The Bradshaws

 * — (View AfD)

Unreferenced treatment of a group of characters created on a radio show. Existence, yes.. notability? not convinced. User:Booksbooksbooks who has been the sole substantive editor here recently has been unresponsive to several messages advising of good practice.  Dei zio  talk 18:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I got all the imformation from the Bradshaws episodes and Buzz Hawkins' live show in Salford, there are dozens of articles about fictional characters that go deeper than I did (for Example, most of the articles about the Discworld series of novels go so far in imformation that the articles have become like a fansite) I'll add some references very soon and I'll try to remove imformation that is not needed-User:Booksbooksbooks

The Bradshaws was a radio comedy, with tapes and CDs of performances as well as VHS tapes being sold commercially. A television spin-off was aired nationally, and a spin-off theatre show also toured. I fail to see how The Bradshaws is not a notable series, and would in fact argue that the article needs a request for contributions from other editors, not deletion.

 * Keep as notable as others of its ilk, and no support for deletion so just close as keep rather than relisting and increasing backlog. Gene Nygaard 07:24, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep per the above. Not perhaps the most notable of sitcoms, but certainly appears to be above the threshold - we don't seem to have a specific set of criteria for radio/TV series, surprisingly, but it would pass WP:BK if it were a book, I think. :) Tevildo 06:34, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Needs a good cleanup, but I see no reason to delete. --Matth e w UND (talk) 09:35, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Seems to have minor noteablity, I agree it could use a good rewrite. Davidpdx 11:33, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Just scrapes past the notability barrier. WMMartin 18:52, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
