Doctor Who: A Celebration

Doctor Who is amazing, but not everything related to the franchise is notable and I am unable to find independent evidence of notability for this fundraiser. There's a lot of false positives in BBC coverage, but given the partnerships the're not independent in this case. Considered a merger to Doctor_Who_Confidential but it's not clear that would be helpful to the reader so bringing it here for discussion. Star  Mississippi  20:27, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

 * I agree. --Bduke (talk) 01:43, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * @ Bduke: "I agree" to what? Those that are more in-tune to the franchise may know better, but from an article space opinion: The first three sources I checked returned a 404 error. The last two are not actually sources leaving "Doctor Who - A Celebration Concert TV", that states: "This is a fan site". This leaves the article pretty much void of sources advancing WP:notability.
 * The "special event" (19 November 2006) was for the BBC Children in Need which would have been a worthy cause. According to one source, BBC Radio Wales reaches a "weekly audience of 371,000 listeners". It was apparently broadcast on BBC Three accessible by Red Button One. There is also the 1983 book, Doctor Who: A Celebration - Two Decades Through Time and Space. Except for YouTube (and remastered) that is about all I can find that isn't Wikipedia related. There would need to be some independent source to even consider merging per ATD. -- Otr500 (talk) 18:03, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree that the article should be deleted. It is not notable. --Bduke (talk) 02:48, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

 * - Note to closer for soft deletion: While this discussion appears to have no quorum, it is NOT eligible for soft deletion because it was previously discussed at AfD and the result was There is really no consensus to do anything here. The Delete arguements are just as convincing as the Keep arguements.  Additionally, I find the Merge suggestion convincing.  A suggested route would be to merge the article, then CSD for houskeeping once merged.  But the end result of this discussion is No consensus..

Relisting comment: I'd like to see feedback on whether Merge to this suggested target would be an alternative to deletion. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 02:41, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge into Children in Need or delete outright. I am also unable to find any non-BBC WP:RS coverage of this event; that makes me think that, while it could merit inclusion in the larger Children in Need article, it's not significant enough to merit its own article. Alternatively, one could create a Doctor Who Children in Need specials article per futurehawk's proposal in the last AFD discusison. Lkb335 (talk) 22:07, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete, the previous afd was a long time ago but the article and it's position is mostly unchanged. I am not seeing sufficient merit to merge any of the content and think on balance, deletion would be better. Bungle (talk • contribs) 16:46, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
