[edit] The ShoW
Prod, but I feel we should have a debate. Prod reason was: "The first Google mention of this item combining terms "the show" and "michigan state" is number 48. I find it difficult to find a reliable mention. Is this notable?" from User:Matthew Platts, who I have notified. I deprodded and brought it here because I find it plausible that The ShoW is the longest-running college sitcom, as the article claims (and as their website claims), and if this can be verified, it seems like a reason to include it. Even if that can't be verified, if the show was created in 1988, that's a really long-running show. Still, I remain neutral. Mangojuicetalk 03:58, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Weak Delete Even if verified I don't think it's sufficiently notable. If anyone can think of applicable Wikipedia policies with which to qualify this article that would help, but I can't think of any. I'm thinking along the lines of things like university performance groups, theatre companies, sketch groups, bands, etc and I just don't think longevity and having a few former members go on to (marginal) fame is enough to establish notability. --TM 14:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as a "student-produced situation comedy" - unless reliable evidence can be found that this is the next Cambridge Footlights. Just zis Guy you know? 13:00, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
