Fox Family[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article has been nominated because the contents are already included in Television networks preceding ABC Family. The article also infers that Fox Family is a standalone network when it was in point of fact an iteration of the existing cable channel now known as ABC Family (soon to become Freeform). As a result, a merger into either of the two mentioned articles is not necessary, and there is no justification to keeping the nominated article in any other event.

Keep. None of these are adequate reasons to delete a sourced article. The article could be better, but this was a channel that was sold for $5.3 billion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.95.148.249 (talk • contribs)
Revert to this revision from November 2014. The result of a series of unnecessary edits done by Nelvana98 put this article into this position; prior to them, a disambig was in place at this position, which can be restored. --Shiningpikablu252 (talk) 21:32, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Revert to disambiguation page which existed until April 2015's poor edits in which the dab page was overwritten without any replacement navigation. This was done by a brand-new editor who edited this and ABC Family, and tried to create the duplicating The Family Channel(US TV Network) [sic] in one burst of editing on 19 April and has not edited since then. Any appropriate novel content can be added to Television_networks_preceding_ABC_Family#Fox_Family or a new article created at Fox Family Channel which currently redirects there. If someone wants to argue that the tv channel is the Primary Topic for "Fox Family" then they should do so formally, rather than just obliterate the existing dab page.

- For the record, the content in the article was actually copied directly from an earlier version of the Fox Family section in the Television networks preceding ABC Family page, which has been expanded upon since then in the latter article, so there may not be any substantive content that can easily be transferred to that article since it is already featured there.

Revert to disambiguation page. older ≠ wiser 10:32, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge Fox Family is already mentioned in the ABC Family (soon to be Freeform) article, so there's no need for a Fox Family article. Mr. Slinks (talk) 03:15, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Revert per Shiningpikablu252. I previously edited that disambiguation page and was quite surprised just now to see it crudely overwritten in this fashion. As TVtonightOKC notes, there's probably nothing in this page currently worth saving. — Scott • talk 00:20, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
