The result was keep. Sources have been confirmed to exist. TPH, I'm not going to tone police you, but this sub-conversation is not productive. You're welcome to add the sources yourself as well. StarMississippi02:15, 31 May 2022 (UTC)reply
Guess what, more press releases. The fact that the Associated Press will write about literally TV show if you throw enough money their way is not an indicator of notability. Ten Pound Hammer • (

They were written because the maker of the show told them to write X words gushing about how good the show is. That's still a primary source. Ten Pound Hammer • (

Additional sources on page 2 of google results:
[1],
[2],
[3],
[4]. This well exceeds the GNG. Also, for the record, a press release about the show does in fact exist, and it can be found here:
[5].

A. I added one to the article before posting them. B. You know very well that AfD is about demonstrating sources *exist*. This has done so.

I see the same cycle every time:
Article is nominated for deletion
Several people in AFD find sources
AFD closes as keep
No one ever adds sources to article; article is still an unsourced stub 15 years later
If you want to reform the entire AfD process, you are welcome to try to initiate that elsewhere, but this is not the appropriate place for that discussion. AfD is about demonstrating the subject of the article is notable. These sources easily do that.

perhaps the cycle could be broken within the policies and guidelines, respecting
WP:NEXIST, instead of trying to overrule consensus by deleting articles that are
WP:N. Deletion is not cleanup. There are many ways to improve articles, including various cleanup mechanisms and fixing it yourself. We are all wasting a lot of time and energy here. Deleting the crap is very important, but spending time nominating, defending, and arguing over articles that are notable for cleanup reasons is a huge negative to the project.
