The result was delete. The artcile contains zero references. As DHowell mentioned, the slogan has some mentions in the press, but most of the results are not freely accessible, and from search results it seems that most mentions are quite trivial, which is not enough to establish notability.

Welcome Home (CBS Television Network)

Patent nonsense. I suggest a redirect to CBS.--Edtropolis 19:58, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

-Edtropolis, I would really like to hear your idea of "nonsense"! My artcles are totally based on fact by what is seen in all forms of broadcasting. -numbaonestunna

Support redirect though it doesn't fit the CSD definition of patent nonsense--Ispy1981 21:36, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge to List of CBS slogans which is an appropriate article to cover this subject. See also this AFD.  I'd also like folks to note that this is but one of the slogans with an article.  None of them are sourced, but I assume they can be since it is a major broadcast network which one would hope has had some history written about it.  FrozenPurpleCube 01:38, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as promobabble and non-notable. Maybe a brief mention, sans glitter, in CBS. -- Rob C (Alarob) 01:57, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Believe it or not, it's been covered in articles in major papers: . This meets both significant and multiple coverage standards.  My preference is for a single article covering the subject per network, though, not one per slogan.  FrozenPurpleCube 04:09, 16 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Renominate with the rest of Category:CBS slogans and List of CBS slogans. Whatever is decided for this article should be applied to most if not all of the other slogans as well. Ichibani  utc 02:21, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment on what I anticipate with the addition of the other articles. Merge to one article; CBS slogans (currently a redirect to the list) seems like an appropriate title.  This slogan does not seem to have sufficient notability for an individual page, lacking significant coverage per WP:NOTABILITY -- the news articles do not seem to focus on the slogan.  I presume this is true for most if not all the slogans.  Also, these articles currently do not satisfy verifiability: there are no sources listed for this and other slogan pages I checked (You're on CBS, This is CBS) as well as what appears to be some original research (artistic analysis of the advertisements).  I am presuming notability for the list as a whole, but I haven't looked into it properly yet.  Presumably most of the factual content from the articles came from somewhere, and hopefully one of the original editors will provide their source.  Ichibani  utc 02:21, 23 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Note: should be relisted either way, as the AfD was never mentioned on the article itself. I just added the template to the article now. Ichibani  utc 02:21, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, there are plenty of reliable sources talking about this slogan: Google News Archive turns up 113 hits on the search '"Welcome Home" CBS slogan'. DHowell 04:04, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Mentioning the slogan and providing "significant coverage" (from WP:NOTABILITY) are not the same thing. There's no guarantee the content of those articles is satisfactory to either warrant or fill an encyclopedia article.  Considering that the a lot of the article's content is not trivial mention of what it was, but also why it was that way and what effects it had, reliable sources specifically discussing the topic are needed.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,


 * Delete - not nonsense, but not sufficiently notable, either. The slogan itself seems to be one common thread through a saga of many otherwise completely separate events and occurences.--Vox Humana 8' 13:16, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

-Vox Humana, read my full statement below. It isn't just about the slogan. -numbaonestunna

 * '''Merge to [[List of CBS slogans]]. No evidence it had notability beyond its use on the network. Edison 20:13, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I've used my spare time to compose these articles about these CBS campaigns, and I for one think it is a total waste of my time for you all to just decide to scrap work that has been seen by other users as totally relevant by both Wikipedia and nostaligic standards. For one thing, you all discuss this matter as if it only applies to mere slogans. You all need to look at these articles more carefully; it is the network campaigns that are covered in these works, not just necessarily the slogan. A slogan is just the tool used as a way for the public to identify a campaign. Besides a slogan, campaigns also feature jingles, a variety of promotional spots in TV, print and radio, and they also closely tie in with the shows on any given network. Many network campaigns run over the years have become quite popular to the point that they seep into the subconscious of the public. With all this figured in, the articles definately should stay, since people do search for this kind of information, especially if they haven't seen material from a certain campaign in many years. -numbaonestunna


 * Keep. We have articles for all the other slogans. Why pick on this one? RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 22:41, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
