[edit] DMC.TV
Pretty obvious advertisement Paul C 17:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. TV Channels are usually notable enough. This one is an obvious copyvio from here, but since 48 hours have passed it doesn't merit speedy deletion anymore. — Rebelguys2 talk 18:56, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete: Normally TV channels are notable. However, the article in its current form is more of an advertisement than anything else. --Hetar 20:56, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep we don't delete articles in need of cleanup. — Adrian Lamo ·· 20:59, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- So we leave it as it is, in the hope that some magical fairy is going to come along and wish this advertising into an encyclopedic format? From reading this article, I don't know if this is a free-to-air, cable network, or webcast channel, what nation or language it is in, or anything of an encyclopedic nature. Instead, I'm left with a bad feeling of marketing promotioan mumbo-jumbo, and am being told that "the secrets of life revealed" has something to do with this channel/website/portal/whatever. Heck, the only way I know i's a TV channel is because "TV" is in the article name, and the article throws that into doubt. Delete as copyvio and avertising (not speedy, as the timeframe has passed) unless an encyclopedic stub is produced by the end of this discussion. -- Saberwyn 22:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. The procedure is to keep the article at AfD and slap a copyvio tag on it. List it at pages with copyright problems. If it's not fixed within a week, it'll get deleted there. — Rebelguys2 talk 23:08, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

- Keep. Television channels are notable. I have cleaned the article up. Proto||type 11:38, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. Where did you get the information regarding this being a cable channel? All I see on their website are webcasts and some kind of satellite thing (and even that sounds like you watch it on your computer). ergot 16:27, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Here. It might be satellite rather than cable, but I think this means it's cable. Proto||type 17:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Doesn't seem to be either. You download something called onlinetv.exe and watch those your computer. I didn't see any reference to those streams being available by another route. ergot 19:14, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm. If it's just a streaming video channel, then there needs to be something to establish its notability. I'll look into it, but I might change my vote. Proto||type 10:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for taking the time to clean up the article. Regading the discussion, this page on the web site states it's satellite. On another note, since the article's been wikified, There might be less reason to delete it now. (Though I would stil consider it far less notable than the 6 free TV and the 20 or so cable channels run by UBC, non of which have entries, but I have no idea what their (or other satellite channels') viewership is like, and that shouldn't be the reason this article shouldn't exist anyway.)
