Touch the Truck

Common publicity stunt. The fact that it received publicity isn't notable. Rklawton (talk) 12:30, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – against better judgment :-). As pointed out by nominator, it is an extremely common publicity stunt/fundraiser. As such, does not that in and of itself qualify it as Notable ? ShoesssS ^Talk 12:44, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not much in the article, and focuses on a specific contest. It is not about the more general stunt of "being-last-to-touch-the car-and therefore-win-it"ROxBo (talk) 13:48, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - article is not about a generic publicity stunt but rather a TV show which was broadcast nationally in the UK. Programmes broadcast on national channels/networks are usually considered notable. Coverage in major national newspapers included this, this and this, and here is something from a book..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:05, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy close - keep - I didn't realize this article was about a TV series (a bit of re-wording would help). It looked more like a one-shot publicity stunt. Rklawton (talk) 14:19, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - We can't do a speedy keep based on a nominator's withdraw since someone else has recommended deletion. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 15:49, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep per above. Ikip (talk) 17:57, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article is sourced and the reason for deletion is not longer valid. --J^mundo 18:35, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
