List of Fox Christmas television episodes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seemingly non-notable list. Specific in scope, but very inclusive and abundant in extent and with no references. - MrX 22:51, 24 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete WP:IINFO looks controlling. There's no real attempt made to justify why this list is in fact notable, it's just an indiscriminate list of Christmas television episodes from a particular broadcaster.  Most of these shows already have pages and there are plenty of places to find television episodes that are notable in culture for their relationship with Christmas, this is just other context reshuffled with a dash of WP:OR for flavor.

 * Delete Easily meets WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Not even an attempt by the article creator to list the network's Christmas specials, and there are sure to be many episodes on this list which are just regular episodes with a tree in the background and 'Happy Holidays' at the end.

 * Delete as indiscriminate information. No sources are provided to indicate that differentiating Christmas episodes of television series by the network on which they appeared is a notable method of distinguishing them, or that Christmas episodes on Fox are a distinct topic from Christmas episodes on ABC or NBC or CBS. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:02, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually the editor also created an article each for ABC, CBS and NBC's "Christmas episodes", of which the original research seems to be "Christmasy title+December airing date=Christmas episode". MrX should consider adding those articles to this nom for the same reasons.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 06:42, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It's probably not appropriate to add nominations to an ongoing AfD discussion, but someone could start a new one for the remaining group. - MrX 12:37, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. I don't think this is WP:INDISCRIMINATE, which applies to plot summaries, lyrics databases and statistics. Purely from the meaning of the term, it is also not indiscriminate. In fact, it seems it was quite carefully put together. The real issue, in my view, is that it's not notable. Under WP:LISTN, the subject must be covered as a group of things. I'm not convinced that such coverage in reliable sources exist after doing a search. There seem to be program listings some years for Christmas shows, but these are mainly on unreliable sources and in any event don't amount to significant coverage. --Batard0 (talk) 12:05, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as trivia; I can't see any encyclopedic purpose to grouping together all Christmas episodes that happen to have aired on the same network, regardless of the show or time period. A list of all notable individual Christmas-themed episodes or specials would be a different matter. postdlf (talk) 15:43, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
