The Green Hope

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This topic about a Hong Kong television series appears to fail WP:N. After source searching, haven't found significant coverage in reliable sources. Google News archives has zero results other than this Wikipedia page. Posting this at AfD, rather than prodding the article, in hopes to avoid the potential for systemic bias on Wikipedia.

Comment. This is a known series in Hong Kong. It's very old, I'm pretty sure I still see posters of it sometimes at old video shops, but other than that I don't think there will be any internet references for it. Maybe in very old print gossip magazines. Dengero (talk) 01:23, 16 November 2012 (UTC)}[reply]
Keep: Not sure what the guidelines are for notability of TV shows, but this was a reasonably well-known show, still recognizable and "referable" as a pop culture artifact. Regarding systemic bias, I'm fairly sure that a US TV show with similar impact and audience would be covered (extensively) in En-wikipedia, for whatever that's worth. That said, not many reliable sources in English (search "The Green Hope TVB" and a number of blogs and the like appear, which speak to lingering interest, which suggests but does not prove notability). Obviously a lot more in Chinese, probably sufficient if anyone wants to do some digging. BTW, 2000 is "very old"? I feel ancient now...
