Boom still fail to suggest a reason why its creators having used Toon Boom would render these shows into a defined and recognized group, distinct from shows created in any other animation software. If reliable sources discussed and analyzed Toon Boom having a discernible effect on the finished product, so that "Toon Boom shows" were identifiably a different type of thing than "non-Toon Boom shows", then there would be a valid basis for this category — but without that, it's just production trivia rather than a defining characteristic of the shows.
