Unsourced article about a television series not shown to pass WP:TVSHOW criteria. As always, television shows are not "inherently" notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia just because they exist(ed) -- the notability test is the reception of a WP:GNG-worthy volume and depth of third-party reliable source coverage and analysis in third-party sources independent of themselves. But even on a ProQuest search for at-the-time coverage, all I can find is a couple of very short blurbs confirming that this existed, not adding up to anything like enough coverage to get this over WP:GNG. (For added bonus, this was a conflict of interest violation all along, per the creator's username.) Bearcat (talk) 17:05, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Delete Sounds like Bearcat at last found some sort of sourcing, I can't get any hits on this "thing". Some literary festivals, nothing for a TV program. Oaktree b (talk) 20:03, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, I got a lot of festivals too. I should clarify that I added "Bravo" to the search string to cut the noise and boost the signal, which got me the couple of blurbs. Bearcat (talk) 19:04, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Delete The program sounds interesting, but the dearth of reliable coverage shows a lack of notability beyond, perhaps, a local level, or, at most, a regional one. TH1980 (talk) 00:01, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
