 * Keep Similar efforts to delete historic US television schedules in the basis of WP:NOTTVGUIDE have failed, since that guideline says "historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable." TV Guide helps you choose what to watch out of the programs which are going to be available to watch, now or in the future. No one is going to try and use a 2010 schedule to try to decide what to watch. I do not have the ability to read Greek writings about television programming decisions, but in the US case there is quite a bit of reliable sourcing with discussion of how scheduling decisions aided or hurt viewership of programs. Having  block of comedy or drama on a given evening helped create "must see TV" in the era before Netflix binge watching and digital VCRs.  Putting a popular program up against  some ultra-popular show might be its death knell.The history of what programs were broadcast on what nights, at what time, against what competition, is a notable part of modern culture.

 * -while you're certainly over-stating the importance of such articles, look at what currently exists at 2009–10 Greek television schedule. It includes one block, without running dates or deviation. It includes "various programming." I see no encyclopedic value, nor could I imagine any. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia  ᐐT₳LKᐬ  16:47, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Notwithstanding Edison's explanation (which works for the American schedules because we require deep sourcing and maintenance on that series of articles), this is a truly abandoned article. We have no other "20XX–XX Greek television schedule" articles, and this was the last edit ever by the article creator. The only edits since that first one are mainly category changes and coloring with zero attempt by anybody to source the article. It only links out to international product; not one domestic series has a link out in this article, which means it is an orphan article by most definitions. Most of all, we have only the morning schedule for this article. This claims it has the entire Greek broadcast schedule for the entire season. That didn't happen by any stretch of the imagination, and we're not keeping an article that is only a quarter complete.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 16:58, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Unsoured trivia. TV schedules, past or present, still fail WP:NOTTVGUIDE. Ajf773 (talk) 18:55, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete This isn't documenting a historically notable programming block like Must See TV, and reads more like just a TV listing. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 00:50, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
