 * Delete. Neglected non-notable article. —  Wylie pedia  21:12, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Didn't this used to be pretty popular?  I never watched it, but I've heard of it.  I found a few mentions, some of them admittedly a bit trivial:, , , , , , , , .  I'm pretty sure there's more coverage out there, but I'm tired to trying to refine my searches to avoid all the spam, blogs, and irrelevant hits.  Searching for  seems to help, but it's still a chore to slog through all the crap.  For anyone who wants to try to find more sources, I suggest PC Magazine, PC World, CNET, Wired.com, The New York Times, and Ars Technica.  These are the sites that I usually go to when I search for notability for tech-related topics.  Maybe someone can find a few hits that I missed. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:22, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep: Though off the air 10 years now (making it slightly harder to source), it ran for seven years and was a popular TV series.--Milowent • hasspoken  14:17, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Articles are not kept based on popularity(WP:POPULARITY), but reliable sources. All the ones provided are passing mentions, mostly about the ending of Tech TV, not the actual show.--Otterathome (talk) 11:13, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree its not about popularity, but this show is notable (one of many articles that can be found, for editors so inclined), you do not claim it was not in the nomination, I noted.--Milowent • hasspoken 13:06, 13 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete I am happy with the sfgate reference. If someone found 1-2 more sources which reviewed the subject of this article then I would !vote keep, but right now, this fails WP:GNG.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  20:09, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Highlight show on TechTV; notability is not lost over time. Even killing all the segment and fan-cruft, a good stub is still formed from all of this.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 02:02, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
