The subject of this article may well be notable but it is largely incomprehensible owing to very poor English. I understand AfD is not for cleanup but I think we’re in TNT territory with this article. Mccapra (talk) 20:39, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Yes, AfD is not cleanup… except for when it is. Suffice it so say, any article that repeatedly refers to "our" and "we" does not bode well even when they are coherent. (Is that history section about a satellite TV channel or a website?) WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 00:26, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I'd like to remind participants that we are not here to discuss the quality of the contents of the article, but the notability of its topic. The ever-popular WP:TNT essay is not a policy-supported reason for deletion.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Owen× ☎ 21:58, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There is a news story by the BBC, from 2014, about the media outlets of the region, but there is no mention of this particular TV station, unless it had a different name before. Hopefully someone familiar with the region can clarify. If we can't find any coverage, I would recommend a redirect to the article of the party that owns the station: the PUK.

TheJoyfulTentmaker, please provide a link to the suggested target article if this article is Redirected. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:31, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, here are two redirect candidates, in order of preference:
- Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (recommended, as the TV station appears to be a subsidiary of this party)
- Television in Iraq

Delete: per above. Little to no independent coverage. The creator of the article is an SPA, who has only shown interest in editing this article, which raises the question of WP:PROMO. Aintabli (talk) 17:56, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
