WP:NN web content. Unable to find more than the sole citation (which is more of a gee-whiz) for in-depth coverage from WP:RS Toddst1 (talk) 01:11, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{Findsourcesnotice}} turns up only bloggy type stuff. See article talk page. Toddst1 (talk) 13:34, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Probably notable in Ireland. Just needs more citations Dvmedis (talk) 11:52, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: We don't keep articles or delete them on probability. It either is or is not notable. Toddst1 (talk) 01:07, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not hugely notable but sources "address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content" (e.g. local newspaper 1, local newspaper 2, reliable website, RTÉ, etc.) As well as that, as noted on the talk page, it gets quite a respectable number of hits per day. Sources are an issue, and should be dealt with separately. But, as far notability, it reaches the target, albeit just barely. --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 02:10, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Very well known in Ireland. Is also about to win the Storyland competition for RTE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.107.70.172 (talk) 18:22, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Depends what you mean by "well known". I'd say it's not at all well known in Ireland. Hence the only noteworthy coverage so far is the two articles in provincial newspapers referenced by rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid above. 86.44.22.183 (talk) 13:51, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete I haven't found the "significant coverage in reliable sources" which is prescribed by our notability guidelines. There are only ten hits on google news, none of them being about this program. So far this is just a collection of youtube videos and not an actual television program. The collection of youtube videos itself easily fails our notability guidelines. I also note that his myspace lists this very article as his website. Them From Space 02:17, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A small correction: about half of those ghits are abou the program. --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 15:47, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also: From the our notability guidelines: "'Significant coverage' means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content." "Significant coverage" does not mean "lots and lots" of coverage. --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 15:37, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This show is less than a year old and has had a surge in popularity as of late. It is the overwhelming favorite to win the Storyland competition. The most recent episode on youtube has over 30,000 hits in just over a week.Justin5150 (talk) 15:40, 2 August 2009 (UTC)Justin5150[reply]

Note: Popularity is not a criteria for inclusion on wikipedia - Notability is. Toddst1 (talk) 15:54, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
