Inside Albany

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article about a local television show, not reliably sourced as passing WP:TVSHOW. As always, TV shows don't get an automatic notability freebie just because the article asserts that they have existed -- the notability test requires some evidence of third party coverage and analysis about the show, in sources independent of itself, to externally validate its significance. But existence is the only notability claim being made here, and in almost 15 years the article has never had any sources in it but the show's own self-published website about itself (which is not support for its notability.) As I don't have access to any archive in which I could retrieve 12-year-old media coverage from New York state, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with better access to such resources can find enough to salvage it -- but we don't keep unsourced articles just because it's possible that better sources might exist, we keep unsourced articles only when somebody can prove that better sources do exist.
