The Ski Channel[edit]

Promo article for a proposed but not yet extant TV channel. Would appear to be non-notable except to the COI who inserted it into wikipedia Tagishsimon (talk) 00:07, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a service that is planned to launch in August 2008. Maybe article needs more cleanup after other users added on to this.Msw1002 (talk) 03:26, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Why wouldn't we keep this? It's referenced. Maybe it should have the Template:Future channel added, though. Launch dates do get postponed, so that isn't a reason to delete an article. If we delete this, we might as well delete OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network mentioned in the Discovery Health Channel article. There is no exact launch date for 2009 for OWN. However, I think both should stay. Rivertown (talk) 04:59, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep The sources aren't primary sources, and seem reliable enough, so I don't think WP:CRYSTAL is being violated here. I'm tempted to just give it the benefit of the doubt, as I'm sure more sources will crop up once the network is closer to launching.

I'm happy to see a snowball close at this point, as keep. I think I was a bit pissed off last night that Steve Bellamy, or associates, seem to think that spamming wikipedia is a good thing. The article has been pruned today and is not quite as obnoxious as yesterday's version. --Tagishsimon (talk) 15:03, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I cleaned up the garbage that was added after I created this page about a year ago. It was over linked with articles that don't exist on Wiki too. I think there is still some room for improvement, but looks better than it was before yesterday. Hopefully, the spam garbage doesn't come back, unless the article is deleted beforehand.Msw1002 (talk) 16:38, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
