Behind the Movies

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article about a shortlived television show, not properly sourced as passing WP:TVSHOW. As usual, television shows are not "inherently" notable just because their own self-published production websites offer technical verification that they existed -- the notability test is the reception of third party media coverage about the show in sources independent of itself, to demonstrate that they have been externally validated as significant by virtue of having had attention paid to them by neutral and objective sources. Full disclosure, I was actually the original creator of this, fifteen years ago when simply verifying that the show existed was deemed enough to get a TV show into Wikipedia -- but the rules have (wisely) been tightened up considerably since then, and I just can't find any reliable sourcing that would get this up to contemporary requirements at all: the best source I can locate is a 50-word blurb in a "tonight on TV" column, which isn't enough. The only reason I'm not just killing it myself as a G7 is that I'm not the only person who's edited it since 2007. Bearcat (talk) 21:09, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. Very big of you to suggest your own article for deletion. But I could find no sources for the TV show aside from its own network. Fails WP:TVSHOW. CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 21:20, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
