Local 58
... that Local 58 is a constantly hijacked television station?
Created/expanded by Florence Hansen (talk). Self-nominated at 22:40, 1 February 2020 (UTC).
The article is new (created on 27 January, nominated on 1 February). It is sufficiently long (the prose portion has >4500 characters). I am concerned that notability is not very well established: the bulk of the citations are primary sources supporting plot summaries, and the others include TV Tropes and Know Your Meme, both of which are generally unreliable. The hook is short but not representative, taking an in-universe fact about a fictional TV station and presenting it straight up. XOR'easter (talk) 17:29, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
As it does not appear the article is clearly ineligible, replacing the X icon with the less dire slash. I have struck the hook, since per WP:DYKSG#C6, If the subject is a work of fiction or a fictional character, the hook must involve the real world in some way.
(A fictional TV station is covered; the key word here is "fiction".) The notability issue is a tricky one at DYK; if the article is truly non-notable and there aren't any reliable secondary sources, then the usual recourse is articles for deletion to see what the community's consensus is regarding notability.

- @XOR'easter and BlueMoonset: I would recommend that the article be nominated for deletion, as a quick search for sources failed to find much of note. I also tried proposing a new hook, but the article doesn't have that much real-world information: in fact, the vast majority of the article is plot summaries.

- Coincidentally, I've just come across this page, had begun looking into how to list it at AfD, and then found this discussion via the what links here tool. I've not done an AfD nomination before, so since this is already being dealt with, I'll leave the nomination in more capable hands. Jonie148 (talk) 09:00, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
