- Delete - a list of programmes is not encyclopedic. JMWt (talk) 21:39, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - While I would agree with deleting this particular article, considering it doesn't cite a single reference nor do any of the programs have their own article, as well as the fact it is horribly out of date, I disagree with the blanket statement "a list of programmes is not encyclopedic". There are dozens of articles that list programs airing on a network (List of programs broadcast by NBC, ABC, Bravo to name a few examples) that link to articles and/or reference titles. -- Whats new?(talk) 05:16, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- I know that there are a whole load of other similar pages. Personally, I don't consider this to be a particularly useful argument in AfD discussions as per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and would !vote delete for all of those as well. As you've stated, the problem is that they rapidly go out of date anyway, so are pretty useless even in their own terms. A list of TV programmes with no particular reason to suggest that they're notable is not encyclopedic in my opinion. WP: NOTTVGUIDE. JMWt (talk) 07:19, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- Understand but respectfully disagree with you on other pages, however I do agree that in this particular case, this article should be deleted because it has NOT ONE citation, either on the article itself or through any wikilinks. -- Whats new?(talk) 07:53, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
