Deprodded with "obviously notable" but I couldn't find any sources. Nothing useful on Newspapers.com, ProQuest, or Google Books. The show was never aired, and doesn't appear to have even been finished. Current sources in article are not reliable. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:20, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Television-related deletion discussions. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:20, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a TV show for which only the pilot was made. There is no justification for a full article on this subject.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:59, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Added a couple of refs, WP:V is certainly met, I do not know if we are at WP:N yet but it seems reachable. Google Books search turned up results in a couple of books [1][2] which I'll have to do some confirmation on but look very promising. Artw (talk) 16:18, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Everything I've found on GBooks appears to be a mere directory listing. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:15, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I would disagree. Also "Nothing on Newspapers.com, ProQuest, or Google Books." is not the same as "mere directory listing" even if that was the case. Artw (talk) 17:33, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I left out a word. Nothing significant found. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:42, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Have confirmed that there is an entire dedicated chapter in Superman on Film, Television, Radio and Broadway. Artw (talk) 22:59, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep nomination in bad faith. Artw (talk) 17:33, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Where is the bad faith? I pointed out that the current sources in the article are not reliable, and that I was unable to find any better sources. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:39, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You ruled out a potential avenue for finding sources without apparently exploring it. Possibly accidental but your response is telling not, you just don’t care. Artw (talk) 17:43, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"Nothing useful on Newspapers.com, ProQuest, or Google Books." Which avenue did I leave out? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:45, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
YChanged the wording to cover up after yourself does not make it any better. And it's probably still not true. Artw (talk) 18:19, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Because no one in the history of Wikipedia has ever left out a word when typing before, right? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 19:14, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see we are now at “deleting random chunks of the article.” Artw (talk) 19:53, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Half of the paragraph was sourced to IMDb, which is not a reliable source. The other half was not sourced at all. Per WP:V: Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 19:57, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Removing material that could be verified and contribute to notability during an AfD is pretty underhanded. The material was not in any way contentious or hyperbolic. I have restored it with "citation needed" flags. Argento Surfer (talk) 11:33, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see a point in keeping unsourced information around. WP:V says that you can remove unsourced info. I don't see how it's "underhanded". Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 14:17, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to problems with the AfD have added new sources which should be sufficient. Artw (talk) 23:15, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per this, this, and this. Argento Surfer (talk) 17:59, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not convniced "Warped Factor" is a reliable source, as the writers are credited only by first name and there's no editor credit. The two book sources are very tangential mentions; hell, the first one isn't even a full sentence. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 18:11, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
