Delete. Every individual episode of a television documentary series is not automatically notable enough for its own standalone encyclopedia article just because it exists — the notability test requires properly sourced evidence of its significance, such as critical attention and/or significant award nominations. To be fair, this is listed in Draft:Yorkton Film Festival Golden Sheaf Award - Documentary — but even there, the source for it is the Yorkton festival's own self-published PDF, not media coverage about the Yorkton film festival, so that claim isn't enough to make a difference in the absence of better sourcing. Otherwise, I'm certainly able to find verification that this existed — but out of 29 hits in ProQuest, 14 of them are just straight repetitions of a single wire service article, thus combining into one usable source rather than 14, and most of what's left is just glancing namechecks of its existence in "on TV tonight" columns rather than substantive coverage that would help to establish the film's permanent notability. So I can't get this over WP:GNG, and since I haven't been able to find adequate sourcing to compile a complete episode list for Doc Zone the way I have for its successor series CBC Docs POV, I can't suggest redirecting this title to Doc Zone either.
