Coventry broadcasting television

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article has been around since 2007, so I thought I'd bring it here rather than prodding it. A Google search (including News) for CBT +Coventry +television turns up nothing relevant, except WP and mirrors, in the first 15 pages of results. (I did, however, learn than Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Computer-Based Training, and Cock-and-Balls Torture are all available in Coventry.) A search for CovTunes turns up 17 discrete results, with nothing relevant. There seem to be absolutely no sources available to establish notability, much less write a substantive article.

 * Speedy delete I believe this is a hoax, and thus tagged WP:CSD. I find nothing whatsoever about this supposed broadband TV channel owned by the freemantle group; a search of the freemantle website yields nothing for coventry Ohconfucius (talk) 07:08, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom and others (and don't spare the horses). No sources offered or found nor any other mentions at all, whether reliable or otherwise, found. When you think about it, it seems more than a tad strange for an online television station not to have some sort of web presence; one would think a website just might be considered a necessity for that line of work. The names of staff who have gone onto other projects, or have joined the company, have no ghits for the asserted previous or later occupations; one of the CEOs was alleged to have been a former CEO of a rather large media company, although I don't think I am going out on a limb to think that they have never heard of him. Gotta agree with the nomination of the article as a hoax: the article reads as a "made-up-one-day" article that has been expanded in a similar style over the next 18 months; even the ungainly name is unbelievable.
