Comment - I don't have time to review the hits or pick a side on this, but I can say that it does appear notable. It appears in quite a few (what look to be, I could be wrong. As said above, no time to review them) legitimate hits. Leonard^(Bloom) 04:03, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All I see are forums and trivial mentions. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 04:12, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

:Delete Per Wikipedia:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_dictionary. All references on a google search look trivial. The concept itself should already be covered on the HDTV article. Drunken Pirate (talk) 04:51, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or redirect - Very notable concept, although I haven't heard it described with this term. If it's already discussed somewhere, redirect. If it isn't, merge it somewhere. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 05:49, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with ~~TNT (TV network)~~Turner Network Television article since it's been associated with that network in a January 2007 TV Week article. Also right now the term "Stretch-O-Vision" receives about 9,300 Google hits but most of them aren't reliable sources. Thus there's not too much to write about SOV at this moment of time.--Andrewlp1991 (talk) 06:00, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I take it you meant Turner Network Television? Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 06:56, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it just now. --Andrewlp1991 (talk) 06:40, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It if it's merged into TNT HD only people who go to that page will have access to it. if it has it's own page anyone who clicks the link Will have access to it. I created it, because there were pages that had red links to it. that usually means to me that someone wants it created it's already a stub, and I doubt to many people will edit it. It will just be there in case someone doesn't understand the concept. Joeloliv8 07:08, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I added Andrewlp1991's reference showing it's not just a made-up term since it has been used by a reliable source. I guess we could keep this then unless it can be redirected to an article that already has this content or has a more accurate name. But for now the article is starting to look good Drunken Pirate (talk) 07:21, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, we may wanna merge this into video scaler one day, but that article is a mess. I have fleshed out the article a bit, with more information, and comments that this isn't a TNT-exclusive problem. ViperSnake151 19:31, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
