 * It looks like there are over a dozen programmes listed that have their own articles, plus many, many more that have been split off into separate sublists (see bottom of this list for links to those lists) that could be merged into one list. It is standard to index notable TV series by the originating broadcaster, so it seems to me that this list is at most a cleanup problem. postdlf (talk) 16:54, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Umm... maybe the remaining parts of the article can be moved to respective new articles, for example, currently list of programmes contain up to year 1999, and we can form new articles that cater to the respective dramas broadcast at the era. As for the upcoming dramas article, maybe we can help discuss with the people who deleted the previous article. If a consensus is NOT reached, then maybe we should keep the article. 2679D (talk) 01:06, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep The news and current affairs article has been deleted, so I see no reason for deleting. 2679D (talk) 08:40, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Precisely because the news and current affairs article has been deleted should we delete this one. Bonkers The Clown  (Nonsensical Babble) 11:01, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete This article seems to be a prima facie violation of WP:DIRECTORY. Programming evolves, 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.  Ohconfucius  ping / poke 08:40, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. This just seems excessive and largely unsourced. I could understand the relevance of a list of (notable) programmes made by a notable company, but simply listing every programme ever to be made and broadcast on a channel, many of which will never have articles, seems unencyclopedic. There may be case for applying some criteria for likely notability and trimming the list (some of these will surely have received enough coverage that an article could be written), which is why I'm a little hesitant to delete. --Michig (talk) 10:48, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
