Weak Keep - I'm not familiar with Venezualan television. This book would seem to indicate the show wasn't very successful, but it did get a sequel. [1], and [2] are two examples of where the show is mentioned. Seeing as it is a 1980 show in a non-English country, sourcing may be hard to come by on line. -- Whpq (talk) 16:13, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I have to agree with Whpq.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:33, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:JUSTAVOTE. Could you please explain why you agree? Your recent pattern of voting keep is usually keep per someone else with zero explanation. LibStar (talk) 16:28, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:GNG. 8 gnews hits [3] however many of these hits are program listings rather than indepth coverage. LibStar (talk) 16:33, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you have to format your link correctly.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:41, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed the link. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:29, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I also did some additional research and I am now even more firm with my Keep because the actors in it are very notable and "famous" in venezuela. Also 8 gneews hits are still 8 gnews hits. Which in any case establish minimum notability needed for Weak keep.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:57, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just because a sitcom isnt American doesnt make it non-notable. Neither the fact that its from way back in the 80s.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:00, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What makes you think that any sources published in Venezuela, which we would expect to constitute the majority of potential sources for this subject, would contain the word "Venezuela"? When searching for sources about American topics do you expect them to contain "United States"? Phil Bridger (talk) 18:30, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment makes no sense to me?. I truly dont understand what you mean. sorry.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:46, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My comment was in reply to Libstar, as I thought was clear from the indentation. Libstar's search included the word "Venezuela", which there is no reason to expect to appear in any sources for this subject, so can't be taken as evidence against notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:15, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I apologize for the misunderstanding. And I do agree with you. It seems a bit odd. That cant be taken as evidence against notability, true.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:52, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Phil when you search google news with Federrico alone it turns up a lot of people with the name Federrico. It would not be necessary for a US show to add united states but I had to target the google news search. Secondly BabbaQ fails to understand that passing mentions or program listings do not qualify as in depth coverage. Lastly, I never said a show being from venezuela or from the 1980s makes it less notable. That is putting words into my mouth. My !vote stands. LibStar (talk) 01:57, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What a shocker..--BabbaQ (talk) 01:59, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
