Non-notable TV show. Spent 10+ years with additional citation requests. Only lasted 8 episodes, and only claim to notability is that a contestant died after the show finished airing in the 9/11 attacks, which have nothing to do with the show. Macktheknifeau (talk) 20:09, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

- Keep Without exception, most American primetime broadcast series always meet WP:N and pass GNG easily (and will easily pass with one additional source), and I'd argue that a contestant being a victim of that tragedy only adds to that N/GNG. Nate • (chatter) 20:44, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Although this was MANY years ago, I provided a lot of information from every episode I have watched. I don't think this should be deleted. And the episodes should still be available on YouTube. DarkFireYoshi (talk) 03:10, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: I added references from three newspaper articles: "Fox's Murder in Small Town X turns players into detectives" (Quad-City Times), "Reality TV, 'murder' intertwine in new series" (Lansing State Journal), and "Tue Best Bets" (Fort Worth Star-Telegram). This is enough to satisfy WP:NTV. Toughpigs (talk) 03:33, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Those are all routine, insignificant coverage and not enough to establish notability. In my opinion. Macktheknifeau (talk) 10:03, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- The first article is 12 paragraphs long from an independent, reliable source. The second is 22 paragraphs long. They discuss the subject in detail, including production information and quotes on the creators' intentions. If this seems routine, that's only because, as Nate says above, American primetime broadcast series tend to get coverage like this, and are therefore considered notable.
