ICarly and ICarly (2021 TV series) are not separate series, so we do not need an article for this. Bradford (Talk) 14:32, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The show is suppose to be different from the original series. It was described in every sources, "it won't focus on the title character doing a webshow but her life in the 20s." kpgamingz (rant me) 15:25, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- A revival is like: The Mafia Dolls, and El man es Germán. The fact that now the plot focuses on something else, does not mean that they will be different series. Bradford (Talk) 15:49, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - A silly argument: it's absolutely a different series – it doesn't even have the same cast. Bottom line: Not every "revival" should be treated as a continuation of the original series (in fact, I'd argue that none of them should as they all have massive true "production breaks" in between). But, regardless, this is not a direct continuation of the original series, which is good because it side-steps the incredibly contentious issue as to whether this would be "season 6", "season 7" or "season 8" of the original – and, luckily, no WP:RS describe it as such anyway. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:10, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The original series was completed 8 years ago. Other than the name and some of the cast this is a new and different series with different premise and different story to tell. It is cleaner to just keep the original article showing a completed original series and this one is a spin-off. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:25, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Cast changes, different premise and format, different transmission format, and it would undoubtedly bloat the original series article. It's appropriate to keep them both separate as-is for now; if they pretty much share stuff, then we can determine a merger down the line. Nate • (chatter) 17:00, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I can't really tell if this is a new season or a new series. The article for IGoodbye, the series finale for ICarly, claims that this is a new season. There seems to be conflicting messages from sources which seem to be referring to this as both, while others just use the term "revival". I think we oughtta get a consensus on this.--🌀Locomotive207-talk🌀 (Formerly Kieran207) 00:14, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This isn't a pressing issue to determine today. We can easily wait to see a few episodes before it can be decided to be a reboot or a restart. The Wikipedia servers won't break down because we have two different iCarly articles in the meantime. Nate • (chatter) 04:57, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and with no deletion rationale given, I considered prefixing 'speedy'. There is no indication for deletion here. At worst, there may be one for merging, which is conducted in a different forum -- and there doesn't even seem to be that. Vaticidalprophet 05:17, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - seems substantially different enough to warrant its own article from what we know, and most reboots I've seen of this nature are formatted similarly, with seperate pages (eg. Animaniacs) AxoIotI (talk) 07:01, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The series is covered by many reliable sources, so it definitely doesn't belong at AfD, either keep or merge(with the older TV series under the same name). I would go with keep for now, and then go for consensus whether to merge or not. QuantumRealm (meow • pawtrack) 08:50, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
