7 Days (U.S. TV program)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not every TV program that airs on every cable TV network is notable: this one is not – no mentions at all in Variety (and I looked), which generally means program is not notable. And unsourced since at least 2013. IOW, this is a WP:GNG fail. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:46, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Yup, you're right; we don't need to catalog every cable program ever. Yet another Biography clone for then-current NASCAR drivers that I don't doubt was produced by their media arm to fill time on Speed where an infomercial or race couldn't go, and nothing more.

 * Comment It's like no one reads the notability guidelines before contributing to afd discussions, specifically WP:RPRGM which states "Generally, an individual radio or television program is likely to be notable if it airs on a network of radio or television stations (either national or regional in scope), or on a cable television channel with a broad regional or national audience." So yes, while they may not all be notable, nationally produced television series are probably more notable than you think, so next time it would behoove you to do the proper legwork before giving your two cents on an AFD discussion by tossing in a presumably lazy "yup".--Americanfreedom (talk) 21:03, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Um, no – Mrschimpf is correct here: WP:TVSHOW "supplements" WP:GNG, it doesn't "overwrite" it. (And, in fact, WP:TVSHOW needs a new polish from WP:TV on this point, but that's neither here nor there...) In any case, "airing nationally" does not free you from the requirements of WP:GNG, and in fact many shows that air on "national" cable networks are ultimately not notable as per GNG... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:15, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I know the policies left and right, and there is no compelling reason I see for this article to stay. It's a generic Biography show mixed with a generic NASCAR-produced show that I can easily predict never had any segment where drivers denigrated each other or their bosses regularly and was produced solely to fill time on a channel and promote the circuit's drivers. We have a lot of cable TV shows, but most of them, like this one, usually go on and off the air without much notice from the public. This is why only Speed's notable programming can earn articles here, and why programming seen by the public and channels as basic filler won't get an article here. It's also why we never usually create program articles for shows on QVC and HSN; they're self-admitted WP:ADVERTs. Although having every show ever on Wikipedia is a laudable goal, it is in the end, impossible because some shows may have had only small viewership not applicable to a broad audience.

 * Delete - No luck finding sources. The only non-DAB incoming link is from List of programs broadcast by Speed, which would not be harmed by deleting this content. It's a bullet entry with no context there, so a redirect isn't worthwhile. Argento Surfer (talk) 19:03, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - finding a few sources, but many false hits so having as keep for now. Probably should be listed under Sports too. Wouldn't have expected much NASCAR in Variety. StrayBolt (talk) 04:47, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
