 * Here are the reasons why it does pass WP:GNG.
 * Significant Coverage: "Conversations with Bill Kristol" has been referenced and cited by multiple independent and reliable sources: - The Hertog Foundation, an institution dedicated to political education and leadership, has provided coverage of the program.  - The Jack Miller Center, an academic organization that supports the teaching of America's founding principles and history, has also referenced the series.  - The American Enterprise Institute, a well known public policy think tank, has covered topics discussed in the program.  Such coverage from multiple independent and authoritative institutions demonstrates that the series is not only recognized but also considered influential in its discourse.
 * Contribution to the Field: The show provides in-depth interviews with leading figures across a spectrum of disciplines - politics, political philosophy, history, foreign policy, economics, and culture. The depth and breadth of topics discussed make it a valuable resource for those looking for substantive and thoughtful discourse on pivotal national issues.
 * Notable Host & Production: Bill Kristol, the host, is a recognized figure in American politics. As a founder of The Weekly Standard and a significant voice in political analysis for decades, his association lends credibility and notability to the series.
 * Notable Guests: The program has hosted a range of prominent guests like Garry Kasparov, Anne Applebaum, Harvey Mansfield, and Larry Summers. Their participation indicates the program's standing and respect within intellectual and political circles.
 * Duration and Frequency: The program has been running since 2014, indicating sustained interest and relevance. A biweekly release schedule further highlights its active status and ongoing contribution to public discourse.
 * With these points, the "Conversations with Bill Kristol" article not only meets but exceeds Wikipedia's notability standards by showcasing significant coverage in reliable sources, contribution to the field, and association with notable personalities and institutions.

 * delete despite the bludgeoning by the creator with irrelevant non-policy and accepted norms, this isn't notable on its own and can easily be covered in the article about Kristol with a redirect. It lacks significant in depth coverage and the normal show coverage required. PICKLEDICAE🥒 20:11, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi PICKLEDICAE🥒,
 * Thank you for reviewing the "Conversations with Bill Kristol" article and sharing your perspective. I've made an effort to highlight its notability through evidence and sources from respected institutions, underscoring the show's significance in public discourse.
 * I also wish to mention that, as time permits, I would like to expand the article to delve into individual episodes. Such expansions will provide greater context and depth, emphasizing the show's unique contribution to various discussions and debates. This would further establish its distinction from merely being an offshoot of Bill Kristol's contributions.
 * If you have concerns about the article's current state or its adherence to Wikipedia's guidelines, could you please reference specific policies or provide examples?
 * Best regards, Dillion3384 (talk) 13:47, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Bill Kristol per Deletion policy. I did not find significant coverage about the subject in my searches for sources. The subject does not meet Notability to support a standalone article. I support a selective merge of any content that can be reliably sourced to Bill Kristol. I support preserving the history under the redirect so that the redirect can be undone if significant coverage in reliable sources is found in the future. Cunard (talk) 06:27, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Merge to Bill Kristol. It seems fair to highlight on the merged page that there were some important guests and that the series had a bit of wider influence. But going into a whole lot of depth about individual episodes in a separate page just isn't supported by the RS and therefore does not (at this time) meet the notability criteria for inclusion here.

 * Merge to Bill_Kristol. No significant coverage or analysis of the program, doesn't warrant a standalone page. Mooonswimmer 13:18, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to Bill Kristol, no sourcing to demonstrate notability in and of itself. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 02:39, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge with Bill Kristol: per virtually everyone else; that's the standard alternative to deletion when the host is notable but the show doesn't have its own independent notability.  WC  Quidditch  ☎   ✎  04:43, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
