List of programs broadcast by MyNetworkTV

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete per many, many precedents for not posting articles listing shows on a specific network/channel when they can appear on many different channels. Also, this improperly sourced article states what is "expected" (see WP:CRYSTAL for why that's bad) and what's current without specifying as of when. Wryspy 09:18, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Or at least merge it somewhere. Just don't leave it as a standalone article! --Gwern (contribs) 20:01 23 September 2007 (GMT)
 * Delete Usually I would be inclined to keep this list, but in this case the program history of the network is already within the body of the MyNetworkTV article, so this is duplicating what's in the main article. That, and most of the specials cited within the list are pretty much the equivalent of Dateline NBC special episodes and something like Circus of the Stars 1986, along with the network 'rebooting' this year and abandoning what they did last year (telenovelas etc.) fully.

 * Keep Article has been improved since my last vote, and the speculative content has now been removed. It now looks much better to me, and specials and regular programming are broken apart better than they had been. Nate 21:25, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This prior discussion would be the better precedent. As a broadcaster, with original programming, I see no difference here.   Content problems such as poor sources can be fixed, including expected programming, or lack of dates.  This network isn't Same with duplicating content in main article.  I'd advocate removing that and improving this article.  As a national network (even if a small one) with a fair amount of coverage, they're certainly going to merit an article, and their specific programs should be covered, but as such is likely to clutter up the main article, it's best to spin it off.  Deletion, however, doesn't make sense, unless you care to apply the same standard to all other pages.  68.101.18.250 02:55, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per prior wide consensus reached at Articles for deletion/Lists of programs broadcast by networks. I'm not sure to what "many, many precedents" the nominator is referring; the only "precedent" I am aware of is Articles for deletion/List of Sci Fi Channel (United States) programs, which was restored by a Deletion review based on the wider consensus reached to keep such articles, a consensus which is also demonstrated by the existence of many more such lists in this navigation template. There is no crystal ballery here, all future programming announcements have been published in reliable sources, including The Orange County Register and The Futon Critic, which I have added as references to the article.

 * Update the article now specifies "as of when". I really wish that people wouldn't cite reasons which could be fixed by simple editing to support deletion. DHowell 21:54, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
