Not notable. Promotional. Declined CSD by IP. GregJackP Boomer! 13:13, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to VBS.tv, the website/online network which made it (unless there's another target among the articles about aspects of Vice). It's got some press, including praise from CNN[1], but nothing detailed and I can't find any in-depth reviews. It's not particularly promotional, and CSD seems inappropriate in view of the talent involved (anything involving David Cross and Johnny Knoxville would have some chance of being notable). --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:33, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Among the most referenced and highly trafficked sources of video on the internet about north korea and karachi. Significant news source on rare topic -165.132.180.167 (talk) 14:48, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep First of all, full disclosure, I am the original creator of this article. I understand Colapeninsula's point but agree with the anon user above. A few of these episodes, particularly the North Korea one, are extremely popular (millions of YouTube views). Additionally, episodes like the North Korea one and the Liberia one have stand-alone reviews from third party blogs and other news sites. Would adding a section with some info about these episodes that have legs of their own help strengthen the article above the threshold for deletion?

Merge/redirect—to VBS.tv. As the network (and this show) are defunct, there's little risk of this article getting bigger with huge episode lists. A redirect will still get people to the information they're looking for. The content is barely notable, with two good references. Livit⇑^Eh?/_What? 17:49, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge - I added some sources and info. I think if the episodes are listed in some sort of collapsing table, then merging to VBS.tv makes sense, though otherwise the list is convenient here Earflaps (talk) 18:30, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
