[edit] Homeless in Denton

Yes, this entry should be deleted. The only argument I could see is for indirect inclusion if it were mentioned in passing in a single article or stub discussing university and junior college local-access TV programming, with a link perhaps to the NTTV article. I live in Denton and have seen the show and although it's not my cup of tea, the work ethic of the producers, somewhat ironically, is notable insofar as they keep cranking out content. Still: there are many, many thousands of local-access tv programs being produced all over the country, and most do not merit their own entry. Should every program aired by a local television station in the US get a wiki entry? It has nothing to do with the point(s) of view expressed or production values, but the questions of

1.site bloat and ensuring that the finite,nonprofit resources of wikipedia are not squandered on ephemera, and

2. the question of wikipedia's struggle for credibility in the eyes of the general public. Jonathan Versen 10:20, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

It is very notable if you are from North Texas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.148.10.46 (talk • contribs)

  • Delete There are too many local cable shows cropping up by people who seem to believe that making a Wikipedia page is the ticket to national fame. Sorry, but no. Danny Lilithborne 22:40, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as unverified. nn. Ziggurat 00:17, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete not currently notable as far as I can see. DrunkenSmurf 02:20, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete agree with DannyLitithborne above.
  • DO NOT DELETE, the person who created this page has no affiliation with the show. And no, it would not be notable, unless AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED, you live in Denton. In which case it is incredibly notable. It is a legitimate and actual television program. Furthurmore, following the previous arguments for deletion, every entry that applies to only a specific geographic location, or is not widely known should be marked for deletion as well. This isn't NAZIpedia for god sakes, its wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Osro 19:04, 21 June 21 2006 - User's 6th edit (talk • contribs)
  • Yeah, and per your last comment. it's not Flame-o-pedia, Godwin's-Law-pedia, or -- most importantly -- Dentonpedia. Important in Denton (assuming that's true) doesn't necessarily mean important anywhere else. --Calton | Talk 00:55, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. The less said about the Ghits... well, I got 10 results, six of those being about actual homeless people. One website appeared to directly address the series, and I think it's the producers' website. Two mentions from MySpace. Not that Google should be the be-all of notability, but the worst Ghits I'd recall being debated before was, like, 100. Tychocat 09:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
  • DO NOT DELETE You know what, you guys take yourselves way too seriously. An encyclopedia is supposed to be a compendium of all knowledge, I guess you all missed that. And Calton, did you come up with "Flame-o-pedia" all by yourself, or did you receive some help on that one big boy? You people are jokes.

  • Someone who thinks "Nazipedia" is clever is criticizing MY choices? Pull the other one. --Calton | Talk 06:19, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
