List of digital television stations in Canada

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

This list is an unnecessary duplication of existing content. To clarify, Canadian television is not divided into stations that broadcast in digital and those that don't; while analog shutoff isn't happening quite as soon in the United States, a transition to all-digital broadcasting for all stations is already underway. There's no real need to maintain a separate list to distinguish "stations which have already launched their digital transmitters" from "stations which will be launching their digital transmitters in 2009 or 2010" — at its best, such a list is only temporarily useful and will officially become wholly redundant with List of television stations in Canada by call sign approximately 700 days from now. Such information can simply be integrated directly into the existing lists of Canadian television stations; we don't need a separate list for it. Delete as an unnecessary content fork.

 * Merge per the suggestion given by the nom. If this were a list of digital cable networks, then it would make sense as a delination does exist undet that criteria, but I agree a separate list is redundant. 23skidoo (talk) 04:47, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
