List of ABC slogans

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Trivial fan-cruft. Not a single section is referenced, none of it is notable, none of it is verifiable, all of it original research.  Neutralhomer •  Talk  • 23:51, 11 July 2010 (UTC) 23:51, 11 July 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, JForget  00:24, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I want this article retained. JMRAMOS0109 5:05 PM (PST)
 * Keep - Like the NBC slogans, I'm pretty sure that Variety as well as Broadcasting, of which not all articles are freely available on the web, cover this network's advertising campaigns and slogans. And there are sources in books as well, Here's a source for "Still the One", for example. I am confident that many sources are out there, but I am not confident they will all be found by someone just sitting behind a computer screen, at least not without access to Lexis/Nexis and/or various magazine archives. I'd look for more sources but unfortunately I don't have time right now. Also there were two web references, whether you believe they are reliable or not it is dubious to claim that "not a single section is referenced". DHowell (talk) 06:06, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * If you can find these sources, then source them....all of them. Otherwise, they aren't verfiable or reference and are a page of fan cruft made by a sockpuppet. -  Neutralhomer •  Talk  • 06:08, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete It's about time a nomination was made for this. In the years this article has been up, not one source has been presented into the article itself and it is just an unsourced list that has expanded to both unsourced local slogans (which often were just pushed out by a station in twenty seconds by a cheap production music company to maintain a veneer of "network solidarity" and only aired in times where dead air, a PSA or a low-cost local ad would usually go and except for the lower-tier stations, never used outside of that) and a magnet for list vandals like User:Dingbat2007 who make lists like this regular targets of their "fun". I completely agree with this nomination; network affiliate lists and histories are notable because they're easily confirmed and sourceable; network slogans are much more tenuous and only of interest to mostly television historians, and like whatever branding Nickelodeon introduces for their afternoon block every six weeks, quickly forgotten beyond embarrassments like "Our pride is showing" and "We love TV" (Note: this rationale is being used for all of these nominations as if it was a block nomination).

 * Strong delete agree with nom, Ambrust, and Nate - purely unsourced trivia that is not notable, mostly unverifable, and purely WP:OR and random tidbits. --  AnmaFinotera (talk  ~ contribs ) 05:03, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
