- Delete - I can't even find a media mention of this devil of programme - let alone anything that would support having an article. Normally I'd suggest redirecting to the originating network - but I've got nothing to even show it was ever broadcast. Nfitz (talk) 20:23, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of programs broadcast by E! (Canadian TV channel)#Former programming Utterly generic 'top 10' countdown program which existed only to fill timeslots and fill IMDb bios; it's Canadian so I would guess the only coverage was of the 'short TV Guide blurb' variety.

- I see no discussion of the show there, just a mention in a long list. More importantly, I see not a single reference confirming the show was broadcast by that channel. Is there anything (better than the local TV listings)? In this case, I don't think too many will be using this common catchphrase as a Google search term. Nfitz (talk) 18:29, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment E! was formerly known as Star! until 2011, which isn't made clear by the list of itself. Nate • (chatter) 00:12, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to List of programs broadcast by E! (Canadian TV channel)#Former programming (with the history preserved under the redirect) per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. I did not find significant coverage in reliable sources in my searches for sources. A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow editors to selectively merge any content that can be reliably sourced to the target article. A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow the redirect to be undone if significant coverage in reliable sources is found in the future.
