Bethat Educational TV channel

PROD from User:Fram stated Lacks all notability

PROD was then removed by article creator without addressing the notability issue.

A WP:BEFORE search did not show any significant coverage for this supposedly international TV channel. I'm happy to be proved wrong but this doesn't look to pass WP:GNG. It could perhaps be merged somewhere if reliable sources are found. Spiderone 13:56, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Perhaps non-Latin searches can find more about this, but searches with the Latin alphabet resulted in extremely few hits for this "TV" channel (vimeo only channel? Just 16 posts in more than 2 year? 5 Followers?) https://www.google.be/search?q=%22Bethat+Educational%22&ei=jXD0X7T2CajpsAf856KoDg&start=10&sa=N&ved=2ahUKEwj08JfT-YTuAhWoNOwKHfyzCOUQ8NMDegQIBBBD&biw=1536&bih=754].

 * Delete at best this is non-notable, but I have a suspicion that at least some of the content of this article is a hoax. It claims to broadcast on sky channel 548, but sky does not have a channel 548, per this tv listing, and their religious channels are assigned to the block 580-600. It's not a digit transposition either, 584 is "Inspiration TV" which is an unrelated Christian channel. Per fram the only latin alphabet mentions that google turns up are 2 facebook posts, their own website, their own app and vimeo. I would expect more coverage of a channel that claims to broadcast in English over satellite to the whole of the UK and Ireland. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 16:51, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment It appears that a lot of the content of this article is a modified version of the HadiTV article, which explains why many of the references seem unrelated. This only increases my suspicion that this TV station does not exist as a TV station and the content of the article constitute a hoax. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 13:28, 7 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment Seems non-notable. Perhaps a merger with Syed Jawad Naqvi would be better. USaamo (t@lk) 06:33, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think that the sourcing in the article is good enough to justify a merge, most of the claims in the article are currently either unsourced or extremely poorly sourced. The 10 sources in the article currently consist of 2 Facebook links, 5 links to what appears to be there own website, a link to the homepage of an Iranian news network with no relation to the TV Channel, a link to HadiTV (which seems to be unrelated), and a link to the HadiTV app (also unrelated). At the moment I'm not seeing any evidence that this "TV station" exists as anything more than some videos on Vimeo. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 13:28, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree. Unless this can be verified by reliable sources, deletion is the only option Spiderone  20:41, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
