WP:NOT a guide, above article is a clone up for delete as well. Pharmboy 01:07, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep with some reservations. It's a new article, so I'd like to give it time to develop.  Depending on a network's notability, such a list can be entirely appropriate, either within the main network article or as a content fork. Shalom Hello 01:12, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I'm going with weak keep. While it seems fairly notable, It needs a lot of work before even being a B class article.  Wikidudeman  (talk) 01:14, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment This article seems needlessly redundant to the more inclusive List of programmes broadcast by C4, but it is possibly distinctive enough to survive on its own. FrozenPurpleCube 01:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment It isn't about clean, I thought that program guides were an automatic no-no. We just deleted similar material.  Program guides are handy, but are not encycopedia material.  Pharmboy 01:22, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Would you mind linking to the discussion of this deleted material? It would help to know what you're talking about.  And no, program guides are not an automatic no-no.  See the previous AFD I linked and even this one.  It's not quite as absolute a prohibition as you might think.  FrozenPurpleCube 01:41, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * comment I would disagree with the result of that particular link. Many interpret the policy as no guides.  It is a tabled list with little to no context, which is pretty much a guide.  You and I just disagree on the threshold is all.  That isn't going to change.  Pharmboy 02:13, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, no, not if you come across without offering any kind of explanation of your position, and dismiss the existing consensus out of hand. It's one thing to disagree, but if you're not articulating why you disagree, it's not very helpful.  Me, I think there's an obvious acceptance of the value of pages that list programs by their broadcast network.  Such is a valid organization tool, the same as say, books by a particular author is helpful.  Now as far as it goes, I'm not sure this page is a good idea on its own.  "being broadcast" implies a bit of currency that wouldn't be as well served as simply listing by date in single article such as List of programmes broadcast by C4.

 * Delete, prior consensus is that Wikipedia is not a program guide. Corvus cornix 23:39, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
