 * Err .. Wikipedia is not a TV guide. John Vandenberg (chat) 07:27, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete This info could be covered via a list/category of Australian daytime TV programs (a list could give info on broadcasting dates/scheduling/channel), but a page per year seems excessive. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:00, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. JohnCD (talk) 10:42, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep As I said at AfD2, "national network schedules are notable-- if only as a navigational guide for the various articles on the shows. The distinction that should be made is national/local, as in so many areas of notability. I further think there is probably press coverage on the general nature of the schedule--there certainly is on the placement of individual shows within it. This doesn't fall under not directory, or not TV Guide, because it includes only the general outline of the schedule--a TV guide would give the details of the week-to-week changes"  DGG ( talk ) 16:04, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Per DGG. Keeping such articles about the schedule (as opposed to daily programming) is consistent with WP:NOT . This is not "TV Guide," which says what the program's episode will be on a particular day. In a given country, the network TV schedules have typically been discussed in more depth in books, magazines, and newspaper media columns, than mere listings of the days programming. The schedule is a strategic choice of what program leads into a given program, and what the competition is in a time slot. Edison (talk) 17:10, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a scrap of encyclopedic value. Would anybody seriously suggest placing anything like this in Britannica? or any other encyclopedia for that matter? This article is a TV Guide, pure and simple, and it doesn't belong in Wikipedia. --RexxS (talk) 22:54, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Wikipedia is not a defunct paper encyclopedia, and whether you would find something in Britannica, Compton's or Funk & Wagnalls is not an appropriate standard for judging notability here. A "TV Guide" would tell you what happens in the episode this week in every program, and has no bearing on an article about the actual weekly schedule. Edison (talk) 23:06, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: What makes the 2009 season notable, when we have no articles on the remaining seasons on this template? Eleven of the TV seasons red-linked on the template were deleted as a result of deletion discussions: 1957, 1958, 1966, 1972, 1975, 1977, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1990, and 1993. Looks like the only reason this article still exists is because a different person closed the deletion discussion. -- Dianna (talk) 03:12, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment "OTHERSTUFFDOESN'TEXIST" is a pretty weak argument for deletion of this article. Edison (talk) 04:28, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Retort "OTHERCRAPWASDELETEDBUTTHISWASMISSEDSOTHERESPRECEDENTFORNUKINGTHISPIG" is a pretty compelling reason to keep me from adding gradients to this sow's ear. Br&#39;er Rabbit (talk) 04:53, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete No encyclopedic content, interpretation or analysis. Title is also misleading, as it states it's based on Sydney and Melbourne, not the other cities (and Australian networks aren't always the same nationwide), and it's only the "autumn & spring schedules", not all of 2009. What's wrong with Summer and Winter?  What about the non-ratings periods?  Why isn't "Daytime" in the title?  I guess Autumn and Spring 2009 Daytime Sydney and Melbourne network television schedule (weekday) is a bit too long? The-Pope (talk) 14:15, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. I do not see TV schedules as inherently notable and despite the above assertions that sources will probably exist, no independent sources have been provided and the only reference in the article is non-independent TV guide. Jenks24 (talk) 05:07, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
