The result was keep. Most of the keep arguments were non-policy (i.e. being on primetime isn't enough to establish notability by our rules), but the two refs cited by seem sufficient. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:09, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Blood of the Irish
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Sourced mainly to the network. Shown only once, with no long-term significance indicated. Of the sources which might be independent, one doesn't work and one is not even about the show but about a "previously claimed notion" that was mentioned in it. Previously closed as NPASR after 1 month due to lack of participation. Greykit (talk) 21:11, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep-The show does look notable enough. (now trying to find Blood of the Irish does seem tough since I'm getting mostly family tree sites) Wgolf (talk) 19:43, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Notability on Wikipedia. "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity... if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article." I didn't find much and now, six weeks through this and the previous AfD, you say you can't find much either. --Greykit (talk) 20:07, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
