List of DirecTV channels 300–399 (United States)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This is a batch nomination. I had prodded some but people didn't like the idea it was piecemeal. 38 articles in total. They are all "List of [Satellite provider] channels x-x".

This is classic almanac and not a directory territory. Moreover it's a straight duplication of List of DirecTV channels (United States), but without the text or context that makes it an encyclopedia article. There are similar articles I believe for other country listings too. Let's keep them all in the same place. Breaking this up like this makes no sense, creates a logistical nightmare, and is outside of policy. Shadowjams (talk) 08:25, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge properly  because the material is more useful that way.   it is however not correct   that all these are straight duplications: the lower numbered ones such as List of DirecTV channels 1-199 (United States) are in more detail; the later ones are apparently prepared for expansion. But if all the information could be gotten in one list, that   would be satisfactory. This is really just a merge discussions--that discussion can be appropriate here also. Many merge discussions are really matters of style and user convenience, and this is one of them.  I agree with the nom that this is classic almanac territory; as Wikipedia is not a conventional encyclopedia ,but includes many elements of almanacs, that's no argument against having it here also.

 * "Delete all' Classic violation of not directory, and I'm not at all convinced we should have List of DirecTV channels (United States) either. How is any of this notable for an encyclopaedia, and not Directv's website? Courcelles (talk) 00:31, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy close The articles have already been merged and redirected to List of DirecTV channels (United States) and List of Dish Network channels in the United States, which are not part of this discussion, and thus must be retained for proper attribution history.
