[edit] The puppy channel

advertising for a small cable channel business, fails to assert notability. Dismas|(talk) 03:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep - I created the article and I'm in no way connected with the puppy channel, there is nothing left to advertise if it was advertising. It's important enclyopdeic information because it is the puppy channel, the first vision and attempt at execution of puppies(and very very small partial execution in terms of 3 channels playing it two hours a week) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 203.112.2.212 04:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable cable channel that failed years ago. Fan1967 04:09, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, checks out on Google. Anyone can get an hour on public access, but setting up a 24-hour channel in four markets takes some effort... and in this case, some very naive investors. Gazpacho 04:17, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Please see http://207.70.82.73/pages/descriptions/03/233.html for it's notablity 203.112.2.212 04:18, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • weak keep --MacRusgail 04:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but cleanup. --RPIRED 05:16, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep if someone will rid this article of the POV advertising stench. Royboycrashfan 06:20, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, verifiable cable channel. Although 203.112.2.212 gives the impression it's a cable channel about the execution of puppies, which would be awesome, and I would watch it all the time. Proto||type 08:40, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
I thought the same thing too the first time I read it, lol --Hetar 08:55, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Be careful with what you say. When I put this up for deletion, the creator of the article vandalized my user page with the non-existant user box "user hatespuppies". Dismas|(talk) 09:30, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - Article should be renamed to The Puppy Channel if kept, per grammar, WP:MoS and sanity. Proto||type 11:31, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete uncited, largely unverifiable (which channels carried it?), no longer existent, no evidence it was influential (no spinoffs, no followup). As stated above, the execution idea has legs; a channel about puppies? Anyone watching it would surely lose the will to live almost immediately. Just zis Guy you know? 13:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
The channel is an obvious inspiration for the Puppy_Bowl a major Animal Planet yearly event. 203.112.2.212 14:21, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. --Terence Ong 14:43, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, but decide on correct capitalisation of name, and some tidy-up needed. Sure, it's not a major channel and isn't likely to be, but there are many far less notable things on Wikipedia. Fourohfour 15:12, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment, oh and the "puppy executing" comment jumped out at me when I read it as well. I put it in BJAODN for posterity. I apologise if it sounds like I'm mocking the contributor's English; it's not really that bad, it's just one of those unfortunate uses of language.... most of which are made by native English speakers. See Colemanballs for some good examples. Fourohfour 15:33, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep cable networks are notable, and the main reason to delete doesn't make sense--it can't be advertising if the network no longer exists. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:59, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Something that was only carried in four small markets, and then only briefly? Does this mean I get to write an article about the Boston community access cable channel, because at least half a million people could watch it if they chose? Delete the hell out of this puppy! RGTraynor 19:51, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep this an all cable channels past and present. They are inherently notable. The nominator must hate puppies (lol). savidan(talk) (e@) 22:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I just heard an ad on NPR for a program that's going to cover the Puppy Channel. A google search indicates that it's been covered by NPR before, too. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 12:08, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and fix grammar: Civilization needs this information because sooner or later someone will try to start a Puppy Channel. Peter Grey 06:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
