 * Comment: Aren't all tv shows on national networks generally considered notable by defauklt? —Quasirandom (talk) 20:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I believe the above remark is accurate, but what we don't know is if this show was on a national network. Google wasn't much help, but that's not surprising since the show went off air so long ago. I think we may have a verification problem on our hands if we can't find some sources.

 * The extensive Japanese Wikipedia article looks like it can provide some guidance here. —Quasirandom (talk) 00:40, 26 April 2008 (UTC)


 * STRONG Keep Wow, this nomination boggles the mind. This was a notorious and popular TV show which ran on network television in Japan for nearly a decade (1983-1991). Yet English-language sourcing isn't readily available, so we delete it? Meanwhile every episode of Family Guy gets an article? Certainly the article needs a lot of work. Also, certainly, language and geography (in Japan, I'm sure there are many print sources on this) are going to make it a difficult one to source. But if the rules state a network-TV show which ran for nearly a decade in a foreign country/language is not "notable," while every individual episode of a (current, adult-oriented, U.S.) cartoon show are, then there's something very wrong going on here.

 * Comment Japanese Amazon lists two books on the series: 私たちはバカじゃない―オールナイトフジで~す translates to something like "We're not Idiots, This is All Night Fuji", and オールナイトフジ・メモリアル・フォト みんな大好き "All Night Fuji Memorial Photo" Dekkappai (talk) 18:10, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep now that we seem to have sources. And, Dekkappai, it's funny that this "boggles your mind" since the article was tagged as unreferenced as possibly non-notable when you edited it way back in October of last year. Not everyone can read Japanese, so not everyone has access to the sources you do. Beeblbrox (talk) 18:21, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Always nice to trade a little bitching, Beeblbrox. :-) I get by in Japanese, but I'm far from fluent. When I edited it in October I poked around a little, but couldn't find anything very useful, and left it. I'm still not sure the above books would count as sourcing, but I'll put them in if it'll help. Dekkappai (talk) 18:24, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep based on the above--yes, the Japanese Wikipedia article's existence should have served as at least a hint that an expert was needed to find references. One of a string of careless nominations. DGG (talk) 00:06, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, given sources confirming it is a national, and therefore notable, TV show. —Quasirandom (talk) 22:18, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Show is (in)famous. Remove original research ("As the show went on, it seemed to remove all the sexual stuff (perhaps due to censorship or changed in the laws that occurred at that time). This caused it to lose viewership and eventually it went off the air.") and irrelevant fluff ("The name All Night Fuji has been adopted by a musical group.) There's not much left, but it's a start.
