Distant Shores (Canadian TV series)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a television show, not reliably sourced as notable per WP:TVSHOW. This is referenced entirely to its own primary source content about itself, not to any evidence of media coverage -- even the one citation that is to a media outlet is still to an article that had this show's hosts as its bylined authors, not coverage that has the show as its subject. As always, however, the notability test for TV shows is not simply that its own self-published web presence metaverifies its existence -- the notability test requires independent coverage about it, such as in media outlets or books, but I can't find any of that anywhere else either.

 * Delete Yes, it may have aired and met WP:BROADCAST as something aired on a national cable channel (though I snort at that idea for Wealth TV, which is a low-viewed network), but this reads as a vanity series an ultra-rich couple paid to write, produce and shoot, in order to promote themselves being ultra-rich and buying multiple boats around the world to show that they're ultra-rich. This isn't the usual type of 'travelogue' series where a show neutrally shows you the sights, sounds and food of the world; this is a couple literally buying time on TV networks to show a disinterested world their home movies, and is the very definition of our favorite word, a vanispamcruftisement, where the shows 'producers' were literally the only ones interested in their program and wrote articles about it. Good nomination, Bearcat.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 04:02, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
