System Crash (TV series)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to be a minor television series without coverage in reliable sources. No references at all, nor could I find them in a search. Fails WP:GNG. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 07:30, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of programs broadcast by YTV per WP:CHEAP.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 08:06, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Switch to Keep As per usual, Bearcast is the royalty of Canadian television information around here and has improved the article in ways being south of the border I could not.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 17:27, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Just to be clear, this is a 14 year old article that was written to old standards — in the 2000s, articles were often exempted from actually having to cite any sources to show the topic's notability so long as their existence was verifiable. Yes, that was incredibly stupid of us, which is exactly why our inclusion and sourcing standards have been tightened up in the intervening years — but that does mean we have a lot of old, bad articles still waiting to be cleaned up. That said, for a 20-year-old show the best sources won't be out on the Google — media coverage from back then isn't sitting out on open web anymore, and has to be retrieved from news archives like ProQuest or newspapers.com — and within just two minutes on ProQuest, I was able to find and add articles from two of Canada's top five gold standard newspapers. And if it was that easy, then it's very likely that additional sources can be found in databases I don't have access to which archive other publications not in Canadian Newsstand.

 * Keep per Bearcat, Even tho I wasn't around pre-2010 even I know Wikipedia was very different then to what it is now, Bearcat has since improved and although it could do with more work WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Sourcing the article is fine and imho meets GNG. – Davey 2010 Talk 21:05, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
