When Disaster Strikes (TV series)

Article about a television series, featuring no indication of any reliable source coverage for the purposes of making it notable per WP:TVSHOW. Two of the three footnotes here are its own primary source content about itself (one from the production company that made it and one from the network that aired it), while the third is a FEMA emergency training manual that has nothing whatsoever to do with this show, and is here solely to "reference" tangential content that's trending in a vaguely how-to direction. ("Every situation is different and requires a creative, no-nonsense plan". You don't say!) In addition, the article was created by a user named "Parallaxpete", indicating a clear conflict of interest when you notice that the show was produced by Parallax Film Productions.

Delete Generic paint-by-numbers 'disaster porn' put out in the market and not aired exclusively by one network because its only purpose is to fill an hour of television network time. Also going by this, it's also a damned WP:ADVERT for certain disaster remediation services, which at best is plain dishonest, but otherwise is a betrayal to a viewer just wanting to learn about disasters without getting a sales pitch about getting rid of mold with it (and no, Fox never aired this show; maybe one of their affiliates did on a Sunday afternoon to fill time when football wasn't on, but an American broadcast network airing this as part of their schedule would get sources by television critics who would call an American broadcast network mad for airing such crummy programming).

Comment: I strongly suspect this is an infomercial series. RobDuch (talk) 05:16, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
