The Guild (web series)

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

A non-notable online sitcom. Jmlk 1  7  04:42, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, no reliable third-party references that would indicate that this is a notable series yet. Lankiveil (speak to me) 11:32, 18 March 2008 (UTC).
 * Not voting, since I don't have an account, but please bear in mind it just won an SXSW award. That alone should establish notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.109.134.228 (talk • contribs) 11:42, 18 March 2008
 * The show is also nominated for 'Best Series' in the 2007 YouTube Video awards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.104.10.143 (talk) 21:51, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Nominated for best series on YouTube constitutes notability in itself +SXSW award per 12.104.10.143 above. -Duribald (talk) 08:06, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep SXSW is a notable event and the award confers some notability. I added a cite from the News & Observer, which is a reliable third-party reference, regarding the award. Incidentally, the other awards it's up for are set to be announced within the next few days; while we can't build notability on speculation, there's certainly an argument to be made for watching how those turn out.Lawikitejana (talk) 04:06, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Update: FWIW, won the YouTube Video Award in the series category (39.9% of the vote, of 5 nominees), though I haven't seen YouTube give any figures yet for how many votes that represents, and also won the Yahoo! Video Awards in the series division with twice the votes of its nearest competitor (60% of 22,226 votes).Lawikitejana (talk) 19:46, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Now up to three respectable awards, which will most likely attract further press attention in the next few days as well. Hqb (talk) 20:46, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * In fact, The Guardian just published a story about the fact that "The Guild" beat out a series that starred Paul Rudd: YouTube awards celebrate buffalo battles and bouncing baby.Lawikitejana (talk) 07:13, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Definitely notable. Smokizzy (talk) 16:26, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
