The Crossing (South African TV series)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:TVSERIES. Not yet released. Distinct from The Crossing (TV series), the American series, which happens to also fail that guideline. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 01:25, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete "Although no official broadcaster has yet been confirmed"...we don't have a network to air it on, we don't have an article. We're not an WP:ADVERT for the South African television industry to consider this show on; in reverse, America's Crossing has a network and will air in midseason, so it's got that minimum hurdle overcome.

 * Delete I've been trying to work with the editor who is making most of the edits to the article but, from both his previous and current usernames I suspect he may have a COI. Most of the edits have been completely unsourced, or sourced to imdb and have been reverted accordingly. However, if they are based on personal knowledge then it seems the series' future is uncertain at this time and unlikely to air as early as May 2018, which is what is stated in the article. It's clearly too early for this article. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 04:11, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Despite a promise from the main contributor on my talk page 6 days ago, none of the claims have been sourced. The only changes were a return of a previous editor who added content sourced to imdb, Wikipedia and a dubious Facebook page. The Facebook page seems to have been setup to support the unsourced claim that the series name had changed. However, the posts refer to "The Crossing", not "Obsession". And then there was this. The "article" at tvsa.co.za was based on a new blog post, the very first in fact, by a new member of that website. The more I see, the more suspicious I am. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 08:02, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
