Hooray for Reading

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A series of minute long shorts that seemingly aired in the late 70's. The article is unsourced, and orphaned, and has been since its creation 12 years ago. I did the usual searches for any reliable sources, and found absolutely nothing substantial. The most I found was the series name listed in a index of AV material from the Library of Congress that shows that it did, apparently, exist. However, there is absolutely nothing out there that I have found that shows any sort of notability. Rorshacma (talk) 16:42, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:NN AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 16:44, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I added some sources but they consist of two short review blurbs of the series and a short article that reports on the IRA awards in 1980 and has two or three sentences about Hooray for Reading. I don't think this PSA series is sufficiently notable to merit its own article. Redirection or merge would be preferable to deletion, but there's no good target. Discussing this one program in Field Communications or International Reading Association would be WP:UNDUE, and there's no article for program creator Alan Sloan. So I end up at delete for now, but remain open to reconsideration if someone unearths more significant coverage. Bakazaka (talk) 06:42, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete since subject does not pass WP:NMEDIA. Kudos to Bakazaka for the lifeboat and the objectivity. As it happens, I enjoy this kind of shows quite a lot but Wikipedia is not the place to look for everything. -The Gnome (talk) 17:52, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
