Delete Going by this Instagram post, the last time the network was active was June 21, 2019. Website is still a ghost site with a 2017 copyright date, and its channel position was bought out by a pastor, Ebenezer Ndlovu, to show his programming.This seems like a network that had big promises, but failed to broadcast all that long.

Comment That’s not true, just checked DSTV Channel 265 and the network exists and broadcasts 24/7 TapticInfo (talk) 10:10, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Accotrding to the official DStv guide, there is no channel name on 265, and I see none of the GauTV programming talked about on their website. If they're still on the air at all, they've just decided to collect tele-preacher money and call it a day as long as DStv keeps them on the air. As mentioned before, their social presence was last updated in 2019, and their Twitter and Facebook accounts were actually suspended for suspicious activity, suggesting a network on auto-pilot with no actual programming.

Keep Network is Still active on DSTV should be kept because of its prevalence on the DSTV platform. TapticInfo (talk) 10:10, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The channel appears to fail GNG, and no specific standards exist with WP:ORG that would allow us to keep it based on its prevalence within a given platform. However, if sources with significant coverage of the channel can be found, I would have no issue with changing my !vote. BilledMammal (talk) 23:00, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom the channel does not satisfy WP:GNG.JeepersClub (talk) 17:29, 29 August 2021 (UTC) Blocked as sockmaster. Geschichte (talk) 17:50, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as failing the GNG. This channel seems minor, and while being on DStv makes notability likely for a good number of services, it is not a certainty. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:46, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
