Semi-advertorialized article about a television show, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:TVSHOW. This was originally created by a user named "RealLife" (and thus probably a conflict of interest) in 2007, a time when we basically extended a notability freebie to any television show whose existence was verifiable at all -- but the notability standards have long since been tightened up considerably, and now require the show to actually pass WP:GNG on its sourceability. This show, however, just doesn't have the coverage required: the article cites no sources at all besides the show's own self-published content about itself, and even on a ProQuest search for older sourcing that wouldn't have Googled, I only found one article and one short blurb within the local coverage area of the host station, which isn't enough -- it verifies that the show existed, but failed to support anything else this article says, such as any of the claims about guests or remote visits to travel destinations or being added to the lineup of a cable channel, and I can find no source whatsoever that establishes when the show ended, either. There just isn't enough coverage out there to salvage this with. Bearcat (talk) 23:09, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No significant independent coverage. Fails WP:NTVNATL and WP:GNG. BruceThomson (talk) 01:06, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. In 2007, we had much more lax standards in the Wild west days here. In 2023, we all know that we are much more rigorous and strict about what we include here. Bearian (talk) 12:29, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
