[edit] VIP Passport

VIP Passport (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• As of 23 Dec 2006, there is no listing for VIP Passport at TV Guide. [1]

• VIP Passport is also not listed at Fox's website (where the article says the show premiered). [2]

• There is no IMDB page for VIP Passport. IMDB has a page for pretty much every television show, no matter how small or short-lived.

• Official websites for TV shows (especially syndicated shows) always have a list of when the show is on and on what channel. Not so over at VIP Passport. [3]

• There is no website for the production company, Lux Entertainment.

• There's no review of VIP Passport on variety.com or hollywoodreporter.com - seldom do both entertainment trade papers fail to review (or refuse to review) a television series.

• I'm not sure what to make of this. Was this an infomercial maybe? It certainly doesn't bear any of the hallmarks of a TV show (industry trade reviews, listings, IMDB page, etc.). TruthGal 21:56, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I have to say that I am very confused about the show. A Google search for the title reveals some vague references to a show on Fox that premiered in October or November, but no concrete information exists. I really don't know what to make of it, however as no reputable source can even support the existence of the show I have to vote for deletion. TSO1D 00:32, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Virtually no evidence that it exists, let alone that it's notable. Tevildo 01:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This is a syndicated show that appears to air on weekend late nights, not strictly a Fox-affiliated show. According to the show's local listings, it doesn't air in New York City, so I would never have had the chance to see the show. But I picked an affiliate at random: WJBK in Detroit, and it is listed in their local listings for Monday (or Sunday broadcast day) at 2:00 AM, as the VIP show says. Nevertheless, the show is not notable per TruthGal and Nate. Tinlinkin 01:10, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Late night weekend time-filler that is as unexceptional as other time-filler efforts like Byron Allen's many low budget shows and Livin' Large (a show of this same type that starred Carmen Electra back in 2004). If you take away all the promo-speak, you can pretty much write this article as A broadcast version of the 2,129 shows about fancy cars/gadgets, celebrities, parties, and celebrity parties that currently air on VH1 and E!. Yes, it exists (as a syndicated program not exclusive to Fox; I see it as on at 1:05am tonight on WITI in Milwaukee), but without Trishelle from the Real World, it's just another hour designed to fill a timeslot. And I think that HR and Variety didn't bother to review it because they usually don't do reviews for shows like this. Nate 03:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. MER-C 03:45, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete no really notable.-- danntm ^T _C 04:40, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete without prejudice to later re-creation. If it eventually gets an IMDb listing and survives for a while, it probably will be notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. --Metropolitan90 06:02, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. It was announced here and shows up here. Not notable-- as per above. Delete without prejudice to later re-creation. Nephron  T|C 18:05, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
