Louis Theroux: Gambling in Las Vegas

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Unsourced, tiny article about a noted documentary artists' much less known documentary. Little to no encyclopedic value, as Wikipedia is not the TV guide. Would not be opposed to a merge with Louis Theroux, although there is little to actually merge. Would not be opposed to a redirect to Louis Theroux if merge is rejected. Sven Manguard Talk  16:38, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: Subject is also covered adequately at Louis Theroux's BBC 2 Specials. Content is mostly the same. Would not object to merge or redirect to that page either. Sven Manguard  Talk  16:46, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep an abundance of GOOD sources   Dwanyewest (talk) 20:54, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Note None of these sources are in the article, and no mention of them was made until now anwhere else. Also, just because something appeared on TV does not automatically make it notable. That needs to be demonstrated, and in the current article, it isn't. Sven Manguard  Talk  02:55, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Why would they mention them before now? And the point of an AFD is to prove the subject is notable.  If you want something added to the article, do it yourself.  AFD is not cleanup. It is the last thing you do, not the first, and never to be done just to improve an article.  The subject is notable, they not going into detail like that for every show, and it not just some brief generic paragraph mention.   D r e a m Focus  05:35, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge per nom. Rather than seeing this as a series of separate made-for-TV movies, it appears as if it should be considered more as an episodic series.  Given a lack of coverage for each one meeting EPISODE, covering them all together in Louis Theroux's BBC 2 Specials seems appropriate. Jclemens (talk) 20:05, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Because it gets ample reviews. Read the one in the Times .   D r e a m Focus  20:22, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
