List of programs broadcast by Radio Mindanao Network

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article fails WP:NOT. Wikipedia is not a directory and Wikipedia articles are notDirectories, directory entries or a electronic program guide. For example, an article on a radio or TV station station should not list current program schedules, etc. A list of all the phone numbers in New York would be useful, but is not included because Wikipedia is not a directory. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so many useful things that do not belong in an encyclopedia are excluded. Hu12 (talk) 13:27, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*Speedy keep. Selective application of Wikipedia policy. This is a routine "List of programs broadcast by Foo" article. -- Howard  the   Duck  14:30, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep same reason with AFD nomination for List of programs broadcast by Radio Philippines Network. -Danngarcia (talk) 14:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Also fails Lists "However, as Wikipedia is optimized for readers over editors, any lists which exist primarily for development or maintenance purposes (such as a list of red link articles needed) should be in project or user space not the main space, if the list is not otherwise encyclopedic."--Hu12 (talk) 14:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Philippine sources are hard to find, especially for old TV programs and TV programs that didn't air either on ABS-CBN or GMA. -- Howard  the   Duck  14:49, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete or merge to DWKC-TV. This station is too minor to be notable. -- Howard  the   Duck  15:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment for an individual station., Hu12 is perfectly correct, but we have often kept lists of network programming. It would seem this would be justified if it really is a major network. I cant really tell from the article.DGG (talk) 02:40, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * This is a minor network. Its channel assignment is in the UHF band. -- Howard  the   Duck  03:05, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - the current scope of the list is the programming for one TV station, DWKC-TV. That makes the list a program guide.   Th e Tr ans hu man ist    01:21, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
