- What would be the criteria for establishing notability be here? This is a television program produced by NDTV, a large Indian production company. Similar programs on American and British television are apparently considered notable and have articles. The program is listed as a nominee for an award at http://www.ntawards.tv/nominees.htm, if that matters. Theshibboleth (talk) 21:11, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No sourcing to demonstrate verifiability, and notability is suspect. Not opposed to changing my !vote in light of new evidence. -FrankTobia (talk) 00:18, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Oddly, I can't find a notability guideline relevant specifically to non-fictional television shows, but it seems perhaps that Wikipedia:Notability (films) may be the closest thing. As far as I can see, it doesn't come close to qualifying. For one thing, the award mentioned above doesn't satisfy "The film has received a major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking." Firstly, it didn't actually receive that reward. Secondly, I doubt that the NT award could be classified as "major". A criteria it comes vaguely close to satisfying "The film was successfully distributed domestically in a country that is not a major film producing country, and was produced by that country's equivalent of a 'major film studio.' Articles on such a film should assert that the film in question was notable for something more than merely having been produced, and if any document can be found to support this, in any language, it should be cited." - the one criterion it doesn't meet here is that India is most definitely a major film producer. According to the article on India itself, "The Indian film industry is the largest in the world." Nousernamesleft (talk) 22:34, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
