Bisaat (TV series)

This article as written does not satisfy television notability or general notability. The article says nothing about Reception of the show, and appears to be left over from before it first aired, so that it cannot be verified that the series has indeed started.

The only references all predate the scheduled start date of the show and are announcements that it is planned, so that there is no significant coverage of an actual series.

Number	Reference	Remarks	Independent	Significant	Reliable	Secondary
1	Dailytimes.com.pk	Announcement that actress will perform as lead	No	No	Yes	No
2	Bolnews.com	Announcement that actress will perform as lead	No	No	Yes	No
3	Images.Dawn.com	Announcement that actress and actor will perform as leads in series	No	No	Yes	No

It was already moved back to draft space once, and has then been moved back to article space, so that another draftification would be move-warring. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:22, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Robert McClenon: why do you say those sources are neither independent nor secondary? I agree they don't give significant coverage.VR _talk 02:07, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- User:Vice regent - They are neither independent nor secondary because they are simply announcements from the producer, just like press releases. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:32, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Robert McClenon: why do you say these are announcements from the producer? The dawn article seems to be authored by "IRFAN UL HAQ", Dawn's "celebrity correspondent". The bol news article seems to be authored by that organization's "web desk". The author of Daily Times article is not stated.VR _talk 02:59, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - User:Vice regent - Why? Because they are. Because that is the way celebrity journalism works. The signatures are those of the reporters who received the announcements and published them. When the producers and actors are providing information to news media, which they are, why should the journalists do any actual independent digging?

Delete As per nomination, which is well considered and very detailed, as usual for Robert. MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:56, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
