Why this record matters
“My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic season 6” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Little, Pony and Friendship provides the most credible route into that argument.

The linked authority identifier is Q23022559. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2016 and 2015.
