The Fifth Quarter (TV series)

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

Unsourced for over a decade, found no WP:SIGCOV online. Doesn't meet WP:GNG. Previously prodded, but deprodded with the rationale: "8 seasons on national network may meet WP:NTV" ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 03:39, 5 December 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Relisting. I'd like to hear from more editors plus an assessment of recently identified sources in this discussion (if they are accessible online). Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Delete WP:NTV is an essay which explicitly states that it is not an SNG. Without an SNG to provide additional guidance, we must use GNG. With little to no sourcing or coverage upon which one can judge notability, one must conclude that the subject is not notable. While having 8 seasons is certainly an accomplishment, that is insufficient in itself to prove notability. — Jkudlick &#x2693; (talk) 03:54, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * You can't make a credible delete argument relying solely on the current citations in the article. We also need to determine whether there are other sources out there. WP:NTV suggests that, for a show with this profile, we're likely to find something. ~Kvng (talk) 15:54, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Add sourcing to the article showing notability then ping me. I note that of the two online sources below, the one from The Age is a recap of the previous night's episode and the Sydney Morning Herald is a single paragraph that boils down to "These are the hosts." That is not the kind of extensive coverage required to show notability. — Jkudlick &#x2693; (talk) 20:49, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Below is some of the coverage that is out there. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:48, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Duffbeerforme, can you or @Cunard please find URLs for the refs below you mentioned, so that I can put the refs in the article freely. Yours sincerely, TechGeek105 (his talk page) 01:21, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete No sources for the article. I agree with user Jkudlick that this stub is just an essay. killer  bee    05:01, 12 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete No Sources, even if it was notable enough for a few articles it barely makes an article. If anyone cares enough about this topic to re-open the article in the future then they can do so. Tooncool64 (talk) 04:43, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
