Sail TV

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is an internet based streaming video channel. I have been unable to locate substantial reliable source coverage to establish notability. All I have found are press-release style text on various blogs as well as listings on some online content aggregation websites like Roku. It does not appear to have notability at a level which would pass WP:WEB standards of notability. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 02:34, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep It is a notable service broadcasting on the internet to numerous sites. This includes streaming on the Roku player, which has over a million users. This article is in the same area as Pandora Radio which broadcasts on the internet as well as the Roku. There are several articles in the Category:Internet television channels i.e. NurseTV that have less sourced information and possibly less notability than this article. This article has had and still adding reliable secondary sources noted on the article. Msw1002 (talk) 03:21, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Please note that several of the sourced reliable references were removed prior to this deletion nomination (see revision history). I won't undo the removal as I'm guessing they will be removed again. They were sources from Roku, World Match Racing Tour, Clicker.com and others. Msw1002 (talk) 03:40, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Please avoid arguments along the line of other articles are worse. If those articles are not notable, please go ahead and try to improve them or propose them for deletion as well.  In terms of the cleaning of the article, only non-notable sources were removed.  Press releases/press release style articles on blogs/etc. are not notable sources.  If you can simply provide some reliable sources to establish notability that would be most effective.  Having a link to demonstrate that an aggregator such as Roku offers the content as an option does not establish notability.  If there were articles about Sail TV in a reliable sources like a major newspaper, etc. then that could establish notability.  But I have been unable to locate such reliable sources, after looking hard for them.  That is why I have proposed the article for deletion.  ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 04:30, 25 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Unfortunately, no other sources found. Contacting Sail TV if they had more coverage was unresponsive. Until someone else finds more sources, I don't think it is worth keeping the article that I started at this time. Article can be deleted asap. Msw1002 (talk) 00:32, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
