[edit] Follow me!
I can find no reference to this program. Grant it the name is somewhat open ended if you will. I found a reference to an ESL program called "Speak To Me" that may be related. James084 19:28, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. I remember watching the program in TV in Argentina; I'll look for more info to add. -- dockingmantalk 07:44, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: there is a reference to the show at Follow Me (disambiguation), dated before than the creation of the Follow me! article, and by a different editor. -- dockingmantalk 07:44, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment 2: There is at least a reference from BBC having such a show and its success in China; [1]. I can't seem to find what would be the notability criteria for TV shows... any ideas? -- dockingmantalk 07:58, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached

- Delete, article does not assert the notability of subject. The one reference is a trivial mention in passing by one of the involved parties. -- Chondrite 20:15, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
"Keep" Follow me was a popular english course from the BBC that you would buy in a set of Video Cassettes in Colombia where it was well known. I was trying to find references in internet about this program because I just remember one of its funny musical didactical scenes
- Keep - I found several references to the show, including this article (middle of page 2) which asserts that 100 million Chinese people watched.--Kubigula (talk) 17:08, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- That's another passing reference, it does comment that the program was widely viewed in China but does not cover the subject in depth sufficient to support an article. Chondrite 06:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- True. I guess my point is that if 100 million Chinese watched the show, then it must be notable. So, I think it is worth keeping as a stub and giving people a chance to flesh it out and find information and sources.--Kubigula (talk) 14:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- The problem is that it is not possible to write a proper encyclopedia article on any subject tha conforms to Wikipedia content policies without relying on in-depth coverage by multiple, independent, reliable sources. -- Chondrite 18:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

- Keep - Proper TV programme; but more sources needed otherwise it will, eventually be Deleted. 86.20.53.195 17:36, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia does not need to provide an article covering every television program that has ever been produced. WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE -- Chondrite 18:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge with BBC - series presented by national television networks are sufficiently notable, but there's not quite enough here to stand alone. B.Wind 03:01, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
