Dude, What Would Happen

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I was unable to find reliable sources which provide significant coverage for this show. The sources I could find just provide trivial coverage of it in a list of other shows. Although it is returning, the subject does not appear notable per the WP:GNG. Although I am not nominating the article with this one, I did WP:PROD a similar article, Bobb'e Says, and feel I should mention it here in case someone wishes to contest it.

Weak keep TV shows are generally considered notable if they made it past a couple episodes. This one lasted two seasons, but there aren't too many sources on it. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 03:01, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per TPH and WP:OUTCOMES we generally keep such show articles, but I wouldn't object to merging this into a list of similar shows. Jclemens (talk) 06:41, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- To both of the above users, you mention that they are "generally considered notable" and "we generally keep such show articles". I would ask that you consider this specific case. I have not found multiple reliable sources providing significant coverage for this show. If you have, please share them. If you have not, I ask that you examine the subject of the article more carefully as single example rather than in general. --Odie5533 (talk) 10:20, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I did. I found only a couple of sources, but I still think they're enough to give this one a pass. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 19:00, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Television shows are part of mass popular culture and the public consciousness. This particular page is well-done to boot. Carrite (talk) 17:59, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per arguments above AND per coverage in Animation Magazine, Christian Science Monitor, Atalanta Journal-Constitution, Hollywood Reporter, USA Today, Birmingham News, Bloomberg, Deseret News, Futon Critic, TV by the Numbers, Columbus Dispatch, Washington Post, and more... with a gentle suggestion toward a slightly more thorough WP:BEFORE, and attention to WP:IMPROVE, WP:IMPERFECT, and WP:ATD before a nomination is made.
