The result was redirect to RTÉ2#Teenage television. Consensus is that the article does not meet the notability guideline, but a redirect is reasonable. Davewild (talk) 08:57, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Two Tube[edit]

No evidence of notability. Absence of any coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject, never mind significant coverage. Most of the people named aren't even notable (one redirects to a pop group which doesn't mention it, another to a failed election candidate). Greykit (talk) 02:14, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to RTÉ2, of which this show does not seem to be independently notable. Most coverage in reliable sources I could find is about the hosts and so does not count toward notability that much. Everymorning talk 03:06, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect This is a notable show on RTE2 and it is popular also. The article itself however is poor and lacks sources. I would suggest it be given a section on the RTÉ2 page and that the page Two Tube be made a redirect. However I would include as a proviso that before this page becomes a redirect a new section must be created on the page RTÉ2. Currently the Rte page only links to this article and so making it a redirect would be essentially sending people around in a circle. This subject must have its own section to redirect to.

It is mentioned there under the heading "Teenage television" so the link could be removed. That it is notable is not clear, hence the AfD. That it is popular is of no significance either. Notability on Wikipedia. "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity... if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article." --Greykit (talk) 20:57, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. I can't see how the "Teenage television" section can be expanded without violating the policy WP:UNDUE (the same sentence mentions 5 other shows so the current weight given is just about right). Regarding notability, there are no reliable sources - either there or in the subject article. --Inother (talk) 19:40, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
