No references are in this article that indicated the subject's notablity. I can't find any company exactly called "Japan Television Service", and the Japanese name provided is exactly Nippon TV's. Same goes for Kid's Japan Television, and its Japanese name provides no hint of existence. This might be a hoax. TheGGoose ( talk) 19:38, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

- Delete. In the absence of any references to verify even the existence of this organization, the article should be deleted as a suspected hoax. -- DAJF ( talk) 15:06, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- Delete unless it can actually be improved as my searches found nothing to suggest keeping this long-troubled article. A final look at the Japanese wiki show symmetrical information so, if this exists, it's not well known and probably a low-profile company by NTV. Some of the previous speedy taggers are not very active but the two most are Mjroots and DESiegel. SwisterTwister talk 16:14, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - article states it is available in UK. I've just been through the complete Sky listings and there is no trace of it, or its associated children's channel. Mjroots ( talk) 16:39, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment - In the Japanese article provided, the subject company NTV Service wouldn't match the one in AFD. The one in the Japanese article seems to be an NTV subsidiary that does business planning and develops merchandise. NTV Service is not said to be a broadcaster by its own. I also can't find evidence if Yatterman, Golden Warrior Gold Lightan, and Pokémon were aired by NTV or affiliates. TheGGoose ( talk) 22:13, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment The Yatterman remake was aired by NTV, I just found out. But still no evidence found that the JTS existed. TheGGoose ( talk) 14:12, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Only a few hours left on this AFD. I've declined the speedy as this AFD should more than address the issue of deletion. Mkdw talk 17:38, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. Appears to be a hoax. Virtually inconceivable that a network broadcasting in the UK (even in Japanese) would not generate numerous Google hits in the form of programming listings, advertisements, press releases and likely its own website to inform consumers of its content.
