These were tagged for speedy deletion as G3 obvious hoax. But they've been there for days, and I don't think it's sufficiently obvious as hoaxes for CSD. Though I do think there are reasons to suspect they might be - I've found some Google hits that might support them as genuine, but really not much at all. It's not clear enough for a G3 delete, but I don't want to just let them go as genuine - so I thought bringing them to a wider AfD audience might be best. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:16, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Yesterday, I searched extensively and found nothing relevant or significant to a Malaysian TV5 but rather for the Filipino TV5. This is an interesting case and I believe reliable sources may not be English, but, TV stations rarely receive significant attention especially about their history. I found a news article here that mentions a TV5 owned by Media Prima Berhad (unreferenced article) but when I search for a Wikipedia article, I'm taken to DWET-TV (also unreferenced), with only a TV station link. The TV station's website looks legitimate so I doubt this is a hoax. SwisterTwister talk 20:59, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I didn't see any sources for this, possibly a hoax. — иz нίpнόp 09:33, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If there aren't to sources to prove it's not a hoax, then we don't even have to decide whether it's a hoax, because it fails WP:GNG. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:36, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all above. While normally television stations would be notable, we first need to prove that it exist through reliable sources. But in this case, there aren't any. There is a Filipino TV5 which is partially owned by Malaysians, but no Malaysian TV5 in Malaysia. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:03, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does not meet GNG, plus several other concerns. — ΛΧΣ21™ 00:10, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
