High School Quiz Show airs on a major station in a major metropolitan area and was renewed for a second season. The show was discussed by numerous news sources such as boston.com, the Boston Globe, and the Boston Herald.

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

Weak keep Those mentions on Boston.com are, to my mind, just barely sufficient to get it over the notability threshold. bobrayner (talk) 02:34, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Although WGBH produces a lot of programs that are seen nationwide on PBS, this isn't one of them. Nor is this show at all unique-- high school quiz shows are a Sunday morning staple in most television markets, with each school sending four or five students who wear formal clothing and buzz in as questions are posed to them. I acknowledge that we have an entire Category:Student quiz television series, and maybe some of those need to be reviewed. In that this one bestows a "state championship", then I think it qualifies as notable in the same sense that an annual state basketball tournament would be. Maybe the title needs to be moved to something that reflects what state is in. I'll start spelling, "M-A-S-S..." waiting for the kid with the bow tie and glasses to buzz in...

Delete local tv shows about local students that do not attract attention outside the immediate area are not notable, and this is no exception. As an example that is an exception because it has more than local notice, see It's Academic DGG ( talk ) 00:16, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
