Mammoth TV special

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I thought this was a hoax article but apparently, it is a television show that has an outlandish premise and very little coverage. It was PROD'd, which I'd expect these days, but was de-PROD and so I'm bringing this to AFD to see if every single program that airs on a television network is now considered notable enough to warrant an article on Wikipedia.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The review notes: "As pilots go, Mammoth comes with a heavy dose of backstory, but it is nonetheless exciting to see where Bubbins will take the character over the full course of the series. From cultural to social changes, Mammoth draws on both the similarities and differences between the 70s and the modern-day, mostly making its home in a nostalgic light-hearted humour rather than overwrought generational tensions. Packed with 70s reference points and a killer soundtrack, Mammoth is a perfect watch for lovers of warm and fuzzy feelings with a few laughs along the way. "  The review notes: "Mammoth is a kind, sympathetic figure, doing his best despite being out of his time. You suspect even his wary headteacher, the supposed point of conflict in the story, knows this. And for a show with such outlandish premise, the tone is otherwise firmly down to earth. So if you prefer a little grit in your sitcoms or big exaggerated gags, look elsewhere, but for coridal smiles from an engaging character, Mammoth might be your man." There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Mammoth to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
