List of The Real MacKay episodes

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The Real MacKay is one of two video blogs associated with regional news programme STV News at Six. It was was recently nominated for deletion along with this episode guide and the result was to merge into the parent article. However, the episode guide is too long to merge and in any case seems to me to be inappropriate content - WP:DIRECTORY only allows for historically significant programme lists and there is no suggestion this applies. As the article consists of just a list of episode summaries it appears also to fail WP:OR and WP:NOTWEBHOST. Therefore the episode list should be deleted, not merged.

The other video blog associated with the news programme also has a corresponding episode list so I am also nominating that - List of Northern Exposure (video blog) episodes - for deletion. I42 (talk) 08:23, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and due to lack of WP:RS. Dalejenkins | 11:17, 16 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Oppose and Keep The Real MacKay entry only had 2 people raise their points of view, it should never have been deleted. Scotlands biggest commerical station video blogs are notable. I can add in sources and reference if need be.--Roadblocker (talk) 23:51, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The article was merged - not deleted - but no no third party references show any notability, nor could I find any. This specific AfD is not about the articles for the blogs but about the episode guides - which I assert fail to establish notability, fail to show historical significance and are entirely original work. IMO there is a place on the web for these guides, but using Wikipedia for this purpose inappropriate. If you do address these concerns I will happily withdraw the nomination.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete and undelete The reasonable course seems to be to restore the article on the blog, but delete this list. A list of episodes of a newscast is over-exhaustive detail, exactly what is meant by WP is not a TV Guide. DGG (talk) 02:49, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree that as the AfD for Northern Exposure (video blog) closed as keep, merging The Real MacKay per its own Afd is inconsistent, and I have taken it to DRV recommending that it be reinstated. I42 (talk) 21:37, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The Real MacKay has now been reinstated. I42 (talk) 07:52, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
