[edit] Super Comet: After The Impact
No independent reliable sources, fails the primary notability criterion. Was prodded, the editor who removed the prod said that the show is "being discussed primarily on blogs", which do not confer notability. Huon (talk) 11:30, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- I have had a look at the 200-odd Google hits, and lo and behold, there were a few newspaper reviews, bestowing what I'd call borderline notability. I've added them to the article, and though I strongly disagree with 23skidoo's "blogs confer notability" approach, I withdraw my nomination, closing this AfD as there were no delete !votes.

- Keep, and as I indicated (I'm the editor referenced above) Wikipedia's policies need to be updated for 2008 with regards to blogs. That notwithstanding, this is a production of a major television network -- Discovery Channel -- and it has been broadcast internationally. It is also on DVD. Based upon precedent set many times before, nationally broadcast television programs by nationally available networks are inherently notable. If there was doubt that this production existed or if the article was a hoax, then I could see the logic in deleting it. But as it happened I removed the PROD and revised the article as best I could while the show was being broadcast, so I can attest that it exists. The fact it doesn't have a ton of websites associated with it is a case of Web Bias; I simply haven't had time to go hunting for newspaper articles and the like associated with it. The original version of the article that was PROD'ed had no categories, and was just a very rough one-line nothing. It's still a stub, but its one that can be expanded. 23skidoo (talk) 13:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
