Keep It is not just Stargate that deserves our support. These start-ups also deserve a wikipedia entry. --Clausewitz01 10:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC) . Edited to add from the Wikipedia policy on this subject: Before nominating an article for AFD, please:

1. first invite discussion on the talk page if you are at all unsure as to the article's worth. Just because you haven't heard of it, doesn't mean it's not notable! [1]

The nominator did not take this step. --Clausewitz01 03:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Keep NX Files is an independently produced show out of Orleans, ON Canada. Since the release of it's first episode in November of 2005, it has been viewed in over 54 countries AND has released a Season 1 DVD which has been distributed in many countries including Canada, USA, Norway and Denmark. That being said, this show definitely deserves a wikipedia entry. --Sensei Krush 15:08, 4 February 2007 (UTC) .

Keep I saw a legit article in the Ottawa citizen and a short on CTV News, how is this a non-notable?? some people have nothing better to do but to try and stomp out the start-ups.--User:Chikote 15:34, 4 February 2007 (UTC) . — Chikote (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep The article for NX Files is based on its official website, which should certainly be considered a reliable source. It was largely written by one of the four creaters of NX Files itself, who can obviously be considered an expert on the subject in question, so it is again safe to assert that the content is reliable. The show itself has received attention from the media as well as many different nationalities and the creators' attitude is always very professionnal. NX Files certainly deserves its own Wikipedia article. --User:sun_03 15:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC) . — sun_03 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep I have worked on the project myself and know a great amount of people who watch it religiously. --User:Samuel Tetreault 15:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC) . — Samuel Tetreault (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

keep The NxFiles are internationally viewed in over 50 countries, has it's own websitewww.nxfiles.com and more importantly is an interactive/participatory medium related to martial arts that kids and adults in Ottawa/Orleans, Ontario can be part of. NX Martial Arts is a jiu-jitsu and kick boxing dojo where most the actors from the community train on a weekly basis. They actually released a DVD of their entire first season this past December 2006. I think this kind of project popularizes martial arts as a whole and a web-based show like this one demonstrates an alternative to martial art training when comparing to Ultimate Fighting Championship /UFC. I believe this is beneficial from a parents’ perspective to promote martial arts and the positive influence of the discipline on children. Taking this entry away would only impinge on the greater good of not only the martial art sub-culture, but the community as a whole.

Delete I see 272 hits on Google ([2]), and two sources that aren't to the subject's web site. The fact that one of the sources is a photograph taken of a French newspaper article lowers the notability somewhat; has anyone read WP:RS? Shadow1 (talk) 13:16, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Judging from a comparison of the usernames of those discussing this AFD and the cast of the show, I would say that virtually all of the above users are members of the show. Any members of the show that wish to discuss this AFD should read Wikipedia's sockpuppet policy. Shadow1 (talk) 13:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Keep What?? I'm sorry, anyone who reads a french newspaper lowers notability?? Well aren't we a little prejudice. I think that comment completely shatters your credibility Shadow1.

Prejudiced? I think it's an unreliable source because it's not in English, not because it's a French newspaper. Let's stop the name-calling here and stay on topic. More importantly, read my warning to sock puppets above. Shadow1 (talk) 16:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Why does it make it unreliable? Language has nothing to do with this debate. A very respectable French Canadian newspaper interviewed the creators of the show and wrote a very nice article about them. If this is not notable, then what is? Furthermore, the posts here are not sockpupetting, they are fans and students of the show and the dojo who are showing their support.
