Fox on Demand

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Per WP:RS and WP:ORG. No third-party evidence of independent notability. Notability cannot be inherited. Note that Fox VOD, the twin of this article was recently deleted due to a CSD. Logical Cowboy (talk) 01:34, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. A very quick GNews turns up sufficient coverage such as:
 * "Free Fox on demand", Forbes, August 22, 2006.
 * "Introducing Fox on Demand", Broadcasting & Cable, October 3, 2006.
 * "Fox to offer shows on MySpace and TV sites", New Zealand Herald, October 4, 2006.
 * "Fox affiliate Web sites ready for primetime", Hollywood Reporter/Reuters, March 1, 2007.
 * "Fox Expands On Demand Deals: Agreements with Verizon and Mediacom will give their subscribers next day VOD and online access to Fox's primetime programming", Broadcasting & Cable, October 25, 2011.

 * Response These references show that this Fox service exists, but not that it has independent notability.  What little information this article holds could easily be merged into the FOX article.  Logical Cowboy (talk) 05:00, 21 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. There are many sources that can be used as shown above, and an aritcle is good for the subject and other services simlar to this like BBC iPlayer and Global Video have pages.--TBrandley (talk) 03:53, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 Delete What is exactly unique about this network on demand service? Does it do anything unique at all? Not really. ABC, CW, NBC and CBS do not have articles about this concept, which is show video+ads, which is how every video on demand service works, cable or Internet, and is not meant to be an industry standard at all like Hulu or iPlayer. The restrictions Fox puts on their VOD platforms may be slightly notable but as it is, we don't need to elaborate on this outside of the main Fox Broadcasting Company article where a simple "Fox also offers their programming through video on demand on both paid television and internet platforms" will suffice. Sources above merely mention it exists, and the four top sources talk about a since discontinued form of the service where the affiliates did most of the promotional legwork and hosting for the network.
