  • Comment: Since BINGE appears to be owned by Foxtel, I would recommend avoiding News Corp owned references as they would not be sufficiently independent for WP:ORGIND purposes. If there are other media sources, replace the current sources with those and I'll be happy to accept (I might see if I could find some myself later). As another note, I would recommend using the title BINGE to keep things concise, per WP:DIFFCAPS. Alpha3031 (tc) 05:58, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
