Contested prod. This article seems to be a prima facie violation of WP:DIRECTORY. Although programming evolves, the vast majority of Disney channels around the world carry the basically same programming in various configurations, and I fail to see how this article has any encyclopaedic value whether as a historical record or as a list of current programmes being broadcast.

 * Keep Standard form of list found on Wikipedia. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 00:20, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Question: Why aren't other 300+ articles of Category:Lists of television series by network also nominated here? §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 17:02, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * A valid distinction is whether the network airs original programming or simply re-airs series produced for other networks. So simply insisting we treat all such lists the same is not a compelling argument here when there are reasons for not treating them the same.

 * The network airs original shows. Examples: Best of Luck Nikki is adaptation of Good Luck Charlie, The Suite Life of Karan & Kabir is adaptation of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Ishaan, Kya Mast Hai Life, Dhoom Machaao Dhoom are altogether different shows (probably). §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 04:26, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep, per my previous rationale at Articles for deletion/List of programmes broadcast by Disney Channel in the UK & Ireland. The nominator's claim that "the vast majority of Disney channels around the world carry the basically same programming" doesn't appear to be borne out by the list itself, which contains many India-specific programs such as Dhoom Machaao Dhoom, Vicky & Vetaal, Akkad Bakkad Bambey Bo, Kya Mast Hai Life, Shararat Thoda Jaadu Thodi Nazaakat, Karishma Kaa Karishma, Agadam Bagdam Tigdam, Son Pari, etc. If the cable channel was actually a straight rebroadcaster of Disney Channel content, I'd !vote to merge, but that is not the case, and many of the programs that Disney Channel India broadcasts are obviously India-specific.
