Star of the Family

The only source for this article is IMDB, and by RS/IMDB, that is "mostly user-submitted and often subject to incorrect speculation, rumor, and hoaxes. The use of the IMDb on Wikipedia as a sole reference is usually considered unacceptable and is discouraged" Huldra (talk) 23:18, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep: This is a sitcom that aired on ABC in 1982; like pretty much every US network primetime show, it got newspaper coverage and reviews. I added five sources, including a Gannett News Service article, "Teen savors life as overnight star"; a review from The Pittsburgh Press, "Two Sitcoms Nicely Mine Human Nature"; and another review from Gannett, "'Star of the Family': Good idea gone awry". — Toughpigs (talk) 02:02, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: The article isn't a plain IMDB mirror as insinuated by the nominator. Considering how difficult it is to find sources for programming in the '80s, seven reliable references from newspaper archives are enough to keep the article on the basis of WP:SIGCOV.

 * Keep per toughpigs, the sitcom has enough coverage to pass wp:sigcov -- ☆★  Mamushir   ( ✉✉ ) 16:05, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Sitcom starring mainstream stars (including Brian Dennehey) ariing on ABC, with RS to support. Deathlibrarian (talk) 16:11, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
