WP:NOTTVGUIDE. Recently it's been a magnet for unsourced additions. Prior to nominating I requested input at the Television Wikiproject Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television, and the single reply supported deleting it. NE Ent 01:16, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep, but only with a major reduction down solely to the network's original and WGN-TV-originated programming, removing syndicated dramas, sitcoms and movie block brandings. The issue with the IP adds (as it has been for eons) is 'fantasy TV vandals' trying to add their preferred sitcom/drama repeats to the article, and frankly that's of interest to few and outside of those doing deep searching back to its start in 1979, nigh unsourceable, where it's darned easier to reduce it just to original shows. Also, it's been one persistent IP that's been doing the vandalism here which has been blocked for two weeks (and will be undoubtedly re-blocked in two weeks and one minute from then); still a reduction may be better for all of our sanity.

 * Keep as it is a national television network. But the title of the article should be changed to reflect the exact scope of the list - List of original programs broadcast by WGN America or List of original and syndicated programs broadcast by WGN America, etc. The contributors to the article can decide its scope.
