My Own

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

Very likely fails WP:NTV and WP:GNG, as it's been unsourced since 2009. Title is hard to search for, but adding keywords did not improve the results. Prod contested. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 01:52, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The review notes: "My Own takes celebrity worship to a new low. Not only does it emphasize the importance of appearance, but it goes a step farther and rewards those who happen to resemble someone famous. This is a damaging message to tweens and teens, who are forming their identity and ideas about how dating works -- they're already under enough pressure to look good, but now they need to look like a celebrity too? What ever happened to individuality? The show also offers the confusing idea that the best way to show you're a fan is to date someone who reminds you of your idol...huh?"  The article notes: "On MTV's new dating show "My Own," enthusiastic wannabes are transformed into carbon copies of the pop stars they idolize, in hopes of capturing a fellow fan's heart. Though training these budding Justins and Ciaras may sound like a tall task, the mission was far from impossible for the show's choreographer, Chantai Robson. Off-screen, Robson has made a career out of coaching up-and-coming artists such as Hope Seven on personality and performance. To prepare choreography for "My Own," Robson watched hours of music videos to adapt the moves for contestants. [The show airs 6 pm EST Monday through Friday.) On a shooting schedule of several shows per week, Robson found herself memorizing the dance steps of everyone from Ashlee Simpson to Jennifer Lopez at a breakneck pace. Added to the pressure was the challenge of getting the contestants camera-ready to perform." There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow My Own to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * These two sources are WP:ROUTINE coverage. Fails WP:NOT. Delete.Lurking shadow (talk) 13:36, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
 * ROUTINE refers to events and thus isn't applicable here. NemesisAT (talk) 13:41, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Can't agree. A TV show is a string of events. One review and one short interview are simply nothing but indication of routine coverage. You can expect this from every single TV show that has existed, ever. Lurking shadow (talk) 13:58, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
 * WP:ROUTINE redirects to Notability (events), which does not apply to television series, which are not events. My Own received substantial coverage in a review and significant coverage in an article about the show's choreographer's work on the show. This is sufficient to meet Notability.
