List of AT&T U-verse channels[edit]

List of AT&T U-verse channels → AT&T U-verse (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Reading WP:R#KEEP, somehow I am unsure if the history log is useful, but someone else finds this redirect page useful. Nonetheless, this was previously a list of cable channels that violated WP:NOTDIR and was previously deleted. Somehow, it was userfied, and then was nominated again for deletion. To make matters worse, it was prone to edit reverts, but they seldom happened, once in May and once in June. As for the prior content, the only content merged into AT&T U-verse was prose content. Again, with channels re-arranged over the years, I don't see why history must be kept besides being useful and leaving room for vandals. Also, the main target has no list of channels at this time; if there is, a list can be removed per WP:NOTDIR. George Ho (talk) 20:35, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the WP:Copying within Wikipedia-compliant attribution for this merge that persists through today, if not in the redirect's history? A valid deletion argument must be based on an understanding of WP:Merge and delete and this history excerpt. Flatscan (talk) 04:29, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- After merger, cleanup was made last year and early this year. Removed content must have been redundant list of old channel numbers. --George Ho (talk) 04:48, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - The removed Sports affiliations subsection/list probably falls under WP:Copying within Wikipedia#Where attribution is not needed. Flatscan (talk) 04:32, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - I removed the sports channel list because the content itself is unnecessary. Attribution is not close to the relevancy of the list. Also, adding channel numbers does not help matters. You don't see Verizon FiOS listing non-disputed channels. --George Ho (talk) 15:54, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. — K1, K2, K4 and K5 – potentially useful page history – harmless misnomer – risk breakage of incoming external links - found useful. – Paine Ellsworth ^CLIMAX! 00:44, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - No grounds of WP:RFD#DELETE. Potentially useful and contains history. The Whispering Wind (talk) 14:21, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
