Manemarak

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I can't find any English language reviews or significant coverage suggesting this passes GNG or NTV, nor anything in machine-translated Afrikaans, but I can't speak it, so there could be sources I can't find, so I'm opting for an AFD over PROD.  SITH   (talk)   14:33, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

This was a major (by South African standards) TV show during my childhood. As I understand the AFD tag is mainly about lack of sourcing? It does seem that the article name is misspelled, it should be Mannemerak (see intro credits on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeXWdtnEYS8). It does also exist on IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9541114/. The misspelling seems quite common on the internet though: https://findwords.info/term/manemarak. I hardly remember making this page (sorry about the typo), but irrespective of the fact that I created the stub, it would be sad for Mannemerak to be considered non-notable. Re the misspelling, what is the best approach? Rename the article and create a redirect from the misspelled version? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NeilenMarais (talk • contribs) 15:10, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relist to allow more time for investigation of possible misspelling and non-English sources.

As someone who grew up in South Africa in the 80s, I can confirm that this was a popular TV series. The correct spelling is "Mannemarak", as can be seen in the screenshot on IMDB. --StefanVanDerWalt (talk) 19:21, 12 December 2019 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
