Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Seven Network slogans (2nd nomination)

- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was no consensus. I originally closed it as delete, but since Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Network Ten slogans closed as keep, I think it best to treat the set of articles consistently since they basically present the same issue.

Trivial fan-cruft. Not a single section is referenced, none of it is notable, none of it is verifiable, all of it original research. Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:55, 11 July 2010 (UTC) 23:55, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as Wikipedia is not a directory. Armbrust Talk Contribs 00:54, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- A lot of hard work has gone into this list of slogans. Please do not delete this article. Eddie Blake 14:17PM (AEST)

- Keep - I'm sure these are as notable as the American network slogans, but sources will be even harder to find because Australian reliable sources (especially older ones) do not have as much of a web presence as American sources. DHowell (talk) 06:10, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If you can find these sources, then source them....all of them. Otherwise, they aren't verfiable or reference and are a page of fan cruft made by a sockpuppet. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 06:19, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Reasons are popular culture, verifiable and factual. This type of content is what distinguishes Wikipedia.AWHS (talk) 11:57, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete It's about time a nomination was made for this. In the years this article has been up, not one source has been presented into the article itself and it is just an unsourced list that has expanded to both unsourced local slogans (which often were just pushed out by a station in twenty seconds by a cheap production music company to maintain a veneer of "network solidarity" and only aired in times where dead air, a PSA or a low-cost local ad would usually go and except for the lower-tier stations, never used outside of that) and a magnet for list vandals like User:Dingbat2007 who make lists like this regular targets of their "fun". I completely agree with this nomination; network affiliate lists and histories are notable because they're easily confirmed and sourceable; network slogans are much more tenuous and only of interest to mostly television historians, and like whatever branding Nickelodeon introduces for their afternoon block every six weeks, quickly forgotten beyond embarrassments like "Our pride is showing" and "We love TV" (Note: this rationale is being used for all of these nominations as if it was a block nomination).
