The Incredibly Strange Film Show

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. Reason was " For this to remain we require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. IT has not come through the WP:AFC process, despite the banner announcing that it has done so. No notability is asserted nor verified."

Since the contesting of the PROD a pseudo-reference has appeared, but notability remains unasserted and unverified. Fiddle  Faddle  13:55, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Numerous mentions in books on cult cinema indicate its importance (more refs added to article). It also plays an important role in the career of Jonathan Ross, one of British TV's biggest personalities. There was also a spin-off book which may have attracted reviews (there's one of the Italian translation here but I don't know if L'Indice is a reliable source). I wasn't able to check newspaper archives, but there is very likely to be additional press coverage from the pre-internet era. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:25, 20 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep This Book [] is a later revision and spin-off to the show authored by Jonathan Ross himself.
 * Part of the problem is the use of psychotronics in the lead, which is grossly misleading, far as I can understand. This is a series about B movies. One ref, TV.com, mistakenly uses "psychotronic," and I wonder if the summary text there is in fact merely mirroring what was on Wikipedia? is that possible?

 * Oh, I see, it's the little used term B_movie. I'll fix that in the lead. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:00, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
