WP:OR, overly detailed coat rack. In fact just a list of programs, often not notable, broadcasted (not made) by a local channel. And according to an article owner: WHO ARE YOU?! YOU DON'T ANYHOW CHANGE THE COLOUR AT "List of MediaCorp Channel 8 Chinese drama series (2010s)"! THAT PAGE IS FOR SINGAPOREANS TO READ! NOT FOR OVERSEAS PEOPLE LIKE YOU! IF THAT PAGE MADE YOU PUKE, THEN DON'T READ IT! NO ONE ASK YOU TO READ! BY THE WAY, THAT PAGE IS NOT FOR READING! If the page is Singaporeans only, it is not relevant for the worldwide Wikipedia. And when the article is not for reading, what else is the use of this article? The Banner talk 13:09, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure the nom is correct on the facts. The articles for A Child's Hope II, 118 II, and Don't Worry, Be Healthy (to sample a few found in Category:MediaCorp Chinese language programmes) all describe the series as produced by or originally airing on MediaCorp Channel 8. And if this channel has notable original programming, then it merits a list for those programmes. Let's hear from someone actually familiar with the subject matter before we jump to deletion conclusions. postdlf (talk) 20:36, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- He's also been abusing people similarly on their user talk pages. But this is why warnings need to be issued, even for IPs. None have been. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:53, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a useful list of dramas on Channel 8, which is a channel of the national (and only) TV broadcaster Mediacorp. Channel 8 is watched by a lot of people and I think it is encyclopaedic and helpful to preserve this list. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 18:42, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment about original programming The vast majority of dramas on Channel 8 are produced by government owned Mediacorp itself in Singapore. And the Channel 8 itself is one of the few local television channels here (There are only 7 television channels in Singapore, all controlled by Mediacorp). These few channels have lots of viewers and it is useful to keep this info. The side effect of lots of viewers is the disruptive editing and "fan edits" on these articles. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 18:52, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I usually keep a watch on these articles and I am aware of sourcing/NOR problems. However, sometimes it slips through my watchlist. If there is any disruptive editing, please let me know on my talk page and I would be happy to help out. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 18:55, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
