Only one source found. Deprodded without comment Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:07, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Television-related deletion discussions. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:07, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Two sources cited in article are sufficient enough to pass WP:GNG at the very least. In addition, PROD was removed with comment "PROD removed. Added citation, send to AfD", not "Deprodded without comment" as stated above. Donald D23   talk to me  21:59, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The Lansing State Journal piece is a press release. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:04, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Was article writen by Tanya Barrientos from KRT News Service. WikiVirusC (talk) 22:30, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Again, not a press release. Press releases are made by the makers/distributors of the film, not independent writers. Donald D23   talk to me  22:33, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep I added in the Tampa Bay Times source to go with the one already there. From realityblurred.com I found out TV Guide did coverage/interview(archive is unavailable). Chicago Sun-Times review by Phil Rosenthal "It's always dorkiest before this Dawn". Aug. 3, 2004) via NewsBank. New York Daily News review. New York Post review. Also found else where, The New York Times review by Virginia Heffernan. Aug. 3, 2004. Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond. Aug. 2, 2004. There's more but WP:GNG passes.

 * Reality TV Blurred is a fan site. No way is that reliable. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:36, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Please read what I wrote, please.... I said from them I found those other reliable sources(-NYP). Who cares about reliability of realityblurred, they mentioned 3 different WP:RS and I looked for those articles and posted what I could find. WikiVirusC (talk)</b> 22:39, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I can't access NewsBank. Seems like all the sources you found are just routine run-of-the-mill churnalism slobbering over a new show because someone paid them to slobber over it. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:46, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Where is your proof that these are paid promotions? Provide facts to support these statements. Donald D23   talk to me  22:50, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That they're gushy, overly positive pieces churned out by a press company is all the proof I need. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:58, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Purely your opinion. No different than conservatives in the US saying CNN isn't true and liberals in the US saying FOX News isn't true. Donald D23   talk to me  23:10, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * You can't just dismiss sources because you find them to be too positive. matt91486 (talk) 14:22, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * "The Player" isn't merely unscripted; it's virtually unwatchable. Hollywood Reporter
 * What "The Player" represents, I'm sorry to say, is one more clog in the current prime-time TV cesspool. New York Daily News
 * Hate nearly everything about this ridiculous waste of time. Even if you can't quite care enough to despise it, there's so much to dislike about UPN's leap into... Chicago Sun-Times
 * LACTOSE-intolerance warning: "The Player," UPN's new reality show, is so cheesy that all you need is macaroni for a complete dinner. New York Post
 * Hardly overly positive. <b style="color:#000080; font-family:Tahoma">WikiVirus</b><u style="font-family: Tahoma">C <b style="color:#008000">(talk)</b> 11:10, 25 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep - sources provided are sufficient for GNG. matt91486 (talk) 14:22, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
