It is believed that this article was created to perpetrate a hoax, that a video game was in production for the TLC documentary. While the documentary itself is real, it isn't particularly notable. Dancter 06:46, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason:
- The Girl Who Turned to Stone
- Delete Non-notable & both aricles created by suspected sockpupet of Krabs502 [1]]. Also see past AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Girl Who Turned to Stone and the related Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Smallest People in the World (video game).--blue520 07:03, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Very weak delete Wooooah there, people! Yeah, that sockpuppet is an idiot, and the stuff he was making up was idiotic. But we should be judging this article as a one-sentence stub, and not as a false video game. I saw this doc twice, and it is not just real, but incredibly interesting. However, a quick Google test will show that not many people saw/cared about/talked about it, and it's not listed on IMDb, so I'm still voting delete. -- Kicking222 11:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment yeah, it's the notability. By a quick count Discovery Channel alone has 14 channels that show documentaries. Stubs for every non-notable program they show is not terribly useful. Articles about series are much better (List of programs broadcast by Discovery Channel), or if there is a particularly famous single program that would be different.

- Keep and expand Why not? It seems like several Wikipedians (including me) have seen it, so it's not like some obscure amatuer film. Zagalejo 00:53, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Well, it's not deleted yet. Maybe you can demonstrate the notability of the documentary before the vote is finalized. And don't forget about The Girl Who Turned to Stone. That's also part of the nomination. Dancter 00:58, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, well... I'm not really familiar with The Girl Who Turned to Stone, so I guess my vote only applies to The Smallest People in the World. I'll add whatever I can add to the latter, when I have some time. Zagalejo 01:17, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I added a little bit, although, admittedly, there's not much information available. We'll see what other people think. I still say we should keep it; maybe more information will surface eventually. Zagalejo 03:53, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
