Hometown High-Q[edit]

DELETE Completely Non-Noteable high school local quiz show. Broadcast on a nn local network. Obscure topic of little interest to anyone. Unencyclopedic. pm_shef 20:06, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Forgot to mention, WP:PROD was contested.

keep seems notable enough, and definitely encyclopedic. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 21:09, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. High school quiz show broadcast on CBS affiliate. Serious article, nice presentation. Obvious keep and let's hope the winners contribute here. -- JJay 21:14, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notable show broadcast on a notable local network (KDKA-TV). — TheKMan^talk 21:54, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Somewhat notable. -- Arnzy (Talk) 23:00, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. Encyclopedic and complete article. And why eliminate this when we have articles on It's Academic, etc?
Keep. Clear and concisely written. Airs on a major TV channel in a large city. Tombride 01:10, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep notable. Nigelthefish 18:58, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to KDKA-TV. Why have an article on every show by every local TV station? Should we have aricles on "channel 5 news at 11?" Re. It's Academic: a show that has continuously run for 45 years might be a bit more notable. --Karnesky 16:27, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I see your point here, but this show is unique to this station. 11 o'clock news is not. The comparison isn't really appropiate. Anyways, since you mentioned it, there is a wiki for 11 o'clock news.Tombride 17:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My point is that there's no aricle on things like KDKA-TV's 11 o'clock news (which WOULD be a unique to the same station). Many individual programs on individual local stations aren't independently notable. An article on the "genre" or phenomena of shows of a given type might be valuable or the page on the station might include some examples of content. In this context, I think the 11 o'clock news article is good in that it is general. Perhaps an article on local quiz shows? --Karnesky 18:24, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
