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  • 23:54, 11 July 2010 (UTC) 23:54, 11 July 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, JForget  00:25, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I vote for retention. JMRAMOS0109, 4:54 PM (PST)
 * Keep - "Not a single section is referenced" is dubious, as there was already at least one reference to Variety magazine. Variety as well as Broadcasting, of which not all articles are freely available on the web, cover network advertising campaigns and slogans. I am confident that many sources are out there, but I am not confident they will 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. DHowell (talk) 06:01, 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  • 06:03, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. The same comment applies to the 9 other slogans listed for WP:AfD on the log Articles_for_deletion/Log/2010_July_11. This is WP:POPCULTURE. This type of content is what distinguishes Wikipedia from more traditional encyclopedias and there is general consensus (I believe) to encourage this type of content. The slogans are verifiable and factual - and of genuine interest (to some). The logo and slogan/ tagline can be verified at the Internet archive. Finding refs and citations for these slogans is something that can be fixed. WP:GNG states If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article. Notability for this type of material can be verified by non-trivial mentions in secondary sources.AWHS (talk) 12:16, 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).

 * Delete based on current content such as that found in List of NBC slogans. I might change my mind if the article changes between now and the close of the AfD period. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:44, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
