List of programs broadcast by Anime Network

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Nothing but a list of anime titles, with one line of OR. Purely a copy of the original. Wikipedia is not a mirror site for other websites, nor is it an electronic programming guide. This is not a "historically significant programme list." -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 19:11, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Categorise Better as a category, and WP isn't TV guide anyway. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  22:44, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I seriously doubt that categorization is the best course, or even a good one. Several anime series have been aired on multiple networks around the world. If we categorize these types of lists, then it will result in over-categorization. For example, Dragon Ball has been broadcast by at least 47 different networks. Are we going to put that article into 47 categorize, plus the 24 it is already in? On top of that, these types of categorize often get deleted through WP:CfD. (example Category:Adult Swim anime) --Farix (Talk) 02:46, 23 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Converting the list into a category is not an option since "categorizing TV shows on the basis of the networks to which they're syndicated is overcategorization". The list could be merged with Anime Network, but it'll end up being split again on account of WP:SIZE.--Nohansen (talk) 15:24, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Doesn't seem to fall into the "TV guide" area that we discourage. Lists can be used as content or as a navigational aid. -- Ned Scott 06:33, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: As Ned Scott says, this doesn't seem to be TV guide information, and is both a useful grouping and navigation aid. —Quasirandom (talk) 21:41, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
