Williams Street Swap Shop

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable talk show lacking non-trivial, independent support. red dogsix (talk) 17:29, 6 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment - This article is for a valid show produced by Williams Street that is aired Monday-Friday on their home page and is a valid production. This page acts as a primer to the show to allow those that have not been following the show to become acclimated to the backstory and cast of characters. EDIT: It is created in the same spirit as the page devoted to FishCenter Live which is another flagship show of Adult Swim's streaming content. User:CAIRat (talk) 18:08, 6 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete I can find no significant coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability.  What I did find were mentions and less press releases.  --Whpq (talk) 18:46, 6 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment - I have added multiple outside references to this show including Variety. CAIRat (talk) 19:28, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - This is no more than simple listing of the show. A listing in anything is hardly non-trivial support.   red dogsix (talk) 19:33, 6 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment - (Moved from main article page as entered by another user) It's a show. Law in order is a show. You have a law and order wiki, so if you remove this you're employing a double standard that makes no sense. You consideration of it's triviality is an opinion as I personally find Law and order to be a trivial and unimportant show, but darn do my ice age parents sure love it. So please, reconsider, a lot of us would appreciate this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CAIRat (talk • contribs) 20:23, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment - The difference with Law and Order and this show is there are a great number of references in existence about that L&O. There are none about this show except trivial ones.  Just to make sure, no one is calling this or any other show "trivial and unimportant."  I am glad your parents like it, but popularity has no bearing on Wikipedia based notability.  red dogsix (talk) 22:57, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

 * The fact that it is only streamed online means that it would not meet WP:TVSERIES. And it fails WP:GNG. Delete. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:40, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - It was announced on March 13. 2017 that the Swap Shop would be aired at 4am on Thursday (March 16, 2017). Much in the same vein as they have done in the past with FishCenter Live. I am hoping that having the show OTA will give it an added degree of consideration for retention. EDIT: I am aware that it has to be a recurring segment to meet WP:TVSERIES and am working to verify the airing schedule in hopes of achieving that notability.

 * Keep - Williams Street Swap Shop is now airing pre-recorded, condensed episodes on the air on Adult Swim as part of their "Williams Stream" programming block that airs Tuesday-Saturday at 0400. The Swap Shop is included in a weekly rotation of shows along with 3-4 other programs from the [as] Streams. I would argue that this now makes it eligible to meet WP:TVSERIES and, as such, it looks to meet the eligibility requirements as it is aired on a national network and, while only just starting to air on television, it has been around for well over a year in other media and, judging from future channel listings, will continue to air for the foreseeable future. If this doesn't put this issue to rest, please comment below with what else I need to submit to maintain this article. Thank you! User:CAIRat (talk) 17:03, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - "Generally, an individual radio or television program is likely to be notable if it airs on a network of radio or television stations (either national or regional in scope), or on a cable television network with a national audience." Emphasis added.  Given that this has not actually become a regular series that has a broadcast history, and lacks any sort of coverage in reliable sources, I am no inclined to change my view that this show meets notability.  It may become notable over time as it airs; that would be when an article on Wikipedia would be appropriate. -- Whpq (talk) 23:46, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
