[edit]

Careful — I didn't say "Scaly" wasn't notable; I said, "notability not asserted". This means that the problem was, you didn't say anything about why it was notable. The example I like to use: imagine that our article on Obama said only "Barry Obama is a lawyer from Chicago. He wrote a book once, and his father is from Africa." That would not assert any notability whatsoever.

The problem is, you said "it's a TV show made by a twelve-year-old boy and his parents, out of their house, on a shoestring budget, with no outside support or sponsors! Here's a list of the episodes! There's no ratings because it's on a network that doesn't get ratings! Our only source is the network's own webpage! Also the show was long-listed for a Telly and a Regional Emmy, both of which are self-nominated!"

This says zero about notability. Can you show me third-party reliable coverage of "Scaly" ? Coverage that is not ultimately controlled by Daystar and/or the Currens? If you can, well... good! You should have included it in the first place, of course, but that coverage is what makes notability (i.e., the media has taken note of it). If such coverage exists, then it's grounds for restoring the page. If you can't, well... sorry, I hope that now you understand more about what the problem is.
