Nature Walks with Mark Fraser

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested speedy. Local public access television show with no notability indicated. Only sources are a community newspaper (not generally good enough for WP:RS) and a YouTube channel, and there's significant evidence that the article's creator and main editor has been Mark Fraser himself. No vote from me as this is procedural, but I will say that I can't see how the topic could ever meet WP:N. Bearcat (talk) 16:41, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(reposted from article talk page): Keep article is validated and plausible.-207.2.121.202 (talk) 17:17, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral as challenging party, but I did contest the speedy under the rationale that A7 doesn't apply to TV shows. MLauba (talk) 17:22, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (and if kept moved to Mark Fraser.) This article is not about the TV show, despite its title, it is about Mark Fraser. That being said, it still isn't a CSD candidate (the letter from the senator and the "millions of people" are claims to significance/importance.) That being said, the "Tv Show" doesn't indicate if this was a one shot paid program or a regular show on the local PBS station. Similarly, his going on nature walks is something park rangers do around the country. It would need a fair amount of work to prove truly notable.---Balloonman ^{NO!

It wasn't on a PBS station — it was on a cable public access channel. Bearcat (talk) 22:14, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment For completeness' sake, one may also consult User talk:NWWMF and Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 March 27#Nature Walks, where similar arguments were held close to the article's creation time. MLauba (talk) 23:10, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The only source in the article that might show notability is a deadlink, and appears to be his local newspaper. "Nature Walks with Mark Fraser" gets just 12 non-wiki ghits, none of which show notability, and no gnews hits. Removing the quotes to find notability about the individual, the best I could come up with is this and this Discovery Channel blog entry.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 01:19, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Several news stories but in hometown paper. Insufficient notability. Sadly. ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:04, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
