List of TV programs using outside broadcast (1950-90)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This list is entirely unsourced, and it is unclear that it is a significant feature of the programs listed that they used outside broadcast techniques (essentially outdoor video-tape recording) rather than film. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:43, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Although I don't see the harm in having this around, it quite obviously falls under WP:LISTCRUFT. Drewmutt ( ^ᴥ^ ) talk  17:23, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete, does not meet WP:LISTN, irrelevant that a couple of episodes/or a scene of a tv program was broadcast out of studio, see essay on listcruft. Coolabahapple (talk) 00:57, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete as WP:LISTCRUFT and as failing WP:LISTN. (FWIW, without even trying I can think of six major OBs, one of them recurring, which are missing from the list.) Narky Blert (talk) 11:41, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:LISTCRUFT and rather unreliable sourcing. Ajf773 (talk) 12:01, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Note:I have seen plenty of harsh statements in the case of deleting my article for the reasons of lack of information. I have done extensive research for the past several months, checking what programs used OB filming and when these particular shows/ programs used OB, now their seem to be a conflict of interest how I should display them. Currently I mark them as All Episodes, the Series' numbers, Most Episodes', 'Some Episodes and 'Some OB inserts', they may seem ambiguous but I had to leave it like this due to a number of reasons. For example with some long running shows like EastEnders, The Sky at Night, Blue Peter and Coronation Street it is hard to pin down when exactly episodes used OB exteriors due to the large amount of episodes produced which sometimes stretch off into the thousands, and quite often due to the lack of archive information or records on the internet, I have been prevented from adding more details. This is why I have left those sections with only a summary of information, rather than include an extensive list of details that would be (a) be too much information for the reader to take in and (b) prone to mistakes due to lack of reliable information from existing sources. With this article I have been trying to show an accurate record of the various shows in the UK that have used OB up until 1990 when it became more wide-spread in usage among TV programs in this country. I also wanted to show the reader how increasingly TV programs utilised OB filming, despite the prevalence of shooting exteriors on film at the time.Goldmic90 (talk) 17:32, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: It is clear you have deeply researched this topic, and put a great deal of effort into this list. Unfortunately, it is often the case at Wikipedia that the minutiae that some users find fascinating are not really deemed to be generally encyclopedic content. The term ListCruft refers to such lists: possibly very interesting to a very narrow group of users, but not useful in a general encyclopedia. You might consider publishing your work on Wikia which is a website specifically dedicated to providing the sort of fan-specific information you've provided here.

 * Comment: I'm disappointed it has come to this, to be frank Wikipedia seems to be a place where certain subjects of interest are prevented, even if it's of technical areas like Outside Broadcast filming, whilst other niche subject matters are allowed, despite the small audience it would attract. It is far too overly regimented for it's own sake, and I won't be publishing new articles on Wikipedia any time soon.
