- Keep:stub says it's a TV show on an Australian network, seems notable enough. Smerdis of Tlön 16:47, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I could not find any confirmation for "Television's Greatest Commercials" "tim ferguson" [1]. A program by that name existed, but was not produced in Australia [2]. I vote delete unless either: 1. the article is made about the NBC show, or 2. a proof of existence for this particular TV show is provided. - Liberatore(T) 17:20, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep but expand to include more about both the Australian and American shows. 23skidoo 20:21, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Response to Smerdis of Tlön it is not notable as an Australian Show is was cancelled long ago didn't last long and obviously not a valuable page. I mean the article about commandN which is extremely popular with the tech community was deleted for nothing and this obviously a deserving deletion article. If it isn't deleted and commandN keeps deleted wikipedia and its editors have lost alot of my respect. Mike 22:08, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, clearly POV. User:Zoe|(talk) 00:00, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep if it's a notable show. The show may be POV but the article really isn't. Crunch 00:19, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The Show existed theres no doubt of that, Australians know that however its not notable enough to be a wikipedia article really has no interest maybe on a list of Australian shows but not its own article especially seeing as how short it is. There could be a article written about the American version with a short part about the Australian version however the Australian version alone does not qualify for its own article.

- Comment: If the show actually existed, and was broadcast on a major Australian TV network, it seems hard to imagine that it was not notable enough to warrant an article, even if it did not last long. Minor Australian TV shows are not less notable than minor US ones, and we have articles on minor US shows like Battle of the Network Stars; see also WP:BIAS. I'm in no position to confirm that the show actually aired, other than the fact that it appeared to be confirmed by the Tim Ferguson article. Smerdis of Tlön 12:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Unless you know anything about this show and/or live in Australia now or during that perioud I dont think your fit to comment on "whether it existed" it did exist however is not notable as most people (australians) dont know about the show as it was on for such a short period a while ago.
