Gypsy Girl (TV series): Tagged for notability Donald D23 talk to me 14:20, 17 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note:  This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Television and United Kingdom .  Donald D23 talk to me 14:20, 17 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .  Fails WP:SIGCOV .  As I stated in the first AFD, extensive searches in newspapers.com, JSTOR, EBSCOE, google books, my university library, and in several standard UK TV/media encyclopedias published after this series aired showed no significant coverage of this show.  I do not believe that sources on this particular show exist given an exhaustive effort to locate them.  The first AFD was closed largely due to a bad WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES argument which is listed at Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions § There must be sources .  Respectfully, I request that this time around that anyone voting keep actually provide evidence of significant coverage, because frankly I don't think it exists on or off-line after thoroughly looking.  We need to see the sources, not just speculate that there are sources.  Likewise, admins please don't close this as keep or no consensus if GNG isn't demonstrated with evidence.  Arguments based on speculation aren't valid.  Enforce our policies please.  4meter4 ( talk ) 15:34, 17 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I question if things have changed since the last deletion discussion.  PatGallacher ( talk ) 23:00, 17 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , because I'm wondering the same thing as PatGallacher above.  (Reminder: "Television series, game shows, and talk shows broadcast nationally by a major network or produced by a major studio are usually kept.")  But, as another of the users in the last discussion suggested, I suppose that redirecting to Elizabeth Arnold (children's writer)#Folklore , where this series is mentioned, can be an alternative.  - My, oh my!

Retrieved 2023-09-18 – via Google Books .  The book notes: " The Gypsy Girl , shown in 2001, was an excellent seven-episode series that harked back to seemingly lost values. Though it was roundly marketed as a British Sabrina, and probably only commissioned in the hope that it would be, the reality was that the stories it told were rather more thoughtful. The broadcast of The Gypsy Girl marked another shift in children's programming when it became the first drama to air on consecutive days, Mondays to Fridays , and this 'stripped' schedule experiment is up for review at the beginning of 2002."
