[edit] Faux pause
Unreferenced article about a TV show. No idea how long it ran for, or indeed pretty much anything else about it. Guy (Help!) 09:56, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

- Comment It ran for 12 episodes in 1998 and was subsequently dropped for lack of popularity. (this from what I've found on a brief Google search). Suriel1981 10:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete by the way. Suriel1981 10:05, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Weak delete per this search, which I think is just below our notability threshold. Addhoc 12:10, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I was sort of in the middle of getting screenshots/more info about this show. There are dozens of other television articles that don't belong here. FamicomJL 16:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. Please add any sources you can get, before this AfD discussion is over (they usually last five days, if a clear consensus has not been reached). Also, you may want to read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. And if you feel that other television articles don't belong here, perhaps you should consider nominating them for deletion. —Carolfrog 00:11, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. How would you do that? Sorry, I'm still a newbie at this kind of stuff...Its not very easy to find a lot of info on this show, without it either being a post saying "IT SUCKED. YEAH...", or anything. I'm trying the best I can to get this article done. It truly WAS cancelled by Game Show Network because it was considered tasteless, with particulary bad jokes, and especially disrespectful ones...I do believe one of those heads said that it was cancelled due to "high demand". I wish GSN had archived such press releases from way back then...FamicomJL 04:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

- Actually... that doesn't sound like a bad idea. Maybe just a small blurb? I would like for it to get full article status...but whatever makes everyone else happy is okay with me. FamicomJL 04:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - I added the first realiable source reference I could find. It's from Time Magazine, which is the only searchable, free news archive that's any good that I know of. It's going to be hard to find info about this game show, but not impossible. Let it live. If I have to cite a guideline, I guess it's that Notability is permanent. If famous newspapers didn't charge to search their archives, I'd ref it a bunch right now. Let it live until wikpedians can get some sort of bulk discount on the reliable sources of the past. - Peregrine Fisher 10:18, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:NOTABILITY and WP:NOT#PAPER. Matthew 10:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
