The Ben and Dave Show

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

Non-notable podcast. Current sources barely mention it. Only lasted six episodes. Tagged for notability and sources. Prod contested in September. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 02:48, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Redirect to Here TV and if there is any salvageable content Merge it. I was the one who originally opened the PROD. I searched for sources at the time I opened the PROD and I did another search now. I don't see any sources that would demonstrate that this passes WP:GNG or WP:WEBCRIT.

 * , would you a support a merge to Here TV? Cunard (talk) 08:45, 18 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete, couldn't find any additional sources to support notability. The status quo article really seems to have scraped the barrel. The whole prose about the show in the Entertainment Weekly source is . The solo paragraph in the Blade means the Gazette is the only in-depth source . My search in TWL and Google News also turned up strictly passing mentions in HX Magazine, GoLocalProv, and AndroidKosmos; that's it.

 * Call me neutral on a merge for now. I gave the Gazette source another look and I take back my "in-depth" assessment. Since the coverage is all from the debut of the show, I'm not sure we could even reliably verify the number of episodes or that it was canceled.

 * Merge/redirect to Here TV per Deletion policy. I did not find significant coverage in reliable sources about the subject. The best source I found that was not already in the Wikipedia article was: The article notes: "If you were watching two well-groomed hosts on here! TV talking about closeted celebrities and CorbinFisher.com, you’d assume they were gay, right? Yes, ben harvey and dave Rubin of The Ben and Dave Show are indeed queer. But the cute two-some (who have an easy, almost brotherly on-air rapport) give a new definition to “straight-acting.” Give your gaydar a workout when the show premieres on Friday, March 14."
