Gloves Off[edit]

This is a non-notable show on a STUDENT television channel of the University of Salford, a very minor British university in a suburb of Manchester. It is not available outside of the immediate area and viewership is extremely small. It is most emphatically not a nationally syndicated show. The show is produced by media students from the university (From its own website- "Produced by journalism and production students at the International Media Centre, Salford University, Gloves Off is...".

Delete. I am somewhat put off by the nominator's claim of "extreme prejudice" (AfD should be about rationale arguments, not prejudice), but I agree that this show doesn't seem to be notable enough for an encyclopaedia page. Being a student show doesn't necessarily mean that a show is automatically not notable, but in this case there doesn't seem to be anything particularly special or unique about the show. It's already listed on the page about the TV station, and I think that's sufficient. A separate page is not justified. Dorange 10:16, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That was a joke of a form often seen in AfD discussions. By the same token, I am somewhat annoyed that the credibility of our encyclopaedia is being ruined by the inclusion of this kind of self-serving, vanity crap. The only prejudice that I have is towards WP:N and the other policies, guidelines and ethos of Wikipedia. Hopefully all users regulate their AfD !votes according to those criteria, although sadly I doubt if that is the case sometimes. Badgerpatrol 10:39, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Does not meaningfully assert notbility. It may be "an invaluable tool, but don't see how it could be notable. Ohconfucius 15:46, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
