Regional News Group

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I sent this new article to draft yesterday and it has been moved back into mainspace. It is potentially notable but none of the sources in the article are about the subject. Briefly, ABS-CBN lost its broadcast franchise (all of the sources are about this) and various regional services have been set up/continued by former employees (none of the sources are about this). If the subject can be developed it should be draftified, otherwise it should be deleted. Mccapra (talk) 13:22, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Reverted bad non-admin closure per WP:NACD. The user who closed the discussion was directly involved and had no business pursing the action.
 * Keep: No need to delete or move to draftspace, article has reliable sources. Yes theres no source about the subject, but there is source for some topics there, (ex: ABS-CBN Corporation will close ABS-CBN Regional on August 28, 2020 due to House of Representatives 70-11 vote denying/killing the new 25-year franchise for ABS-CBN last July 10, 2020).

 * Comment I think you said pretty much the same as the nom — there are sources cited, but they aren't actually relevant to the subject of this article. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:30, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete It's a pity the opportunity to develop this in the draft space wasn't taken and the article was quickly moved back; it could have possibly turned into something worth keeping, but now I've no option but to !vote to delete. And not that it's deletion grounds per se, but noting that there's also some unsavoury behaviour behind this, incl. likely COI / possible UPE by one or more editors. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:35, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Move into draftspace: I think the article still has insufficient references (citing that it has still yet to determine if there's new additional references about the subject). Ekis2020 (talk) 06:40, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete or move into draftspace No references provided have the phrases "RNG" or "Regional News Group". They all mainly talk about the former network ABS-CBN Regional, which many people part of this come from. Nexus000 (talk) 08:16, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Draftify - since this was originally move to draftspace and later moved back into mainspace by (which is "probably a controversial" move action from this aformentioned user) without any submitting for a review or using a script. CruzRamiss2002 (talk) 09:46, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Draftify: Barely found anything about the media group. Sources indicated in the article mention ABS-CBN Regional, but not RNG itself. Perhaps WP:TOOSOON. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 16:00, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  13:22, 5 May 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete and don't move to draftspace. THe actual subject of the article has one source, that to a Facebook page, failing WP:RS. All other references are for background fluff that can be, and is, already discussed elsewhere. That means we'd be left with a draft with a single reference to Facebook. If anyone wants to host it on their own user space they should be free to do so, though. Howard the Duck (talk) 22:29, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Don't delete and move to draftspace: Article was moved to draftspace but returned to article space. Lets just revert it back to draftspace. SeamJ 2007 (tallk) 13:24, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , please strike this !vote or your previous !vote on this discussion. Only one !vote per user - even if you have changed your sig to a slightly different name in the meantime. Cabayi (talk) 14:18, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Haha, Ok! SeanJ 2007 (talk) 14:56, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:GNG per nom. Does not comply with WP:NCORP since this is an "umbrella" of programs formerly of ABS-CBN Regional. SBKSPP (talk) 03:16, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
