MTV's Oddities

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable show. Google search for sources turns up 1) sites selling DVDs of the show 2) forums 3)MTV channels 4)a passing mention when referring to another show.

Just because it was on MTV doesn't make it notable, and I can't find sources that would indicate otherwise. Ged UK  20:42, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect to MTV. Nothing here that establishes notability. Sailodge (talk) 04:00, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete' or redirect to MTV. There doesn't seem to be anything notable about the show except for the two animated series it showed, which both already have their own articles. J I P  &#124; Talk 04:29, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. This wasn't a "show", rather it was a "slot" (similar to Nick at Nite, Nicktoons, or Adult Swim - for some reason Viacom does this a lot), so it's unsurprising there are no DVDs of it (there aren't any DVDs of "Prime Time", either). All of the shows featured in this slot have had DVD releases (The Maxx, The Head). The article is in absolutely wretched, piss-poor shape (owing in no small part to someone copy-pasting text from other articles in violation of the GFDL - after I removed this text, the article became the stubbiest of stubs), but it seems to meet WP:TVSERIES ("Generally, an individual radio or television program is likely to be notable if it airs on . . . a cable television network with a national audience"). A merge isn't a particularly good solution here, as this particular slot was rather short-lived and obscure in the grand scheme of things and would be somewhat WP:UNDUE on the main MTV article (it'd be like having a "Chevy Chase Show" section on FOX). I could understand a "delete with no prejudice towards recreation", but - based on my reading of WP:TVSERIES - this does seem to pass WP:N. Badger Drink (talk) 11:52, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Most sources will focus on the specific shows within the time slot, not the slot itself. However, I still think this article would be useful to keep around, if only for navigational purposes. It's nice to have a little "hub" that links the two shows together. Think of it as a "complex redirect". Zagal e jo^^^ 02:12, 28 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to an appropriate section in MTV. As it stands, the article doesn't assert notability, and is a pretty stubby stub. I couldn't really find any significant coverage anywhere doing a decent search, all the mentions were about The Head or The Maxx. If a suitable redirect target is not available, I wouldn't be opposed to deletion.  Steven Zhang  The clock is ticking....  00:17, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of programs broadcast by MTV. Definitely not notable enough for a separate article, WP is not a TV guide. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 14:29, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
