Hometown High-Q
DELETE Completely Non-Noteable high school local quiz show. Broadcast on a nn local network. Obscure topic of little interest to anyone. Unencyclopedic. pm_shef 20:06, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Forgot to mention, WP:PROD was contested.


 * keep seems notable enough, and definitely encyclopedic. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 21:09, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. neither notable nor encyclopedic Bucketsofg 21:11, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. High school quiz show broadcast on CBS affiliate. Serious article, nice presentation. Obvious keep and let's hope the winners contribute here. -- JJay 21:14, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable show broadcast on a notable local network (KDKA-TV).&#160;—  The KMan  talk  21:54, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Somewhat notable. -- Arnzy (Talk) 23:00, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Encyclopedic and complete article. And why eliminate this when we have articles on It's Academic, etc?
 * Keep. Clear and concisely written.  Airs on a major TV channel in a large city.  Tombride 01:10, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep notable. Nigelthefish 18:58, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to KDKA-TV. Why have an article on every show by every local TV station?  Should we have aricles on "channel 5 news at 11?"  Re. It's Academic: a show that has continuously run for 45 years might be a bit more notable. --Karnesky 16:27, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I see your point here, but this show is unique to this station.  11 o'clock news is not.  The comparison isn't really appropiate.  Anyways, since you mentioned it, there is a wiki for 11 o'clock news.Tombride 17:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * My point is that there's no aricle on things like KDKA-TV's 11 o'clock news (which WOULD be a unique to the same station). Many individual programs on individual local stations aren't independently notable.  An article on the "genre" or phenomena of shows of a given type might be valuable or the page on the station might include some examples of content.  In this context, I think the 11 o'clock news article is good in that it is general.  Perhaps an article on local quiz shows?  --Karnesky 18:24, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
