List of notable television programs

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Combination of indiscriminate information and loosely associated topics with unclear inclusion criteria that appears to be completely arbitrary. The title bears no relevance to the contents as the lists starts with Aaron Spelling and Regis Philbin, neither of whom are television programs. The intro bears no relevance either, suggesting it's a list of longest running TV shows. It's just a few bits of miscellaneous trivia. Saikokira 23:28, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - I think this list's inclusion criteria are so vague it doesn't even know what it's doing. I mean, it says "This is a list of longest running TV shows, by category. It also includes information on record breaking shows."  That's pretty vague.  However, it then lists a bunch of people, then a bunch of commercials, then a bunch of random facts.  --Haemo 23:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not for lists of loosely associated facts. In addition, as per Haemo, this list doesn't even know what it's doing. And really, even if it did follow the rules, wouldn't a list of notable TV programs be five miles long? TV's only been around since the 1930s you know.

 * That impossible task is being attempted at List of television programs by name. Saikokira 00:00, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete this grab bag of television trivia. --Bongwarrior 08:28, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: A short, useless article that touches on rather random facts about trivia and blah. And yeah, it can't be complete, because it would then be too long. RaNdOm26 11:19, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - too broad and subjective. Metamagician3000 12:01, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
