The Greatest (TV series)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unreferenced article that does not assert its notability. It is also unclear whether all the listed programmes actually belong to a series per se. -- JediLofty UserTalk 09:56, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete not a TV series but, several different TV programmes (not all of which are even "The Greatest"). Jasynnash2 (talk) 10:27, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep a referenced article on a TV Series. Passes WP:NOTE Dalejenkins | 12:47, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Where are the references? -- JediLofty UserTalk 12:48, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment There are 22. Dalejenkins | 12:54, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Dalejenkins is correct but, the article had no references section or reflist. I've tried to fix but, have done it wrong. I'm still 99% sure we are talking about a number of different programmes though and therefor am sticking with my original opinion. Jasynnash2 (talk) 13:18, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I converted the inline links to references. However most were not from reliable sources and those that remain are primary sources, which aren't enough for an article to assert notability.--  JediLofty UserTalk 14:09, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I noticed that but, am doing the "trying to be fair thing". Thanks for correcting what was there. Jasynnash2 (talk) 14:21, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - this is a list of VH1 specials. However this does not meet notability requirements --T-rex 16:51, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - Simple google news search turns up lots of refs. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 00:29, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete the references in the article are primary sources. The Google new search above turned up a press release from VH1, and numerous "what's-on-TV-tonight" style news articles Matthew Edwards (talk • contribs • email) 05:25, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - "What's on TV" pieces are usually a single paragraph per episode, these are entire articles about the show. An entire article could be referenced about the one that selected Oprah as the number one pop icon.  Look at again. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 06:16, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment You might be able to find references to create an article on that particular episode, if you so desire, but that doesn't mean that the series is notable. -- JediLofty UserTalk 11:55, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep (but weakly) per Peregrine Fisher. This CBS story can be added into the bag of independent third party sources about these programs. My main concern is confirming that all these shows are indeed part of a series and not a list of standalones, but it is not strong enough for me to advocate deletion at this time.
