Australia's Most Wanted

Fails WP:NTV, WP:NCRIME and WP:GNG, despite being a notable program that aired on the Seven Network from 1989 to 1999, before being cancelled, then the program switched to the Nine Network for 6 weeks, then it was axed. Only refs are from IMDb, tv.com and ovguide.com. Yours sincerely, TechGeek105 (his talk page) 01:38, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep: I found two independent reviews from Australian newspapers. "This crime show's more wanted than ever" in Melbourne's The Age (April 24, 1997), and "Murder, cops, and stand-up corpses" in The Sydney Morning Herald (March 8, 1989). Furthermore, the article "Bryan's arresting success" in the Morning Herald (June 11, 1989) says "Australia's Most Wanted has been a hit right around Australia in the toughest spot on prime time TV." Another article in the Morning Herald (Aug 10, 1989) backs up the article's claim that children were frightened by the program: "Australia's Most Wanted is murder for some children". Hit TV show, definitely notable. Toughpigs (talk) 02:23, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
