MyDOL

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article should be deleted because it's a non-notable TV show. This article failed WP:NTV, which doesn't deserve to be included on Wikipedia. Based on what I searched, it's very hard to find the program, which is one of the main factors this article should be deleted. With that being said, I don't want this article on Wikipedia.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting to encourage evaluation of Korean sources to determine notability
 * Comment, leaning to keep - "I don't want this article on wikipedia" is not an appropriate deletion argument. It's a literal statement of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. On my end, I can't read Korean, so I can't check for additional native language sources than we already see in the article. I hope we have some AfD participants who can more helpfully search. I don't think at face value it fails NTV (it's on a nationally broadcast TV network), and being difficult to google is not a valid reason for deletion. matt91486 (talk) 15:49, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - this AfD has not seen much activity, nobody else has found sources, and my own WP:BEFORE searches have come up empty, so we are left with what's in the article now. Surely, phoenix-vixx-fire.tumblr.com and youtube.com are not reliable sources that show notability. The other site, "enewsworld", has no author information and no editorial information, so is likely either user-generated or a blog. This leaves us with allkpop.com, which is a user-generated site (their main page has a "create post" button above a Reddit-esque layout with downvotes and upvotes displayed beside posts). There seems to be no indication on the site of an editorial team, or even an editorial process. The people who posted the posts referenced by the article are webe, starsung and Germaine Jay, who does seem to be a staff writer, but that leaves us with only one allkpop reference, a passing mention in a four-sentence long post primarily about something that isn't MyDOL. Soompi does mention that it's a news site, but the source from Soompi doesn't mention "MyDOL" once. jp×g 00:26, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment: in the event that consensus is not to keep the article, it seems at least to be a valid search term... would a redirect to VIXX make sense, given that the program was entirely about their formation? Richard3120 (talk) 19:43, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to VIXX. My search for sources (even in Korean) did not yield significant coverage of this survival competition show. There were stories about actress Kim Yoo-jung being in a promotional video for the forthcoming program and singer Sung Si-kyung (who was signed to Jellyfish Entertainment at the time, the agency behind the show, and therefore not independent of the subject) mentioning it . There is the trivial tidbit of the show being available on Pandora TV . There are sources that explain what the show is and how contestants would be selected, the elimination of four contenders , and the confirmation of the remaining six . The individual episodes didn't get coverage, nor did there seem to be interest in general at the time. After the last episode was aired, there are drive-by mentions of "VIXX was formed through MyDol" or "X, who was on MyDol, is going to debut". Not enough content to sustain its own article.  ✗  plicit  07:20, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
