Bikini Destinations
AfDs for this article:


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

Article about a television show, not properly sourced as passing WP:TVSHOW. As always, television shows do not get an automatic notability freebie just because it's technically possible to verify that they existed -- the notability test is not "it exists", but "it received media coverage to establish that it was seen as significant". But the only footnote here is a directory entry, not analytical coverage about the show, and the article has been flagged for that problem for a full decade without ever having a single new source added. Note that the result of the first discussion in 2012 is not definitive: our notability and sourcing standards have evolved considerably in the past decade, nobody ever even attempted to add even one of the claimed sources that got the article kept the first time, and following the proffered Google search link now, I mainly just see glancing namechecks of the show's existence in coverage of bikini models, with very little evidence of coverage that's actually about the show in any non-trivial sense.

 * Delete The length of the show's run is less important than the utter lack of sourcing. "Bikini Destinations" + "HDNet" and "Bikini Destinations" + "Casey Bennett" both turned up absolutely nothing on GNews, GBooks, or Newspapers.com. This is a similar scenario to Articles for deletion/CMT Hot Twenty, where a show that has been ongoing since 2013 had its article deleted due to a complete lack of sourcing. Given the precedent of that AFD alone, I think it's enough to call time on this one. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:06, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
