I can't find any reliable sources that show notability. Fails WP:NF. Schuym1 (talk) 19:04, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment I found reference to a documentary by the same name, the same year, which aired on A&E. However, since all sources are subscription-only, I can't figure out whether it's the same documentary, so I'm not voting either way, just providing the possible sources. See: .

 * 4 of those 5 refs are just program guides. Schuym1 (talk) 21:35, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, it's current state is abysmal, but it is also about potential. Did the program win awards? Did any notable people work on it like Zahi Hawass? There just might be potential here, but we'd need the final ref to check it. - Mgm|(talk) 13:13, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That potential source is 196 words long and not completely dedicated to this subject. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:57, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Didn't we already establish that even if a film includes a notable person, that does not make the film notable in itself? JamesBurns (talk) 01:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The 4-part series was actually aired on A&E beginning in July of 1997, not History Channel in 1996.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 04:43, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep per now greatly expanded and sourced article which shows that the film meets the general notability guidelines of film notability in that it the film is part of the sylabus at accredited universities and colleges as part of anthropology and archaeology courses.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:56, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep After the improvements by Michael Q Schmidt, sourcing and notability are no longer a problem.  Raven1977 Talk to me My edits  06:08, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Expanded article shows it's been used to teach academic courses which means it meets criteria. - Mgm|(talk) 11:11, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
