The Essentials (TCM)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Independent reliable sources do not establish the notability of this series. What sources there are consist of routine casting announcements and little else. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 21:22, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Regular program about film on a channel which has few regular programs outside of continuous film airings. I'll try to find some sources but this certainly is a notable program among film lovers at the very least. Nate • (chatter) 08:49, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can you offer up the reliable sources that establish the notability of this program? Jerry Pepsi (talk) 17:29, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Even though it is a regular tv series, notability is not inherited and I've failed to gather sources. If the previous contributor fails to find reliable sources, I'm inclined for a 'deletion. Eduemoni ^↑talk↓ 12:57, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Borderline, but probably meets WP:GNG Squareanimal (talk) 10:59, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And the sources that establish that are...? Jerry Pepsi (talk) 16:40, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 02:19, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Turner Classic Movies#Regular features. As I recall, it's not really long enough to be called a program, more of an introduction (I could be wrong). Clarityfiend (talk) 03:07, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep if you count The Essentials and The Essentials Jr jointly, there's a few articles now cited. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:04, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as Colapeninsula says, sufficient sources especially if you include Hader's "Jr." series. I added some additional sources from a HighBeam search.--Arxiloxos (talk) 17:39, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And these sources are exactly the sort of casting announcements that I spoke of in the nomination. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 12:23, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They're more than announcements: they're articles discussing the host and show, what they're doing to be doing, etc, i.e. commentary and analysis. An announcement is a single sentence saying "X has signed to Y." --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:32, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
