It was a TV sitcom in Italy. It was never broadcasted in UK or other nations. I think this English version can be deleted. No more DATA or informations about this TV sitcom can be provided because the URL http://www.piloti.rai.it expired many years ago. --SimonBaraldi24 (talk) 23:33, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. it:Piloti (serie televisiva) includes information about the series, including this archived version of the RAI page (requires some plug-in). Their information enabled me to find this current RAI page and also usable references in third-party publications that support details like the unusual format (5-minute episodes, broadcast five days a week, three each evening), actors and characters, and starting dates for at least two seasons: [1], [2], [3]. I have no time to improve the article today but I'd say GNG is met, and there's probably more to be found by searching on the actors' and writers'/producers'/directors' names. The first part of the nominator's rationale—that it does not appear to have been shown on English-speaking media—is irrelevant to notability, and I've demonstrated that the second—that the original web page for the series is dead—is not an impediment to writing it up.

Keep as per the sources passing WP:GNG indicated by Yngvadottir I found additional in-depth coverage. [4][5] "It was never broadcasted in UK or other nations" is not a reason for AfD. If something is notable in Italy or any nation, it's notable. A television series on a national American or British network would never even be considered for AfD. Might this be a case of systemic bias? --Oakshade (talk) 01:17, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep This isn't the English Wikipedia, it's the English-language Wikipedia. We have plenty of articles on en.wiki about shows that never aired in an English-language market, nor were translated into English. And we have articles about foreign-language networks. "It's Italian" isn't a deletion reason. It's a show that aired on a national network and had significant local coverage. That's enough for a keep for me.

Keep the nominator is an obvious sock of globally banned SimoBarIT who had previously prodded the page.
Keep. Valid article with refs. jonnycraig888 (talk) 22:05, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
