Fails WP:LISTN. We are not a TV directory. Furthermore, the article has both COI and undisclosed paid tags which I'm not sure could be easily resolved, which warrants a WP:TNT. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 18:41, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep plenty of blue linked entries so useful as a navigation guide, no promotionalism so upe/coi is not an issue, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 19:07, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - this is a defined list of notable topics with a common theme. matt91486 (talk) 09:35, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge all 3 Mediacorp Channel 8 pages and remove unnecessary fields. Category:Lists of television series by network shows that lists of series broadcast by network/channel is something that is allowed on en.wiki, however if List of programs broadcast by American Broadcasting Company can do this in one page, then there is no reason why Mediacorp Channel 8 needs 3 and it definitely does not need to list number of episodes or cast. --Gonnym (talk) 11:44, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Perfectly happy with such a merge. matt91486 (talk) 19:32, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge all to List of programmes broadcast by Mediacorp Channel 8 and de-cruft There is no godforsaken reason a television network/channel needs more than one list of page for all their programming, nor do they need division by decade.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 00:30, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge all (4): Per user's Nate, Gonnym, and Matt91486. Something needs to be done as List of Mediacorp Channel 8 Chinese drama series (2000s) shows to be an hourly listing with "9pm drama series" and "7pm drama series" sections that indicates theoretically there could be 22 more hours added. If we are not becoming a TV guide then there needs to be some "de-crufting", reorganizing, or general fixing. I agree that List of programmes broadcast by Mediacorp Channel 8 would be a good target.

 * Merge all. We do tend to allow "lists of television programs broadcast by network", not to serve as a programming guide but to serve as a navigational index to help people find Wikipedia articles — but there's no need to create or maintain multiple separate lists for each individual type of programming broadcast by the same television network. The pie does not need to be sliced that narrowly — one master list is sufficient in this case. Bearcat (talk) 18:23, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
