Northern Exposure (video blog)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Northern Exposure is one of two video blogs associated with regional news programme STV News at Six, the other being The Real MacKay. The latter was recently nominated for deletion and the result was to merge into the parent article. This one should be merged too. In addition to the current inconsistency the identical rationale applies: "Video blog website which shows no evidence of notability required by WP:WEB".

There is an associated episode guide which I will separately nominate for deletion. I42 (talk) 08:07, 16 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Oppose and Keep The Real MacKay entry only had 2 people raise their points of view, it should never have been deleted. Scotlands biggest commerical station video blogs are notable. I can add in sources and reference if need be.--Roadblocker (talk) 23:51, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The Real MacKay has not been deleted, it has been merged into the parent article of which it is part; if disagree with the result that AfD you can of course raise it at WP:DRV. Although comparisons with specific articles are not always helpful, there does not appear to be any established principle to have separate articles for companies and their websites and I would be interested in your rationale in the case of Northern Exposure - there are no third party references which establish notability, nor could I find any.

 * Speedy Keep - AFD is the wrong venue for proposing a merge. -- Whpq (talk) 21:03, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed, no AfD is needed and a merge can be done without admin intervention. It could certainlly be argued that consensus is already reached for merge because that was the result at the AfD for The Real MacKay and the two articles are obviously intertwined. On that basis I could just go ahead and do it. However, I felt it worthwhile raising for discussion in case anyone raised any specific issues for this particular article, before taking such action. If the AfD is inappropriate it could be implied that the merge could just go ahead, but as you clearly stated "keep" that's apparrently not your intention in this case. On what basis do you think the article should be kept? I42 (talk) 22:09, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Specifically because this is the wrong forum for a deletion discussion. You as the nominator aren't advocating deletion so there is no reason to bring this here. --  Whpq (talk) 22:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
