Keep [1], [2], [3], [4]. Appears to have sufficient coverage in mainstream media press to meet GNG, I don't see anything that says this has been cancelled. I'd suggest revisiting this if it doesn't show up on air in another six months, but if it does, what exactly is the point of deleting and recreating this?

Keep Has a cast, synopsis and a proposed airdate, that's all we need. It would be a waste of resources to remove this article and then have to re-create it when the show comes to air. Nate • (chatter) 04:44, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If that's your concern, it could (and should) be moved to draftspace. It could be improved and restored from there if the TV show actually materializes. That's my !vote, anyway, but Wikipedia does not keep articles merely because they might become notable later. Shelbystripes (talk) 07:16, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's notable now, and meets WP:TVSHOW. I wish people wouldn't waste AfD on cases like this – if a TV series has been greenlit to series by a TV network, and has a semi-definite premiere date, but has not yet premiered, it should not be AfD'ed. Please save that for articles about TV pilots that were NOT greenlit to series... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:18, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comment Also consider that ABC is likely to announce their midseason schedule on January 8 during winter press tour; almost forgot about that. Nate • (chatter) 02:59, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And just like what I thought, ABC did announce a premiere date; April 2. So I'd say all of the nom's concerns are now addressed. Nate • (chatter) 01:15, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep With the recent announcement and media coverage (re: Entertainment Weekly, Jan. 8) clearly passes. ShelbyMarion (talk) 13:51, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The show is a known commodity, people will want to find information about it. Makes no sense to remove this or send it to draftspace. Other unreleased TV shows have 'upcoming show' pages, the original post that started should not be taken seriously (seems more likely to be based on some bias against the show or network). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.208.127.164 (talk) 18:25, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
