Delete. Neglected non-notable article. — Wylie pedia 21:12, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Didn't this used to be pretty popular? I never watched it, but I've heard of it. I found a few mentions, some of them admittedly a bit trivial: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. I'm pretty sure there's more coverage out there, but I'm tired to trying to refine my searches to avoid all the spam, blogs, and irrelevant hits. Searching for screensavers techtv -blogspot.com -wordpress.com -viewtopic -torrent seems to help, but it's still a chore to slog through all the crap. For anyone who wants to try to find more sources, I suggest PC Magazine, PC World, CNET, Wired.com, The New York Times, and Ars Technica. These are the sites that I usually go to when I search for notability for tech-related topics. Maybe someone can find a few hits that I missed.

Keep: Though off the air 10 years now (making it slightly harder to source), it ran for seven years and was a popular TV series.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 14:17, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Articles are not kept based on popularity(WP:POPULARITY), but reliable sources. All the ones provided are passing mentions, mostly about the ending of Tech TV, not the actual show.--Otterathome (talk) 11:13, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree its not about popularity, but this show is notable[10] (one of many articles that can be found, for editors so inclined), you do not claim it was not in the nomination, I noted.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 13:06, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am happy with the sfgate reference. If someone found 1-2 more sources which reviewed the subject of this article then I would !vote keep, but right now, this fails WP:GNG. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:09, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Highlight show on TechTV; notability is not lost over time. Even killing all the segment and fan-cruft, a good stub is still formed from all of this. Nate • (chatter) 02:02, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
