The A-List (2007 TV series)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Deprodded with a Common Sense Media review. However, the only other sources I could find were false positives that used the phrase "The A-List" in other articles on Animal Planet, or superficial mentions that only verify the show's existence and nothing more.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The review notes: "Parents need to know that, despite its TV-G rating, this series is laced with sexual innuendoes that will either go over kids' heads or instigate lots of questions that parents may not want to answer. Comedians often make jokes about how animals' mating rituals and sexual practices compare to humans', and there's occasional mention of the critters using their sex appeal for "getting action." Some scenes also show decaying and dismembered animal carcasses."  The article notes: ""The A-List" (Friday, 9 and 9:30 p.m., Animal Planet). D-list comics joke about animals mating while clips are shown. Most surprising is that whip-tailed lizards have evolved without males, and reproduction occurs because a female gets a testosterone surge. The first installment, "Lovers," is strictly for teens because of the double entendres. The second episode, "Loud mouths," has a cute line from Gilbert Gottfried : "I don't like people who talk loud or have annoying voices."" Less significant coverage:  The article notes: "Combine animals, "celebrities" and countdowns and you've got "The A-List" (9 p.m., Animal Planet) a punch line driven take on behavior in the wild. Just who are the biggest gluttons in the animal world? The best parents? The Top 10 loud mouths? Panelists include Danny Bonaduce and Gilbert Gottfried, so we're talking the cream of the crop here."  The article notes: "The A-List: That's "A" as in "animal," as this new series provides a comic look at extreme animal behavior, with help from celebrities with similar traits — e.g., Danny Bonaduce will address the top trouble-making animals, Gilbert Gottfried the biggest loudmouths, etc. 8 p.m., Animal Planet"  The article notes: "Before then, Hoffman may host a segment of an Animal Planet special called "The A List on Animal Planet." "My segment is where they're counting down the 10 animals who most use trickery to survive," says Hoffman, "animals that mess with each other's minds so to speak.""</li> </ol></li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow The A-List to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
