Podcast. Sourced only to the newspaper, The Guardian, that produces it. No third-party coverage as required by WP:GNG. Worth a mention in the main Guardian article, but probably not much more. Sandstein 21:13, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. The article now has two third-party mentions. The journalists and their guests in this series represent decades of experience in numerous European media outlets and focus on in-depth coverage of current topics of substance, as evidenced in the episodes mentioned in the article. Their guests are often authors of books on the topics discussed and/or veteran investigative journalists who have spent years reporting on the issue in question. It is my understanding, that unlike print media, news podcasts have fewer reviews. Based on the Wikipedia article on The Guardian, it is clear that the newsbrand is widely read, and considered to be high quality and trustworthy. All TiF journalists are also contributors to The Guardian. I wrote the article after listening to several of the episodes. I wanted to know more about the podcasts, the investigative journalists involved, and other topics they cover. There is no need to rush a deletion on this article.Oceanflynn (talk) 23:11, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge to The Guardian per nom.—S Marshall T/C 14:21, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge a mention per nom, whose rationale is sound. Once the primary sources are removed, this podcast is not independently notable. czar 16:48, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
