RTV Star[edit]

Procedural nomination. Serbian TV station. Prodded on the grounds that it is a hoax, but that assertion is not supported by a Google search. However, Google doesn't support this TV network's notability either, but this may be due to the fact my search string was in the Latin alphabet, not the Cyrillic one. Neutral.

Tentative delete, I could not find any sources but that does not really mean anything because I could not figure out what an appropriate name in Cyrillic would be, so that is pretty meaningless. I did find some few indicators of non-notability though: (1) the Serbian Wikipedia has no article on the station and as Serbia is a small country it would seem a notable television station would have an article by now (2) an older version of this article has links to the articles for each show on the station and when translated they often write about which stations they appeared on, and this station is never included, so it seems this station is minor enough that its not worth noting that a show was broadcast on it (3) the website for the station is pretty skeezy (has "/erotic games/" like "/Office Virginity Loss/" and "/Ana Slutty Wife/" on the front page) and while that hardly precludes notability it seems likely that a major channel would not have a website like that. jorgenev 09:21, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Comment: Could this station be related to RTV Pink?--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 04:01, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Possibly as an offshot, given that they give different inception dates in both articles, but before agreeing to a redirect I'd have to see evidence that they're indeed related. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 17:07, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. But after further looking I'm not sure there is any relation as "RTV" appears to be an abbreviation for 'radio-television' which seems to preface a number of serbian TV outlets, and apparently a number of serbian stations have played dubbed brazilian telenovelas. I'd love to know why that is!--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 18:21, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
