List of programmes broadcast by Disney Channel in the UK & Ireland

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested prod. This article seems to be a prima facie violation of WP:DIRECTORY. Although programming evolves, the vast majority of Disney channels around the world carry the basically same programming in various configurations, and I fail to see how this article has any encyclopaedic value whether as a historical record or as a list of current programmes being broadcast.

 * Delete - not useful, pretty indiscriminate, essentially per nom. Claritas § 00:23, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep Despite my exhaustion with this article and trying to keep it from being turned into a hype page for the network with the not needed 'upcoming' heading which is just a fan-inserted WP:ADVERT, I see none of the concerns addressed by the nominator. It's a standard list of programming and the UK/I schedule is different than the American version because of UK/I also having more original programming than most Disney networks, which just get a basic schedule of 90% American programming. Of course another concern is deletion will be moot since this cannot possible merged into the main channel page and will just end up in some re-creation loop infinitely by network fans who won't get the point. Unless every 'List of programs on network' article is killed here, it'll be expected naturally that a network has an accompanying 'LOPON' article to go with it.

 * Keep Although articles like these are a magnet for vandals and obsessives, if there's going to be a further 'bonfire of the articles' then there are hundreds of other articles that would need to be nominated alongside this one. A great deal of useful 'list' articles have already been purged in a wildly incoherent and uneven manner, and I'm not a fan of the technique of repeatedly re-nominating articles over and over again until a deletion becomes possible. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS does not excuse the situation but it should be a clear indication that the discussion needs to be much wider than any individual article.

 * Keep. Like Bonusballs, I'm not fond of the concept of repeatedly nominating these types of articles, in the hopes that one will finally "stick", thus justifying mass deletion of all of them. I see no evidence of the nominator's claim that "vast majority of Disney channels around the world carry the basically same programming". Indeed, this list contains series such as I Got a Rocket, The Toothbrush Family, and Ratz, which appear to be non-Disney productions from Australia and Canada that were acquired by Disney Channel UK; if the broadcaster was a straight rebroadcaster of US Disney Channel material, I'd !vote to merge, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

 * It does seem to be a common misconception amongst American editors that the international versions of US channels must therefore show identical shows and programming - but as has been indicated, this is not the case and the differences in many cases can be significant, e.g. shows that air on Nickelodeon in America can air on Disney in Europe, or on independent channels in the UK and other countries. Bonusballs (talk) 22:17, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know that the misconception is limited to American editors, but I otherwise agree that it's a harmful misconception and care must be taken in these debates to avoid sweeping generalizations like "the vast majority carry the basically same programming", etc. Indeed, the same deletion rationale was made in Articles for deletion/List of Disney Channel India series, while the list itself obviously has many examples of India-specific programs, starting with the third item down.
