WP:DEPRODed by editor who does not understand that WP:TVSHOW does not trump WP:GNG – IOW, a show airing on a national network can be presumed to be notable, but there are exceptions (esp. for reality-type TV programs, and childrens TV shows, as this one is). In any case, current article does not demonstrate the notability of the subject under WP:GNG. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:49, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: Single-season TV show that aired for approximately 3 months. No RS in sight. – Laundry Pizza 03  ( d c&#x0304; ) 17:06, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of CBeebies shows Clearly does meet TVSHOW, but it needs more than an WP:ITEXISTS article for sure with nothing more that tells us it was another CBeebies bomb. This is barely more than nothing and if I'm convinced to keep, we need much more for this to be a full-fledged article.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 22:27, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:TVSHOW actually says "Generally, an individual radio or television program is likely to be notable if it airs on a network of radio or television stations (either national or regional in scope), or on a cable television channel with a broad regional or national audience." The key words there are "generally" and "likely" – just because a TV program airs nationally does not guarantee it will be "notable": it just makes it a lot more likely. There are exceptions, and reality-type shows and childrens TV shows (like this one) are in many cases not notable, even when aired "nationally". This is one of those. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:19, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree, it was a definite '26-and-out' without anyone taking notice or buying the toys, but it still aired. A redirect is better than a redlink.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 23:48, 13 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Redirect to List of CBeebies shows as the original page creator. Go Jetters started airing around about the same time and started out like a stub just like this page did - that one grew in size while this one went out completely. There's not enough sources to write with on this series. - Nott Nott  10:46, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of CBeebies shows as WP:ATD. ~Kvng (talk) 12:13, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
