Latma TV

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

Claim to notability is tenuous. Page cites one news article which is barely a passing mention (only the first three sentences of the article are about this video, and they don't say much more than "this video was released", and don't say much about the troupe itself; the rest of the article is unrelated news); I only found one other possibly reliable source, and it is also a passion mention that doesn't seem to pass the one-event guidelines. rʨanaɢ (talk) 15:42, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article now has a great many citations.Broad Wall (talk) 20:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep—plenty of sources cited in the article, so I don't see merit in the nominator's argument. While the sources are mostly reacting to the latest video, they all provide background on the initiative behind the video, namely Latma. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 23:19, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Just FYI, this is how the article looked when I nominated it with my meritless argument. The creator has since added more sources; I haven't decided yet if it changes my opinion about the article or not. rʨanaɢ (talk) 23:45, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I do believe that the article We Con the World should be merged with this one. But let's leave the verdict on that for after this AfD. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 23:54, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - well known in its circles before We Con the World and now known worldwide. Happy138 (talk) 08:51, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How can you delete this entry when the video is making major rounds on the Internet? There are many wikipedia entries much more worthy of deletion than this. Stand up to the plate, Wikipedia. You can do it. We know you hate doing it, but the whole world is not about the Left and what the Left would like everyone to believe. Man up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.221.66 (talk) 18:46, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Latma is basically the main attempt by the Israeli "right" to get some sort of satirical voice, given the monopoly the "left" has over the TV here. This has been covered in the weekly B'sheva (Arutz Sheva's newspaper) more than once recently.Mzk1 (talk) 19:45, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Nominator's rationale for deletion was based on premises that are no longer true, and no other argument for deletion has been provided. Jalapenos do exist (talk) 21:35, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but merge We Con the World into this article - I don't believe it's independently notable, or that we need articles on both. Robofish (talk) 13:56, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, as it is a popular TV show in its country. We should apply the same standard to all countries, not just the USA.--RM (Be my friend) 15:27, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, this could easily be seen as ONEEVENT and I understand that Afd, but the group was active long before. --Shuki (talk) 22:43, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
