Article about a YouTube documentary series, not reliably sourced as the subject of any significant media coverage for the purposes of clearing our notability standards for web content. The only reference cited here is a blog entry which is not about The Arrivals at all, but just briefly namechecks its existence in an article about the Netflix series Messiah -- but the notability test is not getting mentioned in coverage of other things, it is being the subject of a sufficient volume of coverage about the topic itself to clear WP:GNG. And while I have been able to find technical verification of the fact that The Arrivals exists, I literally can't find anything that would count as a reliable or notability-supporting source about it.

Delete, no indication of notability, and fails WP:GNG. My speedy delete request ("Speedy delete. A7 applies because this "documentary film" is web content only") was declined by user:Espresso Addict ("Declining A7; fundamentally television not web content, despite Netflix distribution, so A7 inapplicable IMO").

Comment. I may have misread this one; if this is definitely Youtube only then I'm happy to speedy delete under A7. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:16, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, I was incredibly confused by the fact that the sole source was about a Netflix series too, until I sorted out that Messiah and The Arrivals were two different things and not just alternate names for the same thing. Bearcat (talk) 21:56, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
