The result was delete. At AFD notability is almost always the main concern, but in this case there is more serious problem, the lack of verification of even the most basic facts about this channel. We cannot have an article on a subject that cannot be verified to exist, and we can't fill in the blanks ourselves. There must be sources which are clearly referring to the article subject, which currently does not appear to be the case. If anyone wants to try and work on this to rectify this issue I'd be happy to WP:USERFY this for them. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:19, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. What I can gather from Disney's website and the WP articles here and on ru:WP [1] is that there is no such channel called Disney XD for Russia. Jetix was renamed to Disney Channel on August 2010, and apparently they did released a new channel at the beginning of this month in place of channel "Seven" [2]. It would seem that this article refers to the new channel given the release date, but I can't tell if it's meant to replace the previous one or not. I don't think there's any need to delete the content, only to set the information straight, which might require a rename — Frankie (talk) 22:08, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:RS. Logical Cowboy (talk) 02:27, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article should stay, it has info and is real--TBrandley (talk) 21:22, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Being real is not enough to save an article from deletion. Topics for articles must have received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" (WP:GNG). Judging solely by this article's references, it has not, as the references are either unreliable (blog posts, Wikipedia entry) or affiliated with Disney XD in Russia (USTREAM channel). It may have received significant coverage elsewhere, however. Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 22:56, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's fake. SergeyTitov (talk) 02:53, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't fake, however it might not have another sources.--TBrandley (talk) 03:43, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
