The article I Wanna Date a Race Car Driver has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Reality TV show that was rapidly cancelled. Tagged as Unreferenced and unimproved for 15 and 1/2 years. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. No reliable sources online Google; literally zero hits on Google news.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Please note that this nomination also covers season 3 as part of a bulk nomination. RunningTiger123 (talk) 02:48, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone find better sourcing for World's Strictest Parents (American TV series)? I found a couple of "local teen to appear on the show" human interest type articles, but other than a review from Common Sense Media, I haven't found any sources about the CMT adaptation. Newspapers.com turned up literally nothing but TV Guide listings. The current sources in the article are either the show itself, or news articles about the people who appeared on it without mentioning the show at all, which also raises WP:BLP concerns to me.

Hi there,

I've submitted a new draft article about James Blake, a BBC Three presenter and documentary filmmaker. The article includes national coverage of two BBC One and BBC Three documentaries, a Royal Television Society Breakthrough Award, and references from multiple independent sources.

I'd really appreciate any feedback or a review from editors in this area.

Thanks so much in advance! Nomadfrau912 (talk) 16:13, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also one question i have is that i can see some of his work is being shown on other networks such as RTE in ireland, Amazon Prime in Spain, Now TV in China as an example, should i add this also? Nomadfrau912 (talk) 16:14, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Link for reference: Draft:James Blake (Television Presenter) (not to be confused with Draft:James Blake (TV presenter); I don't know why a new draft was started today after this draft was initially edited). RunningTiger123 (talk) 16:24, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I created the draft from scratch because I'm new to Wikipedia and wanted to better understand the process by working through it myself. I've put a lot of time and effort into researching and writing this version, probably around 3 hours today and I hope that's okay. I'm more than happy to take on any suggestions or improvements — thank you! Nomadfrau912 (talk) 16:30, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I've submitted a new draft article about Joel Mawhinney, a BBC Blue Peter presenter and Magicica. There are references from multiple independent sources. I'd really appreciate any feedback or a review from editors in this area. Nomadfrau912 (talk) 18:45, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
