 * Keep: Has Secondary sources like NYT, etc. CSMention269 (talk) 06:05, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * the NYT is a simple listing and comes nowhere near the depth required. Star   Mississippi  14:25, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment. I deleted the so-called reception. You can't take a 11-word mention before the program has even aired and call that "reception". At best, it is an anticipation, and is no more significant than being mentioned in the yellow pages. Geschichte (talk) 10:36, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No opinion. I created this years ago when I was trying to tackle GSN originals that lacked articles. Admittedly, it does appear that there is unfortunately not very much out there in terms of secondary sourcing. On the other hand, while I do consider myself to be an inclusionist, I find it a bit hard to believe that a show that aired for multiple seasons on a national cable network lacks any or all notability to the point where it doesn't at least justify a short article documenting the show's existence. At this point, I find myself pretty disillusioned with some of this site's policies, so I'm not sure I'm in the best position to make a keep or delete vote here without a conflict of interest. With that said, I'll gladly let others decide the fate of this discussion. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 16:41, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: None of the cited sources provide anything close to SIGCOV. A listing in a TV guide, or a passing mention in a newspaper, do not provide any value in terms of notability. I'm surprised to see all the WP:PERX here hanging their !vote on someone who, more than likely, didn't bother checking those secondary sources. Owen&times; &#9742;  19:56, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Final relist Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Shadow311 (talk) 15:30, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: Needs more citations that are WP: SIGCOV and WP: INDEPENDENT. All I can see is mere mentions and premier which incredibly is not a criteria for deletion and as such, there was online sources still existing on its creation date that could have taken coverage if the game show is/was notable. Personal point of views fails WP: THREE. Even the NYT article wasn't broadly covered!  Otuọcha   (talk) 06:23, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of programs broadcast by Game Show Network per WP:ATD; generic GSN show from their most generic producer.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 17:59, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of programs broadcast by Game Show Network: I at least somewhat agree with the article creator that a multi-season show on a nationally-distributed service optimally should get the sufficient significant coverage to be deemed notable, but that's not a fait accompli, and the sourcing we do have here is thin enough that redirecting as an alternative to deletion is probably the best we can do. (For what it's worth, an earlier article on this show at That's the Question (U.S. game show) was, which may explain why a program whose run coincided with an era when our notability standards in this topic area were much looser did not appear to have an article before 2018.)

 * Appreciate you pointing that out as I was unaware a previous version of this existed. If this ends up with a consensus that it lacks notability (and it appears the discussion is trending that way), I would much rather see a redirect than a full deletion. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:10, 12 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Redirect to List of programs broadcast by Game Show Network. The sources applied do not sufficiently detail this page. A reasonable search finds nothing more useful. Redirecting with page history intact provides the opportunity to revive the page later when or if RS is found. BusterD (talk) 12:19, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment, as nominator I am agreeable to a redirect as suggested above. Donald D23   talk to me  11:43, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List_of_programs_broadcast_by_Game_Show_Network. Changed from Delete after seeing the convincing arguments by other participants. Owen&times; &#9742;  12:34, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of programs broadcast by Game Show Network. My previous vote was deleting per SIGCOV. But seeing the article again and the argument here. I found a good reason for the redirect. All the Best!   Otuọcha   (talk) 20:32, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
