The result was keep. While independent sources have yet to be applied to the page, sources revealed during this discussion appear to pass the WP:IRS bar. No consensus for deletion, lots of good arguments to keep. (non-admin closure) BusterD (talk) 14:16, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete - A minor TV show. I can't find any mainstream references. Th article itself only has two - one from you tube and another which leads to a closed website. Dutyscenee (talk) 17:44, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Sources I've found in a quick search using google news include "The awful allure of phone-in TV", which directly deals with the show, this article in DigitalSpy dealing with a controversy following a bad set of answers on the show, and these two articles 1, 2 which mention it in passing. There's also several spin-offs with their own sources. Sven Manguard Wha? 18:09, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the show meets Wikipedia:TVSHOW#Programming, having screened nationally and having generated press coverage. The fact that it was a god-awful show and a blight on humanity generally is, sadly, not relevant. Colon el Tom 00:42, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes WP:TVSHOW. --Cavarrone (talk) 16:43, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as lacking independent sources. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:07, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It has just been announced the show set to return for the first time in two years in the near future. Quizmania was the pioneer for the phone-in TV genre and was the reason for the creation of ITV play. If people agree with the genre or not, the show was significant and the page absolutly should stay Error96 (talk) 17:04, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Quizmania is the most significant of the phone-in quiz shows, aired a huge number of hours of live TV on ITV1 and had spin-offs worldwide. The article meets Wikipedia:TVSHOW#Programming and the planned reboot makes it current again. The page should be flagged for clean-up on references but not deletion.

KEEP - Some of the newer Quizmania outings have even surpassed the old telly series. They have won a webby award and have been gearing up to release the most recent re-incarnation which is set to rock Facebook, getting rid now would be crazy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musicmaster1984 (talk • contribs)
Strong Keep - Show was significant enough in scale and press coverage to merit an article Phasetastic (talk) 09:46, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as meeting the associated notability guideline. Sven Manguard's sources seem good. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 02:05, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
