[edit] YTV Japan

YTV Japan (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

There is no such channel as YTV Japan. Also, the "history" goes back to 1960, while YTV itself signed on in Canada in 1988. The poster, Odin_Swidzinski, created this article solely for his own amusement, and has created similar articles containing 100% fiction, or has altered existing articles to reflect his own vision, like he did to the real YTV article. I originally marked this article as 'Patent Nonsense" because that's how I feel it is. This article was nominated again for Proposal for Deletion, but Odin removed the tags with no reason. The fact that this article is fiction is grounds for deletion. Previous unsigned comment by Asumanga1 & Categorizing debate: M (Media and music). ◄Zahakiel► 19:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Lousy writing in article, but it certainly appears noteworthy as a subject, and I do recall seeing YTV in Montreal when younger. --Auto(talk / contribs) 20:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Please note that this is For YTV Japan. It is alledgely a version of YTV that existed almost 30 years before the original (the one you saw). In short, there is a YTV but this is not it. --64.229.73.133 22:34, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete: Remember that YTV signed on in 1988; the poster said that YTV Japan opened in 1960, 28 years before its parent channel. Also, Odin tried to alter the main YTV article to say that they returned to the 1980s logo. Before you say "keep", make sure you check all the facts.. -- azumanga 20:16, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete this nonsense. There is a YTV Japan ([1]) but this is not it. Guy (Help!) 23:53, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. -- Neier 01:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I knew this was a hoax the moment I saw the YTV Canada logo. While there are Canadian networks that have opened international branches such as MuchMusic, YTV Canada isn't one of them and it certainly wasn't based upon any Japanese network. 23skidoo 02:56, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: Apparently, Odin is adamant on keeping his YTV Japan article up -- he deleted the deletion tags for the article. Luckily, someone had the sense to revert. -- azumanga 03:45, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
