Unusual list duplicates LA TV without imparting much new material. Page is orphaned. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:07, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete 100% duplicative of the template; we have WP:NMEDIALIST which rules this out as an article (and should be revisited, as the 'Media in (community)' articles have been slow to update, magnets for fair-use violations, and no united article template).  Nate  • ( chatter ) 03:06, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:CLN explains that lists, categories and other forms of navigation such as templates are complementary and so the existence of one is not a reason to delete another format. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:27, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment NMEDIALIST overrules CLN in this use case; we have a template that shows the same information in a transcluded form across all Los Angeles television articles rather than this one which has no incoming links.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 04:47, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per Mrschimpf ~ Shushugah (he/him • talk) 15:46, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. WP:NMEDIALIST is essay-level, and for good reason. It may well be worth having these sorts of articles in our encyclopedia; we're not limited by paper space constraints and they provide valuable information to someone trying to use Wikipedia as a reference book for these things. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 05:43, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment As noted, the entire article is duplicated by Template:LA TV, thus the data provided already exists on a much more scalable form.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 00:07, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * @Mrschimpf Unfortunately navigation templates are not rendered for mobile viewers. Always a good time to make some noise in ... 00:14, 13 September 2021 (UTC) ~ Shushugah (he/him • talk) 00:14, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Spirit of Eagle (talk) 05:03, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CLN. It's a useful navigation page. WP:NMEDIALIST is not a policy and does not have wide community support.4meter4 (talk) 18:13, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment why isn't this part of Media in Los Angeles? If the low-power stations are added there, this can be a redirect to that page. User:力 (power~enwiki,  π,  ν ) 03:17, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
