List of XM Satellite Radio Channels
This page is not suitable for Wikipedia as it essential is a directory for XM Satellite radio, duplicating the information available off Wiki at. It also is only linked to one single page XM Satellite Radio and unlikely to be linked to elsewhere. It would be better if this were simply an external link on that page.

 * Keep. Notable
 * Delete. I'm inclined to think that individual XM channels are not notable in and of themselves, unless someone wants to convince me otherwise. Fernando Rizo T/C 17:55, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Why have a page which is basically a copy of the XM page?  A link in the main article to the external page would be of more value since it would always be correct.  Vegaswikian 05:43, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable enough. --DrTorstenHenning 15:31, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

 * (Comment) The subject is notable enough. Instead of relying on XM's list, I think it is not a bad idea to have an independent list that, as time goes by, will reflect changes, provide space for comments, and will never require some strange browser plug-ins. The XM Satellite Radio article is already quite long, so separating the list seems the right thing to do. --DrTorstenHenning 06:41, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The various generic genre channels of either this or its competetor Sirius Satellite Radio will never be notable enough to warrant forming an article around them. A common list of the syndicated radio channels available might be worth including as a separate article, with it indicating which sat radio providers carry them while the few unique and exclusive signature channels with original content created by XM or Sirius should simply be linked to from within each article with no need for a list.

 * (Comment). Radio channels that thousands of people listen to while driving millions of miles should be no more non-notable than Harry Potter paraphernalia or Pokemon characters that have watered down the standard of notability in Wikipedia. Once they are gone (which sadly will not happen), I would be the first to agree that a list of radio channels might disappear as well. And I think that the articles on the operators themselves are already long enough to warrant the separation of their signature channels into a separate list, which then is the natural place for the list of the syndicated channels as well. --DrTorstenHenning 06:46, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
