Promotional article on a new TV channel on one satellite provider with no coverage beyond that. A redirect to DStv was reverted; I expect the result would be to restore that redirect rather than a pure deletion. I'm not entirely sure of the relationship between DStv and Media24, if there is a relationship it seems none of the references are independent.

Redirect to Media24 as network's owner. The WP:PROMO tone of this article is completely unacceptable as a copyvio of [1], and just redirecting to a carriage partner without context is highly discouraged as that provider can remove the channel just as fast and orphan the article. TapticInfo, just because a network is 'locally known' doesn't give it automatically global notability with press release sourcing. Nate • (chatter) 02:55, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
