Thousand Dollar Bee

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Per WP:TVSERIES: "[T]he presence or absence of reliable sources is more definitive than the geographic range of the program's audience alone[…]a national television program can be non-notable if it got cancelled too quickly to have garnered any real media coverage." This was the best that I could find:


 * Press release that gives less than a full sentence
 * Trade publication with a less-than-full-sentence mention
 * Trivial mention in a book about African Americans in the media.

To call any of those three significant, third-party coverage would really be stretching a definition. I can't find any scrap of information on the show besides the network it aired on, and that is clearly not enough for an article. It was cancelled too quickly for any sort of media coverage, and the fact that it aired on a national cable network doesn't grant it inherent notability since absolutely no sources of any kind exist.

 * Delete The channel is also completely defunct, so there would be no harm in deleting this article. Few sources, little notability and a grand prize that makes a year worth of Turtle Wax look like a better choice.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 07:10, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
