Article is an WP:OR violating abomination. Unrelated ITV programmes are lumped together under a "ITV specials" banner that doesn't exist. The subject as a group fails GNG. Dougal18 (talk) 11:39, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Nothing found about the topic as a group, except the usual databases and sites that mirror Wikipedia. Article has extremely poor sourcing, with almost all sources to a single special. List is too long to navigate easily; might be ok as a category but not like this. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:31, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I am not seeing anything to suggest that what is included here is ever routinely grouped together. Dunarc (talk) 22:58, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I don't think this is a banner, branding, or grouping that is actually used by anybody, much less ITV itself. (It also arbitrarily suggests that there were no specials of any kind on ITV before 2000, which is highly unlikely—if not outright inaccurate—for a network that has existed since 1955.) On top of that, is there any real reason why the six main "types" or "series" of music specials aired on ITV are only listed here, and not in the list of television programmes broadcast by ITV?
