No sources, and subject to vandalism by users inserting random inappropriately named videos  C t j f 8 3  talk 00:18, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sources do exist, and vandalism is no grounds for article deletion unless the creation itself was an act of vandalism. --Blanchardb- Me MyEars MyMouth -timed 00:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * what are you talking about? how are google search results a valid reference  C t j f 8 3  talk 00:39, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Look into them. Some of those are what the author should have mentioned in the article. --Blanchardb- Me MyEars MyMouth -timed 00:43, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * that's not my job, you say keep, link me to a valid reference  C t j f 8 3  talk 00:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I rest my case. --Blanchardb- Me MyEars MyMouth -timed 00:48, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Then I move for a retrial. Provide a SPECIFIC reference, a reliable source, not a Google search.--WaltCip (talk) 17:09, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see any reliable sources anywhere, which is rather telling for web content... Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:49, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Maybe merge to Youtube, and recreate if sources are found.   Happy Holidays!!  Malinaccier (talk) 01:09, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with YouTube. It seems to exist, but it doesn't warrant a separate article. J- ſtan ContribsUser page 01:21, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm all up for a merge, if better sources can be found  C t j f 8 3  talk 01:22, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Or any at all. Hey, look what I found! I think this is sufficient for a small section in the YouTube page. J- ſtan ContribsUser page 01:25, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * weak keep or merge - Sources such as this: seem to establish that Youtube is looking at making a TV channel. Keep in mind that this is a proposal and does not necessarily mean that it will happen. \ -- Hdt 83      Chat 01:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * what is this Guardian Unlimited, is it a reliable UK source?  C t j f 8 3  talk 20:07, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I looked up "Guardian Unlimited" in a popular online encyclopedia and found this link. It'd be good to see more effort from AFD contributors - David Gerard (talk) 16:02, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Please AGF  C t j f 8 3  talk 18:25, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Youtube Like the previous editor put it, this info is only sufficient for a small section on Youtube, should not be a standalone article. Chris!  c t 07:24, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Irrelevant; no significance. When you keep it then merge with Youtube. --Fromgermany (talk) 07:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - article is unsourced and everything I've seen is either "we're thinking about it" or rumor/speculation. --B (talk) 08:59, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * merge Recieves a lot of vandal attention, can be merged with Youtube and then wikified and cleaned up . cf38  talk  09:26, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - current version has insufficient content to justify a separate article. Addhoc (talk) 22:50, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete If taken at face value, this is going to be one of the features on a digital TV service in Great Britain. Doesn't seem that significant.  However, I like the gigantic picture of Speed Racer's dad, or whoever that is. Mandsford (talk) 23:31, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-sourced information and likely hoax. --Mhking (talk) 01:37, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: We have sources, which prove that it isn't a hoax. J- ſtan ContribsUser page 04:32, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The sources cited above mention a proposal for a YouTube channel; this article says that a YouTube channel will start in early 2008 in the UK. There is no source that indicates this will be the case. I reemphasize my suggestion that this is a hoax entry. --Mhking (talk) 19:57, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless reliable sources are provided that this is actually going to happen on January 8.  Corvus cornix  talk  23:46, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete because I agree with all the other delete comments above. Tavix (talk) 23:51, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Though some mention could be made in the YouTube article if this TV channel is confirmed to exist. Master of Puppets Care to share?  05:07, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
