The result was   delete. I'm sorry but right now this just isn't Numberwang. However if sources turn up later we can "rotate the board". I'll be glad to userfy or incubate this article on request. Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:52, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Tuned Out

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable. The article is written by the show's director and star,, which raises obvious COI issues; virtually all of the (rather thin) sourcing comes from his own website. Prioryman (talk) 11:24, 7 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Strong delete. No evidence of substantial coverage in independent reliable sources; the only secondary source presented is from a local newspaper. The accolades the show has won are also local in nature. Accordingly, there is no notability for the subject outside of that local scope. Additionally, the conflict of interest raises the question of whether this article exists just to inform or to promote the subject. —C.Fred (talk) 13:07, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Little indication of wp:notabiliity given. But it looks like actual notability is a possibility. COI makes the neutrality of the article suspect but does not affect possible inherent notability. Give them a couple months to establish WP:notability, and re-nominate then if not fixed? North8000 (talk) 13:25, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The problem is, it's possible future notability. When I've searched for the show's title plus the director's name (because the title is a pretty common phrase), I get a limited amount of local press coverage. In this case, I think the better approach is give a couple month to establish notability, and let them (or better yet, an independent editor) recreate the article if/when notability is achieved and demonstrable. —C.Fred (talk) 13:32, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
