Fails WP:NTV due to no credible claim of significance - in fact, all sources are unreliable (IDMb and 2 sites affiliated with people who worked on the show). WP:BEFORE failed to bring up anything of note. Kirbanzo (talk) 18:20, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Really weak redirect to List of programs broadcast by BET#Talk shows It was a press junket show where the 'hosts' likely introduced or did softball interviews with celebrities in a hotel room as #45 in the day for Halle Berry to talk to about 'what she sees in herself' regarding Father Hood. Very unlikely this was ever a prime BET series (the turnover alone shows that not even the hosts consider it a prime moment in their careers). Nate • (chatter) 19:31, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I find it odd that this is another article that has been recommended for deletion from Wikipedia. Your opinion of the show being "softball" doesn't really bear weight on the significance of it's entry. I could say the same about "Entertainment Tonight" or "Inside Edition". There are plenty of MTV shows that have entries which are still on this site after years of being published. Here are a few for example: "We're Dancin'", "Squirt TV", "Amp" (which has two vague references), I could go on for days! The fact that entries on BET shows/hosts are being removed from this site while MTV articles, which far outnumber the BET articles, are not implies a sense of prejudice that is active on this site which reflects the real world. Yes, I know this site should not be the original record of information, so let's flush out the site to remove all of the other "obscure" cable shows, please.

- Comment The nomination instructions for WP:AFD are on the page, and I'd frankly support any nomination of any of MTV's shows with little longterm notability; please feel free to do so. My vote! here with this show is solely based on the lack of sources and the fact it had a completely generic format without anything unique popping out (if you go through my AFD history I've always taken a dim view on shows of this type with canned interviews and trailer footage, no matter the genre or viewer demographics). Frankly I'd love to see more BET shows get articles, but the network, like it or not, has had its quieter shows get barely any kind of notice from the press while overheated segments of ComicView and BET Uncut sucked up any oxygen those shows would have gotten otherwise, and if a show doesn't have many press or scholarly sources, it usually isn't retaining an article here, I'm afraid.

Redirect to List of programs broadcast by BET#News series, where the program is currently listed. There's really nothing in the stub to merge. Ifnord (talk) 07:27, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
