Vice News Tonight[edit]
that the new HBO daily news series Vice News Tonight has already been given a three-year commitment from the network?- ALT1: ... that HBO's new daily news series Vice News Tonight was intended by Vice News to have "no ads, no anchors and no censors?"

Note that the main hook is not interesting or surprising, but we can give alt1 a shot. The article is big enough but only just. It is padded with plenty of quotes that the tool fails to exclude, but the original text is 1600 characters. However it is a little bit late - 8 days and 5 hours at nom time. Started 02:10, 17 October 2016 nominated 07:28, 25 October 2016. I notice the first DYK attempted was too late by a long way. This is the third DYK nomination, so no QPQ is needed yet. Earlier claims of hoax and lack of notability have proved false. I am slightly concerned about neutrality, as most of the reviews have been a bit insulting. Has this changed? The hook ALT1 is in the article, cited and confirmed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:05, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
- I'd be fine with ALT1 if that's the preferable blurb!Fireflyfanboy (talk) 23:34, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- Fireflyfanboy, you have not answered Graeme Bartlett's concerns about neutrality. Please do so. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:48, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Since some time has passed, perhaps there are more reviews available to see if they really are mostly negative. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:51, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- I added a negative review from CNNMoney, does that improve things at all?Fireflyfanboy (talk) 19:45, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
I will withdraw my comment about neutrality then. Can you convert some more of the quotes in the Development section to your own writing? Anyway it can proceed to DYK. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:21, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
