 * Merge any sourceable content to Newport Television — and that's if any sourceable material exists; all I'm finding so far is passing mentions in the sale of Clear Channel's television stations to the private equity firm that went on to form Newport (this digital subchannel "network" — if even that, it may have just been a common branding for a set of similarly-programmed subchannels — was originally created by Clear Channel); if not, I am not opposed to outright deletion. In any event, I cannot see any possible independent notability from its parent station group (it never aired on any non-Clear Channel/Newport station), and the lack of significant coverage makes that clear. (Even the types of junk PR sourcing that can inflate the importance of non-notable entities isn't turning up anywhere.)  WC  Quidditch  ☎   ✎  03:30, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Merge to Newport Television. ProQuest has enough hits that I'm confident merge is DUE, but I agree N may be hard to establish here. NOPAGE also informs, as this subject does seem to be largely a branding effort. &mdash;siro&chi;o 06:45, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
