I guess that's up to you! This programme was broadcast across Western Europe on January 1, 1970, one of the very few music programmes outside of Eurovision to achieve that distinction. It is also the only UK/German TV entertainment production ever broadcast on BBC1 on prime time. The BBC considered it significant enough to archive, unlike any of the contemporary pop shows, which had their tapes wiped. It has been repeated many times on various channels across the continent. Clips from the show are often used on BBC compilation shows. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TVArchivistUK (talk • contribs) 13:35, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - I can't find much in the way of significant coverage, but a search backs up what TVArchivist says above - this show has been archived and repeated many times. It also has an entry on the BFI database: [1]. Better references than that are needed, but it looks to me as though it is probably notable. Robofish (talk) 14:03, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete goes this non-notable television special. JBsupreme (talk) 19:04, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. This is one of those annoying articles for which I know the truth, but can't find evidence online to support my knowledge. I remember this well 40 years after its broadcast, despite not remembering where I put my glasses five minutes ago, and part of that memory is that it was a big deal at the time and would certainly have attracted extensive media coverage.

Keep - Definitely keep. This was a major show at it's time and was the BBC's primary show broadcast on January 1, 1970. It was a big deal at the time and trailed continuously. I remember being very disappointed when I actually saw it, because it wasn't very good. Adam Faith sang a song from the 50's and the Stones sang a song that was never a hit!!! But regardless of the quality, it was a milestone co-production at the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.107.106 (talk) 19:24, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep. If the same special happened now, with the same level of bands playing, it would generate enough coverage to satisfy notability criteria with online sources. As this one happened way before the internet existed all its sources will be offline. I'm sure there is a strong case for ignoring the rules here and keeping this article.

Keep?. There seems to be little argument over this page. And the majority of the comments are for keeping. Is this decided now? It has been 12 days since the debate was opened. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TVArchivistUK (talk • contribs) 16:46, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
