Does not pass WP:GNG. Searching Google News, Google News Archives, Google Books, and Google Scholar only yield passing mentions or WP:ROUTINE mentions of events. The article was tagged for notability issues way back in 2007 and then a user removed it in 2008 without providing reliable secondary sources that show in depth coverage of the subject.

• Comment Nasa Edge is a podcast now, not sure what it has to do with this. Oaktree b (talk) 23:11, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• @Oaktree b: I'm not sure I understand your comment. I opened the AfD for NASA Edge and it's true that it's a podcast. Was it at some point not a podcast? The article says it's a vodcast or video podcast. Either way it needs to meet the requirements of WP:N or perhaps WP:WEB. TipsyElephant (talk) 00:52, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I assumed it was a television show, I hadn't looked at the article before posting. Oaktree b (talk) 01:46, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment unable to find reliable, secondary coverage. However, is there a viable merge target for NASA Edge, NASAcast and NASA 360? Maybe an article about NASA outreach/media? It seems to be a notable topic overall, although the video podcast itself is not. Star Mississippi 01:53, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  @Star Mississippi I am no sure if NASA outreach/media is a notable topic. I'd start with a section in the main article, if it grows it can be perhaps split off. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:41, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• That makes sense to me as well, Piotrus. Star Mississippi 13:17, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge and redirect to NASA. My BEFORE also failed to find any WP:SIGCOV. That article can mention it in some relevant section about NASA-related media, in a passing sentence. Does not need its own article. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:40, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to NASA. Similar to Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/NASAcast_(2nd_nomination). Clearly fails WP:WEBCRIT, as the notability is not inherited from the parent organization and there's little to no independent coverage to be found. Perhaps whoever merges this should create a new section like NASA#Media which could include information on this, NASAcast, NASA TV, and NASA 360.

• Merge to NASA. Fails WP:WEBCRIT per Piotr's argument. SBKSPP (talk) 01:52, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
