The station has only recently received one mainstream news article on it (and even that article [1] only talks about the subject providing shows for another station, not the station itself. Other than that, the only coverage this station/company seems to have received is on gaming websites, and most of that appears to be from self-published sources. Therefore, it is my belief that the subject fails the notability of WP:BROADCAST and WP:COMPANY Inks.LWC (talk) 05:41, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Strong Oppose this article been erased. This article should be kept on wikipedia because: Ginx TV have a number of tv channels in various countries so are quite a significant channel. They broadcast programming on challenge tv on saturdays and are now offering on demand services via bt vision. The reason most of the coverage this channel has got is from gaming websites is simple its because all of the content they make is about computer games so clearly all news coverage is going to be targeted at people who are interested in the channel. User: Jasmeet 181 cleaned up the article yesterday to remove the conflict of interest because of the company rep who was editing the article editing it called user:sarahginx. But considering the amount of tv channels they have live and other services they do they are very significant and the article is no different to any other article for a tv channel on here. So I strong oppose it been erased. The sources Jasmeet 181 added to the article yesterday are from reliable sources as well ofcom was one sources for example. Here is another article from the same website that mentions another of there channel launching http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2011/03/21/ginx-tv-launches-in-adriatic-region/ (Ruth-2013 (talk) 06:33, 28 May 2011 (UTC))

• Keep - Under WP:BROADCAST "most television stations that produce original content should be presumed notable for Wikipedia purposes." Ginx appears to make all of its shows.[2][3][4] Eurogamer and Market for Home Computing and Video Games are used in the article's references and they are clearly not self published. I don't see why gaming websites shouldn't be considered for a gaming channel, you've linked to a broadcast website's article about a TV channel, which is pretty much the same thing. Here are some more articles about the channel itself that I was able to find very easily: The Guardian, Digital Production Middle East, C21Media, Joystiq and Wall-Street. - Jasmeet_181 (talk) 12:30, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

• Keep. International channel that creates its own programs. Easily passes WP:BROADCAST. Sources found by Jasmeet can be used to help improve the article. Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:10, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
