The result was   delete. Mandsford !vote needs consideration and probably some wider discussion should be started to determine whether such articles should exist in general or for only specific countries/days/subjects/etc. Unfortunately for him, the consensus in this AFD is pretty much unanimously in favor of deletion, so there was no way to close this any other way.

Fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE. We are not an indiscriminate collection of information. Previous consensus on this sort of thing was fairly clear - see this, this and this. Ironholds (talk) 13:45, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:53, 23 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Pretty colours, though. JohnCD (talk) 15:22, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep I don't see any reason to treat Down Under differently than the U.S. of A. Since examples of previous consensus are being cited as setting some type of precedent, then see this and this and this.  My recollection is that when American television schedules have been nominated, the consensus on that sort of thing is clear, only it's in the opposite direction.

 * Delete as per my previous comments - Australia did not have national TV networks in the 70s.The-Pope (talk) 12:09, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I wasn't there, but my understanding is that there were networks starting in the early 1960s, and that whatever was on Channel 9 in Melbourne would be on Channel 9 in Sydney, and that the same company would take Channel 9 when going into a new area. I don't know if the "Nine Network" and the "Seven Network" etc. owned stations around Australia, but assuming that they did, I would be surprised if they had left it up to each affiliate to make its own programming.  In American television of that era and later, the general rule was that there is network programming in morning and afternoon blocks (news, game shows and soap operas), and local programming (syndicated shows and local news and kids' shows)  during the noon hour and late afternoon.
