The Malan Show

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An article on a non-notable 2008 series, apparently created by Breton's publicist, editing as User:Jasonbenz2 (see here and here for two examples of press releases from Jason Benz on behalf of his client.) At any rate, while WP:TVSERIES advises us that a nationally cablecast series is "likely to be notable," it is not a carte blanche. This short-lived series received no independent news coverage whatsoever, far as I can tell and is simply not notable. This is actually part of a walled garden of Malan Breton-related spam articles now at Afd. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:34, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Malan Breton - this seems a logical course of action. Mabalu (talk) 22:08, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * FYI, article creator User:Jasonbenz2 has just been blocked indefinitely for using "Using Wikipedia for promotion, and deception." Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:17, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * There may well be nothing to merge to. Malan Breton has just been protected against further sockpuppet edits by Jasonbenz2 and has been retagged for speedy deletion as unambiguous advertising. The entire WP:Walled garden may be coming down. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 03:17, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * No, another editor has removed the speedy tag and done clean up. A merge is indeed possible. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:26, 17 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete ~ merge if there's anything worth saving, but as i looked at it it seems pretty much void of any useful content. cheers, LindsayHello 17:34, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - searches failed to show any in-depth coverage.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:18, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
