- Comment: Many of the sources are not reliable (Amazon, The Pit, Rebel Noise, etc.) and/or are only brief mentions or interviews which are not independent. Generally, shows meet the notability criteria with in-depth reviews by multiple reputable publications which does not appear to exist for this show. S0091 (talk) 17:51, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Many of the points at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fundamentally Cynical still apply. I don’t see how the show is notable; submission needs improvement. Eternal Shadow Talk 15:25, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: This doesn't establish how the show is notable - keep in mind that notability is not inherited from the show having notable persons involved or airing on a notable streaming site. You have to establish notability via coverage in independent and reliable sources, such as reviews in newspapers or the like. The Reading Eagle source is fine, but it's not enough on its own. IMDb cannot establish notability and the RT link doesn't have any reviews. The Forbes piece is written by a contributor, making it a self-published source, and it also only announces that it was renewed - something that doesn't establish notability in and of itself, so this would be a trivial source even if the author was established to be someone who is typically seen as a reliable source. The other two links are primary sources, as it's a link to a book by the show's creator and Amazon Prime. I don't really see where this would overturn the prior AfD from a few months ago either, to be honest. I tried looking for sources on my own, in hopes that I may find something, but there's just not anything out there. It's possible that it may gain more coverage in the future, particularly if Amazon orders more episodes, but for now this just isn't notable.
