IMDB as a source
Hello. As per this guide, IMDb is not considered a reliable source in most cases, as it is user-submitted content. In order to prove the notability of your article's subject, you must provide evidence of significant coverage from reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

Your username also implies that you might have some kind of connection to the subject - is this the case? --Drm310 (talk) 06:16, 10 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello. No, I did not realise at all about imdb - it being a database! I was at the Tv festival and googled and added this page. I guess there will be more pages on line once it airs and it will be covered in main stream. Thank you for your help.


 * Unfortunately that means that the subject isn't sufficiently notable yet. Wikipedia articles are about subjects that have already accumulated sufficient notability by reliable sources. Once there is more mainstream press, then it might be worthy of inclusion.  But for now, I'm sorry to say that I will be re-nominating this article for deletion. --Drm310 (talk) 15:33, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Hell again. Thank you for the update. Are imdb pages really not sufficient? - it linked in with CCTV biggest national television and where I confirmed information. I know to get on imdb you have to evidence from press for them to accept, not just anyone can post there. You have to apply with strict data and proof. Therefore suggesting that must be/and enough evidence of the facts being the facts. I was also going to add some other pages from The International TV fest, but will await update here on this. Thanks for your time.

This link https://secure.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?titleeligibility pretty much shows that a film/TV must already be of public interest to be accepted/very strict and similar of not stricter rules - so I would have to disagree that there is not enough evidence to suggest otherwise or that imdb is self sourced site. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you.
