Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/TV6 (Malaysia)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Radio Televisyen Malaysia. This seems the lightest way to take this off mainspace until there is sourcing. The redirect can be undone immediately the sources emerge. Spartaz Humbug! 15:50, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

TV6 (Malaysia)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article asserts the introduction of a new television station, yet there are NO reliable sources on the internet. Fails WP:ORG. Similar basis as Articles for deletion/TV5 (Malaysia). WWGB (talk) 22:15, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

 * What's weird is that it seems to exist (multiple Malaysian Twitter users have noted its presence) but there is absolutely no press yet, and I tried several search terms. This would be immediately notable if just one reliable source article could show up. If deleted, I'd have no objection to its restoration at the appearance of a reliable source.

 * Redirect to Radio Televisyen Malaysia. Mjroots (talk) 07:09, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It is not clear that this station even exists. How can we redirect a possible non-existant station to an unconfirmed owner? WWGB (talk) 08:00, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I was AGF that the station is launching next week. The subject has been brough up at WP:ANI. If it is a hoax, then Delete is right and proper. In fact, I'd go further and say Delete and SALT. Mjroots (talk) 14:20, 3 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. I found absolutely nothing RS. I found a YouTube channel, apparently of a private individual, with a couple of videos allegedly of a test card. There are comments under those videos asserting that TV6 belongs to RTM, the major Malaysian public broadcaster. However, RTM themselves seem to have been remarkably coy - not to say deafeningly silent - about its launch (said to have been on 1 March 2021).
 * File:TV6Logo2021.png, the logo, is labelled as "own work". If that is true, it suggests a hoax; if false, copyright infringement. The results os a Google image search were meagre, to say the least - 3 hits in Wikipedia, and that was all.
 * I also found non-RS (blog) evidence (1, 2) for two other Malaysian stations called TV6 or 6TV; with totally different logos.
 * TV6 has been added, unsourced, to the RTM article. That will need to be dealt with one way or the other. Narky Blert (talk) 10:24, 3 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. If it's real, it's notable. Delete it for now, but with a closer comment indicating that the deletion shouldn't be evidence against recreation if RS sources emerge. BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 15:56, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Blocked for UPE, sockpuppetry. MER-C 18:09, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep On an ANI report someone had reported this article to be deleted. I agree with what another said about waiting next week to when the station comes out. A delete isn't recommended but maybe a protection, till the station officially releases to avoid vandalism? SoyokoAnis  00:28, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep There's at least one source in there now, so looks less like this is totally made up. FWIW, the source says its on the myFreeview platform in Malaysia, but the myFreeview site doesn't list it. Shifted vote from Delete to Weak Keep. BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 14:25, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Google Translate of part of the added source makes me think RTM is waiting for a specific time to announce this: Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 07:12, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete for crystallballing, rebuild if the official launch date, channel number on other platforms and its programming line-up is announced by RTM. --#WikialtyForAll (No habla Twinkle) 10:44, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Go  Phightins  !  17:29, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Draftify my guess is there is an official announcement under embargo, possibly pending some approval. It shouldn't be deleted, but also shouldn't be in mainspace. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 19:21, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
