The result was delete. Some possible sources were mentioned during the debate but apparently failed to sway any of the "delete" !votes.

These are not sufficient for the issues raised here. BBC is a primary source here and I doubt MixesDB is reliable. Jalen Folf (talk) 18:38, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
With small errors, MixesDB can be considered a completely worthy source of information. Alas, BBC does not store such information anywhere from sources known to me. 88.230.52.78 (talk) 15:31, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep re-adding my comment below the relisting.
There are a vast number of shows that have 'List of [show] episodes' and provide similar information, I don't see how this is any different. There's TV episode lists that have more info like rating/prod code/summaries but looking further there's "List of Radiolab episodes" that seems very much the same.
If it's strictly the lack of source. Some examples have been provided above, and probably since the creation of this page each edit could put BBC Radio 1's page as the source as new ones are added, the issue is BBC just does not preserve it past a month. But that's a fair amount of time for others to review and confirm, and keep this encyclopedia of BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix Programming that I and many others use.

WP:NOTTVGUIDE "An article on a broadcaster should not list upcoming events". - If the fact that some people add the upcoming weeks shows that BBC posts is the issue, we can keep it to past shows only.
"Historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable." - This show has been run in excess of 25 years and is one of BBC Radio One's longest running programs Noletuary (talk) 19:44, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
