You could ask for it to be added at E-S. If the group is properly
constituted and the control messages archived, Ray will add it.
The fact that it is not already present in the E-S groups list suggests
that it isn't a real Usenet newsgroup.

No control message on the isc ftp.
ftp://ftp.isc.org/usenet/control/alt/

Also, for me the content looks like spam in German, or at least bot/AI
messages.

I cannot read them on narkive, they seem to have been removed.

Varför klagar du på dem då? Du bör se en läkare om dina censurösa
tvångstankar.

alt.entertainment is not a newsgroup with an archived newgroup message
at ftp.isc.org. No News site that requires there to be an archived
newgroup message will create it.

Are you sure it's not a Google Group mailing list? A lot of Google Groups
mailing lists appear to be named into Usenet namespace but they are not
Usenet newsgroup, or newsgroups of any kind.

As far as narkive, they display the Path header so you should be able to
figure out how the messages got archived.

I don't see how this is a Usenet abuse issue as no proper News site is
likely to have created this as a newsgroup.

It is not available on Google Groups.

How can I display it on narkive?

I thought narkive retains headers. Maybe I'm wrong.

Valid or not, it is full of junk, auf Deutsch. This more closely
resembles of flood, than either spam or conversation.

IBTD: It's converstions about German Trash TV shows and "celebs" and hence even
on topic in a group named alt.entertainment. Not the right language,
though. Reminds me of the time when new usenet users were taught
introductory courses in "Usenet".

The "View for bookmarking" link,
http://al.howardknight.net/?ID=169410684400 is static and uses fewer
resources.

Thanks, Ray. I'll try to pay closer attention.
