[edit] STORYFix

Non-notable TV show Computerjoe's talk 07:25, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep, I'm not sure a BBC News 24 satirical program fails notability. But then, I don't live in the UK either. HumbleGod 07:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Only 31 unique hits on Google UK; you'd think a significant BBC show would attract more attention in two months. RGTraynor 09:47, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I don't think a weekly 5 minute section (out of 10080 minutes of broadcast each week) warrants it's own article. It is already mentioned in the main BBC News 24 article DavidHumphreys ^{SPEAK TO ME}ABOUT _{THE THINGS I MESSED UP} 13:48, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. It isn't even the case that every BBC 1 programme is automatically notable, and it certainly isn't the case for the digital/satellite channels, which have a considerably smaller audience. — Haeleth Talk 15:18, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - per HumbleGod (I don't live in the UK either) --Kungfu Adam ^(talk) 17:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with BBC News 24, if there is anything in the article not already in that one. I live in the UK, and have never heard of this. Admittedly, I watch very little TV, and do not have BBC News 24. This doesn't seem overly notable in itself. J Milburn 18:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I have watched BBC News 24 (it's pretty much BBC World for Brits, and not many Brits sit and watch this channel, let me assure you) - this show is mentioned over at the main article ("but as yet there seems to be no fixed broadcast time"), and I think that's an accurate reflection re current notability in this case. --DaveG12345 21:59, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - it is being broadcasted by BBC (though I am not living in UK either). --WinHunter ^(talk) 14:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

  Notability is not inherited. Computerjoe's talk 15:09, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I have watched this show once, on BBCi! That is not really notable... Computerjoe's talk 15:11, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep It is actually a great deal more noteworthy than many of the more popularised comedy shows on Wikipedia.--87.80.234.203 17:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - sourced, verifiable stub on a programme broadcast by a notable channel. --Muchness 22:37, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Not just because I wrote the article! It's a notable show for departing from the rolling news idea and the BBC's general impartiality and actually breaking away from the typical format and expectation, more like Have I Got News For You and has shown some boldness by the corporation. Also prominently featured on the BBC news website each Friday and available over the weekend on interactive digital TV. --GoAround 13:54, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
