This list is horrendously outdated, shoddily made, and completely devoid of sources. Short of completely recreating it from scratch, it's beyond salvagable. 100.7.44.80 (talk) 15:40, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It is unsourced but not unsourcable, as there is such a list on the RetroTV website. Having said that, it's hard to see the point, as we'll always just be chasing that external web page. The ability of the Wikipedia user to find links to Wikipedia pages for all those channels is of dubious value, and might better be served with a category. --

Comment Reading these !votes makes me wonder if WP:NOTDIR could also apply to similar lists such as those featured in this template. 100.7.44.80 (talk) 19:34, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article really looks like a directory. Pranesh Ravikumar (talk) 01:52, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nomination. The article is an obvious case of WP:NOTDIRECTORY. TH1980 (talk) 03:01, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
