YouTube TV Channel (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No sources, and subject to vandalism by users inserting random inappropriately named videos Ctjf83 ^talk 00:18, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Sources do exist, and vandalism is no grounds for article deletion unless the creation itself was an act of vandalism. --Blanchardb-^{MeMyEarsMyMouth}-timed 00:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • what are you talking about? how are google search results a valid reference Ctjf83 ^talk 00:39, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Look into them. Some of those are what the author should have mentioned in the article. --Blanchardb-^{MeMyEarsMyMouth}-timed 00:43, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
      • that's not my job, you say keep, link me to a valid reference Ctjf83 ^talk 00:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
        • I rest my case. --Blanchardb-^{MeMyEarsMyMouth}-timed 00:48, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
          • Then I move for a retrial. Provide a SPECIFIC reference, a reliable source, not a Google search.--WaltCip (talk) 17:09, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I don't see any reliable sources anywhere, which is rather telling for web content... Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 00:49, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Maybe merge to Youtube, and recreate if sources are found. Happy Holidays!! Malinaccier (talk) 01:09, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with YouTube. It seems to exist, but it doesn't warrant a separate article. J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 01:21, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I'm all up for a merge, if better sources can be found Ctjf83 ^talk 01:22, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Or any at all. Hey, look what I found! I think this is sufficient for a small section in the YouTube page. J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 01:25, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• weak keep or merge - Sources such as this: [1] seem to establish that Youtube is looking at making a TV channel. Keep in mind that this is a proposal and does not necessarily mean that it will happen. \ --Hdt83 ^Chat 01:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • what is this Guardian Unlimited, is it a reliable UK source? Ctjf83 ^talk 20:07, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
    • I looked up "Guardian Unlimited" in a popular online encyclopedia and found this link. It'd be good to see more effort from AFD contributors - David Gerard (talk) 16:02, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
      • Please AGF Ctjf83 ^talk 18:25, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to Youtube Like the previous editor put it, this info is only sufficient for a small section on Youtube, should not be a standalone article. Chris! _ct 07:24, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Irrelevant; no significance. When you keep it then merge with Youtube. --Fromgermany (talk) 07:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - article is unsourced and everything I've seen is either "we're thinking about it" or rumor/speculation. --B (talk) 08:59, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• merge Recieves a lot of vandal attention, can be merged with Youtube and then wikified and cleaned up . cf38^talk 09:26, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - current version has insufficient content to justify a separate article. Addhoc (talk) 22:50, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete If taken at face value, this is going to be one of the features on a digital TV service in Great Britain. Doesn't seem that significant. However, I like the gigantic picture of Speed Racer's dad, or whoever that is. Mandsford (talk) 23:31, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as non-sourced information and likely hoax. --Mhking (talk) 01:37, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: We have sources, which prove that it isn't a hoax. J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 04:32, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
    • The sources cited above mention a proposal for a YouTube channel; this article says that a YouTube channel will start in early 2008 in the UK. There is no source that indicates this will be the case. I reemphasize my suggestion that this is a hoax entry. --Mhking (talk) 19:57, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless reliable sources are provided that this is actually going to happen on January 8. Corvus cornix_talk 23:46, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete because I agree with all the other delete comments above. Tavix (talk) 23:51, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Though some mention could be made in the YouTube article if this TV channel is confirmed to exist. Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 05:07, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
