WP:ADMASQ. Is this UPE? References are pure churnalism. All references are PR pieces, and TV listings, At least one is a 404 error. Fails WP:NCORP, WP:GNG. Creating editor is globally locked.

 * no comment on the TV channel itself, yet. But the TV serials from this channel were once plagued by UPE, socks, and promotional edits - still happens time to time. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:48, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep one of the most popular tv stations in India that has coverage in reliable sources in the article. There is no way that a similarly popular US tv station would be put up for deletion. 404s need to be fixed and are certainly not a deletion reason. Many editors have edited the article apart from the article creator including myself. This here is quite an analytical interview after the first question if you read through it all and would count as critical analysis even though it is an interview. Also many of its programmes have rs coverage as shown at List of programmes broadcast by Colors TV, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:51, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:BROADCAST. An undoubtedly mainstream, popular, tv station that carries notable Indian series, such that we even have List of programmes broadcast by Colors TV. Available in the US and UK. Extremely strong presumption of notability. There's volumes upon volumes of sources mentioning this subject -- websites and even books, and it's very tiring to wade through them just to find a few that individually have in-depth coverage when it's obvious that the subject is extremely noteworthy (random example). The media does not often report on itself in a neutral in-depth manner. TV stations don't have to pass WP:NCORP. —Alalch E. 19:24, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
