Speedy delete No indication of the significance of the subject, but doesn't fit CSD criteria. causa sui (talk) 23:07, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There's nothing worthwhile here. It fits G3 as a hoax, doesn't it? SilverCityChristmasIsland 00:00, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete G3 A1 deletion was denied, thus we have to go through the 7-day process of AfD. This article is to be plain, a mess, none of this is true at all (why would a broadcast network air reruns of a cable show for eight years?). Nate • (chatter) 01:02, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
G3. The speedy that was turned down was an A1; it doesn't fit that, but it plainly fits G3 as an obvious hoax. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 01:45, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Google search is turning up hits that fail to establish significance but consistent with the show being real. [1] Also listed at List of programs broadcast by Nickelodeon since 2005 [2]. causa sui (talk) 02:08, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well, what do you know? Google News in February 1998 shows this was actually a real short-run sketch show with guests like Coolio and Shaquille O'Neal. Maybe the items about it having a long run, repeating on the WB and whatever "Did-Villian" is was complete bunk, but it is an actual show that did air for a short time on the channel. Great job on digging up that hit. I'm wavering now towards a Weak Keep with sourced information or a redirect to the List of... article with a short synopsis as a short-run series. Now I shall go off and have a delicious New Era cap for a after-dinner treat... Nate • (chatter) 03:10, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete anyway since I've found nothing but "Nickelodeon debuts And Now This in 1998". No substantial coverage, just mentions that it debuted. Nothing in Google Books, and the only news mentions are as I already pointed out. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 06:00, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
