List of Network Ten slogans[edit]

Trivial fan-cruft. Not a single section is referenced, none of it is notable, none of it is verifiable, all of it original research. Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:55, 11 July 2010 (UTC) 23:55, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as Wikipedia is not a directory. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 00:54, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. For a number of reasons.To a degree this is WP:POPCULTURE. This type of content is what distinguishes Wikipedia from more traditional encyclopedias and there is general consensus (I believe) to encourage this type of content. The slogans are verifiable and factual - and of genuine interest. Look at the Internet archive for the ten network. Finding refs and citations for these slogans is going to take work but that can be fixed. Some good and verifiable / independent sources even mention controversy [1] so therefore I believe that this is WP:NOTABLE. The same comment applies to the List of Nine Network slogans which is also up for WP:AfD. AWHS (talk) 12:08, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The main problem with this article is, that it is just a simple list of slogens and there's no other meaningful content. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 14:24, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Popular Culture states that "Popular culture is often viewed as being trivial"... AWHS (talk) 10:41, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I'm sure these are as notable as the American network slogans, but sources will be even harder to find because Australian reliable sources (especially older ones) do not have as much of a web presence as American sources. DHowell (talk) 06:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If you can find these sources, then source them....all of them. Otherwise, they aren't verfiable or reference and are a page of fan cruft made by a sockpuppet. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 06:18, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I picked one entry at random and checked it, the "Keep Your Eye On The 0" and had no difficulty verifying it at [2], so I will add a "Cite web". WP:AFD states that "When nominating due to sourcing or notability concerns, make a good-faith attempt to confirm that such sources don't exist.". Clearly this article is lacking refs but WP:SOFIXIT please instead of nominating for AfD. AWHS (talk) 09:46, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you can find sources, by all means source it. Doesn't make trival slogans notable though. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 09:24, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also added a citation for the current tagline, these are not hard to find. This article can easily be fixed with appropriate refs. AWHS (talk) 09:43, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am hearing alot of "there are references", but not seeing any (but ~~a select few~~ one) being added. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 09:46, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Deleting these would seem like a cliched example of systemic bias. --ErgoSum•talk•trib 10:42, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
