List of television comedies without laugh tracks
This article is yet another bloody smeggy list and as all the lists I have found seems to be in violation of both No original research and What Wikipedia is not. The article has a brief introduction followed by list with various subdivisions. The article also lists only English language programmes from four countries - the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom - and focuses mainly on American programmes. I am sure there are programmes in the other hundred sixty some odd countries that are comedies without laugh tracks. Also I really do not see how this article can ever be verified as either complete or accurate and I can even think of a few that are not on the list.03:57, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * As I said in the above AfD, keep and rename to List of television comedies without laugh tracks in the United States; it helps the reader navigate through articles of a related topic, thus fullfilling the criterias of the WP:LIST guideline.--TBC TaLk?!? 04:08, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The problem with your proposal is that it also includes Brtish, Candian and Australian programmes. Displaced Brit 04:11, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Then rename it instead to List of television comedies in English without laugh tracks--TBC TaLk?!? 04:14, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Catagorise and/or delete few red links, making this a good list to turn into a catagory. However, I am worried about verification of the absense of a laugh track. LinaMishima 04:13, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OR. -- Koffieyahoo 04:20, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This is ridiculous and impossible to verify all of them. Doczilla 07:58, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Catagorize or delete as per LinaMishima. —Ben FrantzDale 12:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Categorize or Keep. Since it is a list that is easily verifiable, and makes no analysis, I don't think it is original research. Strikes me as an interesting way of categorizing articles. David L Rattigan 15:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, no categorization. -- stubblyh ea d | T/c 15:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete and categorize. I agree that this list is a bit too much, but people might legitimately find a category featuring this information useful. It's probably not something someone would directly search for, but, upon seeing this at the bottom of the article, they might dig deeper. - Thorne N. Melcher 16:58, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Categorize. Prohibitively large list.  Cdcon   17:18, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment would probably make more sense to have Category with laughter track than without, as the laughtrack is slowly dying out. jnestorius(talk) 17:59, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Indiscriminate collection of trivia. wikipediatrix 19:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and do not categorize, per Wikipediatrix. --Core des at talk. ^_^ 19:47, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, no categorization. I don't see why anyone would look for a comprehensive list of this. Gazpacho 21:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Categorize where verifiable, Delete the rest. I do not see how an article with an annotated list is necessary simply to note the binary fact that a sitcom did not have a laugh track.-- danntm T C 01:38, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, pointless as a list. Pure category. Mukadderat 19:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
