The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy delete. Pretty clear that this is a hoax (the "Guardian" reference at the bottom doesn't mention the programme either). No point in keeping obvious bollocks around any longer than necessary. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 11:21, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This smells strongly of fabricated info as my searches including the simplest found absolutely nothing aside from mirrors and maybe it's the country barrier but it's also vague who Clem and Lachlan Meester are (my searches found zero results). Sure it was cancelled but you would at least expect something to confirm its existence including something as recent as 2012 (and even more for a show apparently since 2006). It's also worth noting the author RolyAndMac basically made zero other edits aside from "hey i love dogs" at their userpage. The article has had basically no further edits and I think this explains it well. As the tagger, Calamondin12 is welcome to comment. SwisterTwister talk 07:00, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete almost certainly a hoax. Never heard of it, never seen it on iView, nothing when you google it with site:au and the DVD is not available at the ABC Shop. The-Pope (talk) 11:54, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Many, many factors point to a hoax:

It would be virtually impossible for a "teen drama" to run for six years and 145 episodes on a major broadcast network like ABC without an enormous online presence (commentary, reviews, fan sites, etc.). As noted above, there are no listings for the DVD as well.
"Right Round," listed as the theme song, was not released until three years after the show's supposed premiere.
The listed dates for the references (pointing to the show's cancellation) are from a time period nowhere near the supposed end of the show. Calamondin12 (talk) 13:59, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. References are cut and paste from another article and totally unrelated to the subject. ([[1]]) Smells like a hoax.Doctorhawkes (talk) 02:40, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
