I don't think this has any significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, so I'm nominating for deletion for failing notability guidelines. samrolken (talk) 00:19, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw: Please note that I wish to withdraw this nomination since it looks like some good sources have been found. (Thanks!) I hope they will be added to the article and I ask that someone close this as speedy-keep. samrolken (talk) 06:20, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Big in its day. Ran for five years, peak hour viewing (9pm) on the channel (ITV) with the highest viewing figures at that time, the subject of at least two spin-off books. Not forgotten, since it has been issued on DVD, but in any case notability is not temporary. --AJHingston (talk) 00:44, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per AJHingston. A series that ran on ITV for 5 years is not the sort of thing we should be deleting. It's not surprising that something of that vintage might not yield extensive GNews results, but here for example is a 1969 review from Melbourne's The Age, and here is a 1995 mention in The Independent crediting this show as first to bring the "Victorian policeman" cop show concept to TV. -Arxiloxos (talk) 01:24, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
