Even though the acceptance of WP:TNT is very far from universal, I think this article is of such a low quality that deletion on this ground is reasonable. The article is short and disorganized, the phrasing is unencyclopedic, and it cites just one relevant source. Is this article suitable for an encyclopedia in its current state? No. Is its current state useful as a starting point for improvement? Again, no. Janhrach (talk) 09:29, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Procedural keep - AfD is not the place for article cleanup. If you feel article needs to be improved, edit it. This article is by no means an extreme case that would warrant WP:TNT. --Soman (talk) 11:05, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  The deletion policy says [a]ny other content not suitable for an encyclopedia could be deleted. Whether this article is such content is debatable (That's why I nominated this for AfD, not PROD.), but I don't see a reason for a procedural close. Janhrach (talk) 15:25, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Since the nominator asks for deletion and not for cleanup, there is no procedural reason to close early as keep. The discussion has to come down to whether TNT deletion is warranted or not. Since 1 person thinks it is and 1 person thinks it's not so far, the discussion should be allowed to continue.

• Keep 5 interwiki links, de:Nalia Radio and Television looks good for notability, WP:Deletion is not cleanup, and this one is short enough to clean up or expand easily. I removed two wonky sentences and added a source. – sgeureka ^t•c 11:54, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
