Reviewing the sources here, all the third-party RSes cited are either passing mentions or don't name the show itself at all. There's no evidence of notability independent of the host
George Galloway himself. As such, I redirected to the host. This was objected to, so I'm putting this up for delete and redirect - unless there are in fact find good sources to the standards of
WP:RPRGM, which requires general notability -

It is literally a passing mention of the show itself, it's Galloway mentioning it in passing in an article about Galloway. It contains no information about the show beyond it existing. Do you have any RS coverage of the show itself? -

In case you didn't read it, the entire article is about Galloway as talk show host – about the show's beginnings, about its growth, about the topics discussed.
so you agree, it's about Galloway and not about The Mother of All Talk Shows, then, and supports the existence of the host's article and not the non-notable subtopic at hand here -

Sourcing quality is typical for show articles on Wikipedia as you can easily check. —

you mean, inadequate and not up to Wikipedia standards?
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is considered a bad argument in notability discussions -

Yes, and that's why I responded as weak keep – the subject passes GNG in my view and only needs improved sourcing. —
kashmīrīTALK 10:25, 4 August 2022 (UTC)reply
so, do these sources actually exist? 'Cos the ones on the article aren't showing the notability of the show -
David Gerard (

If they showed it, we wouldn't be here. —

Do sources clearly showing its notability actually exist? So far you're appealing to hypothetical sources you're not producing -

Weak Keep per Kashmiri's argument.
