Minimally sourced article about a dropped television pilot that never actually went to air. As always, this is not grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself, as WP:TVSHOW only extends a presumption of notability to shows that have actually been broadcast by a network -- to be notable despite having never actually aired, a TV show would have to be able to claim something that would make it much, much more special than most of the dozens upon hundreds of failed pilots that get filmed every year. But with just two deadlinked footnotes here, offering technical verification that this was in development and then passed on, this isn't demonstrating that at all. Note that the first discussion is not definitive; our inclusion and sourcing rules were very different in 2013, and it still seemed possible at the time that it might just get picked up by a different broadcaster -- but that never happened, and 2013 is nearly a decade ago now but there's still no evidence that this would pass the ten year test.

 * Redirect to List of television series canceled before airing an episode I only asked for keep the last time under the assumption it would find another place to air since it was so early in the 2013–14 TV season when it got canned. It never did. Redirect is mainly to keep it in the categories it's currently in, and it has an entry on that list.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 23:22, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
