Fails WP:NTV. Only two articles here and here, two more sites that contain trivial mentions of the show here and here, and an article written about it on a WordPress blog here. Last nomination received no votes. Linguist 111 Moi?  Moi.  21:47, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. There's a little bit of coverage, such as  from the Times of Malta (mentioned above) and  from The Malta Independent.  However, I don't think this is really enough to establish notability.  The rest of the hits I saw in a Google search were trivial mentions.  List of newspapers in Malta may help in finding reliable sources.  I only searched the English-language sources, so I suppose it's possible that Maltese-language sources may exist.  It might be worthwhile to consider moving it to draft space to see if someone can locate them. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:35, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Much like NinjaRobotPirate above I found a few mentions of the TV show that don't go far enough to establish notability per the guidelines of WP:NTV. I note NTV specifies that national tv shows are likely to be notable, but, the prevalence of sources is the dominant factor is deciding whether a show is indeed notable. [A] national television program may not be notable if it was cancelled too quickly to have garnered any significant media coverage, it did indeed have enough time to get "significant" coverage, and failed to do so, Malta Independent and the Times of Malta are the only two reliable sources I came across myself. There's a bunch of unreliable ones like twitter and facebook and blogspots, but, that's about it. Add; I think it's quite telling that the first AfD didn't gather a single vote to keep or delete after three weeks and indicates to me that this is a non-controversial deletion request.
