Article is mostly a plot summary of the first television special for the musical duo the Carpenters, but the subject doesn't present much else for being noteworthy. It fails to cover how the special was critically received or how it affected the careers of the musicians or the production's staff. After researching it, I didn't find anything of value to justify its own article on WP. — Paper Luigi ^{T • C} 04:15, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I found three newspaper reviews of the special, which I added in a new "Reception" section:
"The Carpenters turn in gentle television special", Jay Sharbutt, Associated Press.

"Showmanship Escapes Carpenters", David Reed, Lexington Herald.

"How about "Close to You" on drums?", Rock Island Argus.

These are all full-size reviews, not capsules or trivial mentions. This satisfies WP:NTV, which says "Multiple reviews or other reliable, independent, non-trivial commentary demonstrate notability for a television episode." Toughpigs (talk) 16:11, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
