Badlanders (TV series)[edit]

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

As per WP:TVSHOW: "...a television series is not eligible for an article until its scheduling as an ongoing series has been formally confirmed by a television network." The subject of this article makes no mention of an airing network, let alone a premiere date! In other words, this series may actually be in pre-production, and thus does not qualify for an article. In addition, the lone "sourcing" used for this article is a sparse (and relatively new) IMDb entry – no other sourcing, to verify the notability of this series, is used. Finally, created by an editor that may have a WP:COI. Needs deleting. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:54, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. "Badlands" appears to be a skateboard venue in Upland, California and a brand of skateboard and more, if you search search Google, including a 1999 Juice Magazine article. There seems to be a real phenomenon to be covered, and I think there should be a Wikipedia article about it, but I don't find it yet. Let's find or create that article now. Then the AFD can be concluded by mentioning the proposed-or-whatever TV series about it, and redirecting to the article about the phenom itself. I'm willing to create the article myself, will browse for more info. --do ncr am 21:41, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No reliable sourcing. Laced with unsourced claims regarding living persons. Borders on the speedy-able, since there is really no evidence that this is anything beyond planned web content. At best, this fails TOOSOON, with no information when or where this might be broadcast, who the performers are, and what stage of production this is in. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006. (talk) 16:22, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
