NewsWatch (American TV program)

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

This is an infomercial masquerading as a news broadcast. WP:BEFORE shows no coverage that meets WP:GNG. Despite existing for over 10 years as an article, it has largely been one editors work and never properly referenced. Please see history for Press releases and other poor references removed before this nomination. Slywriter (talk) 00:34, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Good catch on this one; they're an infomercial/VNR mill with no N to be found.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 01:14, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Created and kept alive by a few single-purpose accounts. Best I could find on them was inclusion in the Inc. 5000 in 2019, the business equivalent of "most improved player" award, hardly sufficient for an article. Storchy (talk) 06:24, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete I never saw it as an informercial. I was planning to Afd but thought with 1300+ "epiosodes", it was likely notable, some kind of soap series, but obviously not. Excellent work  in identifying it correctly.    scope_creep Talk  14:30, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The more I came back to clean up, the more I dug on the web, the less it seemed to meet Wikipedia policy. Credit goes to the original editor who raised concern on COIN for putting the article on the radar. The discovery of it being paid programming was the personal deciding factor in bringing to AfD vs boldly stubifyingSlywriter (talk) 15:13, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
