It does not meet WP:GNG, WP:NFILM, doesn't even have an entry on RottenTomatoes. Also, I was unable to find any significant coverage online that shows any lasting notability. TruthGuardians (talk) 16:14, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

- Delete Can't find any third party coverage. May not meet WP:NFILM. Kaotoshi (talk) 12:05, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
- What about the third party coverage cited in the article? Couldn't you find that? Phil Bridger (talk) 17:26, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
- There wasn't any third party coverage, the article still lacks enough sources for a separate article.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaotoshi (talk • contribs) 18:32, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
- The topic may or may not have enough sources for a separate article, but it is pretty obviously untrue that there is no third party coverage, because such coverage is cited right there in the article, and was well before you made your first comment, including an 18-page peer-reviewed academic paper about this topic. Let's base our comments on evidence. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:27, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
- Delete In case it is useful, the program quotes Terry George saying " 'I had phone sex with Jacko,' that's what the press wrote." Createangelos (talk) 19:18, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Createangelos: Why should that quote justify to delete the article? --SI 07:09, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. There is and was more coverage, like , and newspaper articles from 2005 that are not on the internet nowadays. --SI 07:09, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
- WP:GNG requires significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. While the articles you mention are from reliable sources, these sources just do not prove in-depth coverage or lasting impact. They pretty much mention the documentary in passing so it does not meet the expectation for WP:GNG and WP:V thus Delete. I might add that the documentary was only taking advantage of the 2005 circus around Jackson at that time and fed into the hands of tabloid rumor and innuendo. There is no lasting impact, coverage, or citing material from this documentary. TruthGuardians (talk) 16:41, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
- How is an 18-page article completely about this documentary in a peer-reviewed academic journal only mentioning it "in passing"? Phil Bridger (talk) 17:25, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

:::First of all, this is not an 18-page article completely about this documentary in a peer-reviewed academic journal. In fact, this journal is much larger than 18 pages and was about fare more topics than this tabloid frenzied documentary. Furthermore, you didn't cite the academic article correctly. The first sentence of the article says, "Michael Jackson's Boys is a 2005 British TV documentary about the unusual way how Michael Jackson for most of his adult life had surrounded himself with teenage boys." This is faundmentally wrong. Finally, one academic article simply isn't enough to keep a WP article, it never has been.TruthGuardians (talk) 19:38, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Sources in the article do not show significant coverage in independent RS, so it fails WP:GNG. WP:GNG requires significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This page cites 2 sources (+ 2 AFD sources), but none of them have received reliable in-depth coverage. Most of the sources are WP:ROUTINE news reporting about sexual allegations against Jackson.
