 * Keep Nonsense deletion reason. Known channel in the MENA region from popular media company.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 20:09, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Per WP:BCAST


 * most television stations that produce original content should be presumed notable for Wikipedia purposes. It doesn't produce original content
 * Its not a TV network, we are talking about a channel on the network. beIN Channels Network is notable. This article isn't, and if not deleted should be redirected back to parent article. NOTINHERITED. My rationale is nonsense my foot. L3X1 (distant write)  20:53, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep:
 * The vast majority of television stations serve a large regional market, often covering millions of households. beIN Series covers a large area; it is available in more than 23 countries.
 * Because of the public interest served, most television stations that produce original content should be presumed notable for Wikipedia purposes. The channel produces original content (via Miramax, a subsidiary of beIN Media Group), and broadcasts exclusive foreign programing in the MENA region, which makes it clearly "original".
 * beIN Series has sister channels in Turkey (beIN Series (Turkey)). A merge between the two pages can be an alternative solution, if sources do not exist at all . — Sincerely Issimo 15 21:44, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Nom. Comment I feel like parrot, so to avoid BLUDGEON I'll only say this one last time: This is a channel, not a TV network. L3X1 (distant write)  22:11, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay but NBROADCAST explicitly covers both stations and networks, including national or regional cable channels. So I'm not sure that's a pertinent distinction in this case. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:25, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
