List of Canadian television shows currently in production

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced and effectively unmaintainable list of television shows that are currently in production. Wikipedia should not, as a rule, maintain lists whose membership will be in a constant state of flux — with rare exceptions, such as List of current heads of state and government, lists should normally only be compiled on "once in, forever in" criteria rather than on transient characteristics. Just as an example of the problem, I can point out several entries on this list that aren't currently in production — and many more that are currently in production but haven't been listed here at all. Which I point out not because that problem isn't technically fixable — but because it speaks to how much attention is actually being paid to keeping the list accurate. The creator started with a partially inaccurate and incomplete list right off the bat, and only one new show has ever been added to it (and none of the cancelled shows have been removed) since.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Retitle to List of longest-running Canadian television series and re-focus Titling is completely wrong, and coming in I thought this was a fancrufter coming in and out to tell us when a show was filming or not, but it's just a list of the longest-running Canadian series inexplicably combined with a bunch of unupdated info and odd additions like The Drunk and On Drugs Happy Funtime Hour. Refocus towards long-running series, remove out-of-production shows and filler like That's Hockey only the scheduling department cares about and this is a simple job for WP:RESCUE.

 * Delete per nomination: the rescue measures being advocated might rescue, but they are tantamount to delete and writing a new article. I understand if some people really want to preserve the hard work of the original. I rather think the original is poorly conceived, unmaintained, and invites the impossible.

 * Delete: not of general reader interest (87 views in May). The benefit of this list to readers does not justify the constant maintenance of the list. Esquivalience t 14:46, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
