Non notable sports channel from Sri Lanka woth no coverage from third party sources. Hahc21 ^{{{small|[TALK][CONTRIBS]}}} 16:00, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

A channel called Carlton Sports Network exits in Sri Lanka, I know because I live in Sri Lanka. You can find all the information by visiting the channels page www.csn.lk — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lankan9911 (talk • contribs) 16:35, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

:I'm not challenging the existence of the channel but its inclusion on Wikipedia. --Hahc21 ^{{{small|[TALK][CONTRIBS]}}} 16:41, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

• Comment - The essay WP:Notability (media)#Broadcast media says that "most television stations that produce original content should be presumed notable for Wikipedia purposes". I'm not !voting until some sourcing can be found. Sourcing is likely to be non-English, so standard searches might not turn up anything of merit. 93.107.7.224 (talk) 08:23, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
