 * The lack of sources is worrying, but oftentimes people at content to Wikipedia and simply don't source it, or a source is blacklisted and can't be added/gets removed, but I can't find anything (and don't know Maori) so one would probably have to search for individual shows and match them up with the mentioned dates, but I'm not sure if that would be notable enough for an article. --Donald Trung (Talk) (Articles) Respect mobile users. 09:49, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Why would you have to know Maori to source up an English language broadcaster in a predominantly English language country? Bearcat (talk) 22:59, 19 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep, lists of notable programs/series indexed by their originating network are standard and not the target of NOTTVGUIDE per longstanding (and repeatedly-tested) consensus (and per what I think is rather specific language at NOTTVGUIDE; the nomination here only gives us a WP:VAGUEWAVE regarding how that might apply here). We also categorize on the basis of original broadcast network, as it is considered a defining aspect of a television series. Category:Prime (New Zealand) programmes shows seven articles, which would seem enough to merit a complementary list that is already annotated with information the category cannot provide. Whether there are any additional valid entries, or this list includes entries that it should not, is a matter for normal editing and discussion to resolve. postdlf (talk) 16:30, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge to Prime (New Zealand). While sourcing improvement is needed here, lists of television series by network are not a WP:NOTTVGUIDE violation — it would be violating that if it were trying to list the current schedule as an alternative to a television listings magazine, but simply listing notable programs that have been produced by the network throughout its overall history is not a violation. What's more determinative here, however, is that this lists only eight shows, which isn't enough to really warrant a standalone list when there's also an embedded list already present at Prime (New Zealand). If there were a lot more shows in the list, then the one in the network's main article could be restricted to currently running shows and this one could take over the "complete historical list of everything" function. But for just eight, there's not really a compelling need to maintain both lists. No prejudice against spinning it back out in the future if somebody can put more work into it than this.
