Two articles about student-produced television series that aired on a university television station, not properly referenced as passing WP:TVSHOW criteria. As always, television shows are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they existed -- the notability test is the reception of WP:GNG-worthy coverage about the show in media independent of itself to externally validate its significance. These, however, are both referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and show no evidence of media coverage whatsoever.
The attempted further notability claim, that they won regional awards for local television production in their own state, would be fine if the articles were well-sourced, but is still not an instant notability clinch without demonstrated passage of GNG either.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt either of these shows from having to have significantly better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 18:27, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect both to NTTV as WP:ATD-R. A partial merge may be appropriate if there is verifiable information that fits well in that article. The fact that there doesn't seem to be any local press about the awards suggests these regional Emmy awards don't confer notability. If someone can find some SIGCOV on the wins for these shows, I'd consider a keep, but I was unable to. —siro χ o 20:30, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
