40 Greatest Men of Country Music

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

None of these are notable programs. The only sources are from CMT proper or press releases announcing the show's debut, followed by the actual lists presented by the show. Granted, CMT is a fine network, but these were just one-off lists, and who knows what criteria they used to determine who is the best? There's almost nothing that can be said about these shows besides that CMT aired them and that they gave this list.

 * Delete all per TenPound. Programs of this nature -- the "100 ____est _____s of all time" -- abound on television, particularly during sweeps months.  They're cheap to put together, they sell well on ad time, and there's a little bit of suspense over who the "X" network will declare to be #1 at the moment.  Because of this, it's a certainty that CMT will do another set of these in a few years.  It's entertaining, but it's not encyclopedic.  I think I've seen the greatest singer of all time selected many, many times.  Mandsford (talk) 15:21, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete all. I can add nothing to Mandsford's excellent synopsis. Stifle (talk) 15:44, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
