List of programs broadcast by Geo Entertainment

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Another one that fails WP:NLIST. I removed everything that does not have a reference or a Wikipedia page and there are only three current original programs. Everything else falls under WP:NOTTVGUIDE. I did a WP:BEFORE in an attempt to find sourcing that talks about their programming as a whole and was unable to find anything reliable. I recommend a redirect of the name and maybe include the three current programs on the main Geo Entertainment page as an WP:ATD.

 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Television, Lists,  and Pakistan. Shellwood (talk) 22:18, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Merge with Geo Entertainment: As the latter article is too short to justify splitting its content. WP:NOTTVGUIDE. —  Saqib  ( talk  I  contribs ) 20:22, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: Standard split from the network. Redirect and merge is possible but those who wish it should imv verify what's redirecting to the list to avoid undue deletions if double redirects are created. Having spent too much time commenting and voting on similar Afds I will not make any further comments here. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  14:11, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Can point out the coverage where it "has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources?" --CNMall41 (talk) 15:57, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * ... Television Dramas and the Global Village Storytelling Through Race and Gender; Women and TV Culture in Pakistan, Gender, Islam and National Identity; Media Imperialism in India and Pakistan
 * contain passages that address the programming and content of the network as a set. Or this list. or this kind of pages. Or this kind of articles. Keep as a  standard split  as I'v repeated many times. See the category for those lists. I will not reply anymore as I've said multiple times on other Afd pages what I thought, and insisted a broader consensus should be established before nominating this type of pages (see Afd concerning Hum TV programming, where I had presented sources too, btw, but this too was ignored, so why bother?). So, again, I'll leave it at that even if there are questions, pings, comments, etc. And again size-wise, especially since users regularly perform drastic cuts before nominating pages, the merge is possible. I just don't think it is necessary. If it happens, I am inviting you again to check all redirects (I had done it last time, which you concurred was a concern but guess who checked the double redirects after all?) Good luck. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  16:34, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * And we are right back to NEWSORGINIDA. I only checked the first reference and didn't waste my time going deeper. bylined by "Instep Desk." --[[User:CNMall41|CNMall41] (talk) 16:43, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * After all, this rude reply deserves a final comment: so you ask me to provide sources although I said I had no time but don't even open all links and ignore the academic study and the books? Just like last time!!!  No comment on whether NEWSORGINDIA applies on the one source you opened, but hey. I hope the closer is an admin who will comment on your attitude. - My, oh my!  (Mushy Yank)  17:00, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Mushy Yank, I don't think there's anything rude here. Just be careful when using GUNREL sources to establish WP:GNG. — Saqib  ( talk  I  contribs ) 17:17, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * .....Thank you so much for your advice but that is clearly not the point, I'm afraid. Follow the sequence of events, please.
 * But since we're here, would you happen to have a link mentioning that The News International is considered generally unreliable ? I'll be careful and check again myself so as not to waste your time. Let me check ...Surprise! It's quite the opposite, it's considered generally reliable, is that not correct? (on a page you yourself created!!!) ? Again, that is not the point, but since I'm replying again, despite having said I wouldn't, I thought better to check again ..... as I had indeed (not only by checking the page you created (in your userspace) but also the noticeboard for reliable sources and the board for perennial sources, before posting it in the first place, mind you .....
 * But never mind. Even the NEWSORGINDIA thing is not the point; the issue is not reading the sources one has asked for! whatever they are; and I don't think you can discard them but again, that is not the point. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  17:59, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Wow. Don't jump to conclusions and before making claims a page you yourself created!, check the history of the page. The page was actually created by UPE sock farms to game the system, and I moved it to my user NS. How do you even know about this page? Are you in cahoots with them? — Saqib  ( talk  I  contribs ) 19:23, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry I had missed this. My bad, you didn't create it, it's in your user space and I thought it was your work. I apologise for thinking you had worked on that page! Will amend my comment. No comment on the rest of your reply but feel free to ask at the proper venue if that is a real concern. But to the point: The News International  is generally reliable, is it not?:D - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  19:49, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The News itself is RS, but as @CNMall41 pointed out, this specific coverage is not reliable for the reasons they explained. Therefore, it shouldn't count towards establishing GNG. Regarding feel free to ask at the proper venue if that is a real concern. Sure, I'll take it to the proper venue when and if I deem it necessary and when I've enough evidence to support my report. —  Saqib  ( talk  I  contribs ) 19:56, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Good. Still waiting for your apologies. And your point was "GUNREL", as you repeat below; so, no, it's not GUNREL, that's what I thought. QED. - My, oh my!  (Mushy Yank)  20:05, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The source dramaspice.net you cited is indeed  GUNREL. Oh, why on earth should I apologize to you? —  Saqib  ( talk  I  contribs ) 20:46, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Last-minute adjustment drifting from the precise topic of the original conversation :D but even then, I will reply. Maybe Dramaspice is not independent and should not be used and maybe, it is not a good source but that is not what WP:GUNREL stands for (not listed there, which is the precise point of GUNREL, not a description but a list established by a consensus). Or just don't user "GUNREL" but other wording then. And even pretending it was, that would leave us with 5 non-GUNREL sources that you ignore, :D, including a fully available academic article focusing on the programs as a set in a comparative study. But maybe you did not have the time to open it, and that's probably my fault.
 * As for why you should have apologised, I'm not the one who will explain that to you, I'm afraid. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  10:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I certainly do not see how that is rude. I am only responsible for what I say, not how you interpret it. What I was pointing out is you have a history of ignoring NEWSORGINDIA in AfD discussions. The News International is considered reliable yes, but not THIS PARTICULAR REFERENCE as it is clearly churnalism. Just like Forbes is considered generally reliable but sources written by non-staff writers in Forbes are not. Not sure how to make that any clearer. It is ad nauseam at this point to go further when the first source is just a repeat of the same argument. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:22, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * CNMall41, Not only has a history of disregarding NEWSORGINDIA in AfD's but also consistently relying on GUNREL sources to establish GNG. — Saqib  ( talk  I  contribs ) 19:27, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * This is a really nasty and undue comment.....so inappropriate. Hope you will apologise.... - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  19:52, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I have a history of ignoring WP:NEWSORGINDIA is an inappropriate comment here: but, please, do feel free to report me at the appropriate forum if you think I am of bad faith and that my input here and elsewhere (as you clearly assert) is disruptive. In the present case, I disagree with what I understand of your interpretation of that information page, an interpretation which is not the consensus, as far as I can see, and I simply do not understand your explanation (or lack thereof): "use of generic bylines not identifying an individual reporter " is one sign that a source might not be independent, not THE proof  that you cannot use it at all. But again, that was not my point, as you can see if you make the effort of reading me with attention; and I cannot see why you are focusing on that particular section of an information page when replying to the 6 sources mentioned.
 * And what I find rude, in case you really did not understand, in the present discussion, is the fact that even if I was not expecting thanks for providing sources at your request in an Afd you iniated, you blatantly and explicitly ignored all of them but one you discarded contemptuously (rightly so or not (not the point, again)) and continue to do so, as you don't even mention them... I'll leave it at that, now. I don't understand the end of your reply but I guess it does not really matter, as I finally give up, this time too. Again, I do hope the closing administrator will comment on this issue. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  19:40, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * There was no intent to be rude but I understand if you are concerned about the comment. I do not have an apology unfortunately but would recommend going to ANI should you feel my conduct is out of line.--CNMall41 (talk) 06:55, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
