[edit] Russell Brand's Ponderland

Russell Brand's Ponderland (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unsourced one-line article, little context, and no reliable third party soucres showing us notability. Carlossuarez46 22:09, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep - I tend to think that programs aired for a national audience are inherently notable. I've fleshed out the article a bit - enough to where a reader can actually tell what s/he's reading about. --Hyperbole 23:02, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Appears to pass WP:N. See the AfDs for House Auction and The KNTV Show (both of which I created the articles for and were kept).-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 23:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep is on one of the only five terrestrial channels in the UK, and is a notable departure for russell as it's more of his own stand up comedy rather than just presenting a show. [1] strong mention in the guardian, [2] review in 'time out', paragraph in the telegraph [3] [4] review by someone else at channel 4, now I know the Sun is not RS for gossip, but for discussion/review I think it contributes a bit [5] a very long article in the New Statesman lol [6] happy now?:) Might not seem like it to those in the US, but that means the show's been mentioned in most of the main papers in the UK, and discussed at length.Merkinsmum 00:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment If you're going to research all those references, it really wouldn't hurt to put them in the article :) --Hyperbole 01:56, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Yes, please do so or let me know and I'll do it. Thanks for digging these up.--A. B. ^(talk) 03:58, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
