[edit] Union Broadcasting System

The network in Network is the United Broadcasting System, the network in Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is the National Broadcasting System, and even if this article were factually accurate it wouldn't be worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. Greyfedora 02:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Actually, the network in Network (film) is the Union Broadcasting System... but the point stands. Greyfedora 03:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete doesn't need its own article. Why don't people work on fixing existing articles instead of creating endlessly pointless ones? (Yes, I understand the hypocrisy in trolling AfD while making such a statement.) Peyna 18:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep yes i created it, and for a reason. Its a fictional network from two TV shows and a movie and is worth noting. I created it when I saw it linked on those 3 pages and realized it was to the same article.Spookyadler 17:42, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, if there were some sort of common fictional thread it might be worth expanding and saving, but it's less notable than 555 telephone numbers. --Dhartung | Talk 09:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• But 555 phone numbers have their own article.Spookyadler 12:16, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Yes, but I think the point Dhartung was trying to make is that the fact that there are a lot of 555 phone numbers in movies is not conincidental. The fact that there is a television network named the Union Broadcasting System in two movies seems to be coincidental -- maybe if there were some evidence that it isn't the article would be more worthy of inclusion.
