TeleGuides
NN website about tv shows launched on August 5th, 2005. Prod was removed by the author.
 * Delete Renata 18:22, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep TVRage.com has an article, and it is also a "TV.com Alternative." Digger3000 02:42, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: it most likely should get deleted too, but here are the differences: at least TVRage has their own domain with Alexa rank, and their page does not say "Relative unpopularity. Due to lack of advertising, TeleGuides only has a few members so far!" Renata 19:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I think both articles should be kept. They both provide accurate and verifiable information. And they're neutral, they're not advertisements, just articles that provide information.
 * Keep --- I dunno --- the only thing is, if this is up for deletion, then by extension, shouldn't the other pages for TV.com / TV Tome knockoff sites be up for deletion too? Not that I'm suggesting they should be put up for deletion, it's just that I like consistency. Oh, and I personally am of the opinion that TVRage's page does meet the NPOV system --- "elitist standards" --- come on. Agent0042 21:07, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * You should get yourself familiar with notability guidelines on Wikipedia. Also with WP:WEB. Renata 22:27, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd hate to think that because TeleGuides isn't extremely popular that it doesn't deserve an article.
 * Delete as per my prod reason: fails WP:WEB: article has no proof of its notability. Digger3000 is the handle of siteowner, if it means anything. --Perfecto 23:41, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Well Yes I am the site owner, but the article is as neutral as I could get it.
 * Under our verifiability policy we require reliable sources indicating significance. WP:WEB outlines what we require for websites. There is no evidence that this article meets these guidelines. Delete. Capitalistroadster 00:23, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Right, again, so just tell me then why this article should be considered for deletion when the guides for TV Rage, and TV IV and Get Out the View and all of these other TV.com / TV Tome knockoff sites aren't. Agent0042 01:21, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Because they are a lot more popular. (and yes, you get my credit and respect for making it NPOV and not a blatant ad). Once your site reaches notability requirements set by WP, it will belong here; but not now. Don't confuse notability with other requirements. Renata 03:29, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, it's not my site, I was just saying. But thanks for the info. Agent0042 03:41, 20 February 2006 (UTC)


 * The site itself may not be popular (yet) but it still appeals to the same group as TVRage and the others. It's in the same category.
 * See TVrage (Articles for deletion/TVrage.com), Articles for deletion/TV IV, Articles for deletion/EPisodeWorld. The TV.com article has been needing a rewrite, too. --Perfecto  04:20, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I've added some info I consider of basic interest to the TV.com guide (i.e. editor/trusted user system and new features) and will probably add more when I have the chance. Agent0042 00:08, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I just put TVRage on speedy as repost (rule 4). Renata 07:13, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, well somebody else just went and removed it. Agent0042 18:14, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * This is an advert for a site. No notability is established. The history, user categories, how-tos, etc. belong on their own website, not Wikipedia. Stifle 16:30, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, and delete. Stifle 16:31, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
