I disagree with the PROD, but I agree there are no reliable sources. Does this article need to be deleted? My opinion is weak keep. JHU bal 27 • Talk •E-mail 10:21, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * On what basis? Your statement questioning whether it "needs" to be deleted misses the point. See, e.g., WP:NOHARM.  The relevant question is whether it meets our notability guidelines.  You haven't indicated any support for a notion that it does. --Epeefleche (talk) 00:20, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't care about notability. Just delete it then if you're so worried about it. The article is notable like Roodog2k said. I agree totally with him. JHU bal 27 • Talk •E-mail 04:28, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * You may not care about notability. But that is the basis for any !vote that counts.  We don't weigh !votes that are not notability-based.   See WP:ILIKEIT. And Roo's comment has the problems that have already been indicated. Where do you see the requisite presence of coverage in RSs? I understand that you are in the eighth grade, and wish you will in your career here.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:28, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I looked for an examiner article and it is listed as a spam website here. Put examiner.com in front of /article/top-ten-most-extreme-airports That's the only piece of notable evience I can find. By the way, thanks for looking at my user page. JHU bal 27 • Talk •E-mail 01:47, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

*Keep per WP:TVSERIES, it's notable. The History Channel is not a local cable station and has a national audience. The title of the article should change to reflect that it's a tv series and not a list. The article is also a stub, but being a stub is not by itself a rationale for deletion.

 * First, this is a documentary. As reflected both in the article and in the ref.  A documentary is different than a tv series.
 * Second, even when it comes to a tv series, the deciding factor is not whether it has a national audience. But whether it has the requisite RS coverage.  This is made clear in wp:tvseries, which says: "Generally [it] is likely to be notable if it airs on a network of ... television stations ... or on a cable television network with a national audience.... In either case, however, the presence or absence of reliable sources is more definitive than the geographic range of the program's audience alone".

 * Delete I thought the series aired in several episodes, but I was mistaken.  I misread a source.  The deciding factor for me was that it was a series, not a one-off program. Roodog2k (talk) 16:02, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Many thanks for taking a second look. Some editors are too bound to their original !votes to do so.  Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 17:24, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I've been around a long time. I don't get worked-up when someone makes a good point. Roodog2k (talk) 19:30, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh don't act like you're better than me and patronize me. Yes, you are definitely experienced. I get that. I'm not, but I'm also not a newbie. Yes, I do have an obvious conflict of interest and the only place I can go is nowhere. I'm destined to lose this argument. I should have just removed the PROD template in the first place.

 * ¿cómo? I wasn't paying any attention to what else you were saying on this AfD. It wasn't meant to be a slight on you.  Sorry for the confusion, but I had no ill-intent.  After looking at the whole discussion, I see that it does look like I was throwing barbs at you.  I apologize for the confusion. Roodog2k (talk) 16:18, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
