Submission declined on 29 August 2024 by Robert McClenon (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of films). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: This is too soon. Please resubmit after the show airs. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:50, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Please note: This draft should not be submitted for review or moved to the mainspace until filming for the series has begun, per WP:NFTV.

An editor has marked this as a promising draft and requests that, should it go unedited for six months, G13 deletion be postponed, either by making a dummy/minor edit to the page, or by improving and submitting it for review.
