Prison Break
Wikipedia is not a predictor of future events nor it is a volume of Tv Guide. This show cannot be notable for it doesn't exist yet. Give it a few years to achieve some prominence then post it. Non encyclopedic, Fancruft.
 * Keep. The show exists, and is premiering this coming Monday.  Wikipedia has entries on many current TV shows, prominent and otherwise, as well as bands, movies, books, etc. which may not have achieved classic status yet.  No reason to pick on this one.Bjones
 * Keep. Prime-time major network shows are notable.  Thatdog 05:08, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, and it's getting harder to assume good faith. You really should be more subtle in your satire, nominator. Nandesuka 05:17, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, reluctantly; but if individual episodes start appearing one day with their own articles, I will vote to merge or delete them.   Paul Klenk 05:19, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Thatdog; I would have understood a VfD of the original version, created by a suspected sockpuppet of Maoririder, but the rewritten version is good. CanadianCaesar 05:43, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The basic outline of an extensively advertised TV show on a major network is not fancruft.-LtNOWIS 06:39, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is quite notable, and this nomination seems a bit trollish Ryan Norton T 15:36, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, per announcement, right?.. Renominate if the series is cancelled before it premieres tomorrow, eh? --Mysidia (talk) 16:12, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very notable. Amren (talk) 22:39, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, in fact, you can see the first 4 minutes of the show on Yahoo! TV. Is that enough proof that the show exists?   ral  315  17:33, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's starting tonight and its part of Fox's lineup and we shouldn't delete it. Heymypeeps
 * Keep. The show has appeared in major newspapers nationwide (and in other countries where it airs, ie Canada), the show is directed by a major Hollywood director (Rush Hour, X-Men 3), and shows exist long before they air. There is something called production and pre-production.  Know what your talking about before posting vfds or you look a little (?) silly. --Sketchee 01:57, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Debut tonight. Real show. --Arbiteroftruth 02:15, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. --Fuzzball! (talk) 03:38, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Wikipedia is a good place for both "serious" articles as well as pop culture. --jchardt 17:42, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I thought it was rather entertaining. Rentastrawberry 00:08, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable show. Not fancruft. Jacoplane 23:20, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. I'm watching it now and it is worthy to be on Wiki. Assuming good faith goes a long way and needs patience.Mrja84 21:57:12, 2005-09-01 (ESDT)
 * Keep.At what point did Wikipedia become an Encyclopedia of prominent events? I thought the idea of having a huge encyclopedia that anyone can add to was to create a compendium of as much knowledge as possible.  Its not like someone made up an entry for a show that isn't real.  This is a real thing and even if it was only on the air for one episode, that's enough.  What difference does it make if there's an entry for a show that you don't think is good enough?  Don't read it.  However, Prison Break is airing as we speak, and therefore can be counted among all the things that have ever occured and ever been created by man.
