BOL News

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non Notable news channel that did not even start. It only did one test transmission then it's license was revoked due to fraud. Fails WP:GNG in every possible sense. TouristerMan (talk) 06:46, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment It could be redirected to BOL Network. I guess we'd need to evaluate sources first; the channel doesn't have to 'start' in order to have an article, significant coverage on the controversy could make it notable too. However, I'd still lean with redirecting.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 09:27, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
 * If not independently notable, redirect to BOL Network as a valid search term. North America1000 19:46, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak keep and redirect: The appropriate info from BOL News be put into BOL Network and the current pagename be made a redirect to that section.Your welcome &#124; Democratics Talk→  Be a guest 09:54, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to BOL Network ; not independently notable per available sources. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:46, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep —The nominator rationale that the subject fails general notability criteria is unsubstantiated. Its license was revoked but has been reinstated by the court and the subject is debated in independent reliable sources.  sami  talk 22:06, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to BOL News per WP:INHERITORG. Not every news channel is notable. We consider the transmission history, presentation of original content as well as the references in third party sources. The sources need to be specifically about the channel itself and cannot inherit notability from the parent organisation. The controversy here is about the parent organisation and it cannot help to establish notability. I suggest a redirect here as it is clearly not independently notable. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 10:39, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
