List of television stations in Brazil

This article should be deleted as it lacks context. It Is a simple listing without context information and contains loosely related items. (See WP:NOTDIR) This article also has no sources because the information in it may be challenged so it fails WP:GNG. -KAP03(Talk &bull;&#32;Contributions) 00:31, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment – Notability is based on the existence of sources, not the state of sourcing in the article. In this case, I presume there are many different notable television stations in Brazil that would have the necessary coverage available for each. Additionally, I wouldn't call the list composed of loosely related items: they are all directly related in the sense that they are all Brazilian television networks. Possible redirect targets include: Television in Brazil and List of television networks by country. Mz7 (talk) 01:14, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep It's a perfect ordinary and valid main list per Category:Lists of television channels by country and Category:Brazilian television networks, and WP:CLN. Could be renamed or tweaked, sure. No valid reason to delete. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:11, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep The notability issue is a non-starter. This just needs to be cleaned up and reformatted. It wouldn't take much time at all to retool this page into a rather useful list. See Category:Brazilian television networks for more. giso6150 (talk) 22:50, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nothing wrong with the article title itself as such as subject (TV stations in the fifth most populous country in the world) would certainly pass WP:LISTN, it is clear the article needs expansion. Ajf773 (talk) 07:46, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. but could do with tidyng up. Mecha Bieber (talk) 05:50, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Deletion nominator should take note of wp:CLNT which describes how categories, lists, and navigation templates are complementary, and generally supports a decision rule that if there's a category of things, there can be a list of those things. -- do  ncr  am  17:35, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
