Fails WP:GNG. I don't understand why people create what are clearly placeholder articles hoping someone else will expand the article to show notability. I looked at the German Wikipedia article, and it barely has anything in it, either. IMDb indicates this is a show with 13 episodes, i.e., it didn't last long. If someone wants to look at German sources to see whether notability can be demonstrated and the article expanded, knock yourself out. I'll probably get grief for nominating the article, but either the article will be deleted or it will be expanded into, uh, more than one sentence. Bbb23 (talk) 15:21, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. The German article is a substub as well. The article should be merged into the article on One Foot in the Grave of which it is the German remake.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 15:42, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - Merge will not work here because there is no content to merge. This looks like just another typical new article for Dr. Blofeld who has created thousands of these type of sub-stub placeholder articles, with no references and no content to speak of. He should have his auto-patrolled rights revoked because too many of his articles are very short, unreferenced, no content, and suspect notability, and they need to be patrolled.

Delete or Redirect. Per Back-a-boot. Who writes articles like this, without any refs? Not good.--Epeefleche (talk) 03:56, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
