List of years in Canadian television
Page was listed for speedy deletion by User:ZeroOne with the reason "A page full of red links." I'd like some other opinions on this. For an index page like this is redlinks ratio really a good enough criterion? (I'm reserving my vote on this for now.) - dcljr (talk) 19:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Wouldn't it make more sense to create the articles first, and then use a Category to link them? Fan1967 20:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Week delete Two blue links and every likelihood that the links will turn blue eventually. Categories do not replace lists. Osomec 20:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * weak delete You could just get by through the Category:Years in Canadian television or with a template. There is no List of years in American television --Larsinio 20:24, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, as Category:Years in Canadian television does the same job as this so-called article. --ZeroOne 21:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Okay, now that I see there's a category for this, I agree with the deletion. - dcljr (talk) 01:54, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. And why does it go back to the 1900's for "Canadian television" when television didn't even exist then??? —GrantNeufeld 04:08, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Categories and Lists do different jobs and should coexist. Jcuk 22:52, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. As it stands, the list provides nothing that the category doesn't (now that I've added redlinks to the category). - dcljr (talk) 17:18, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as a redlink farm. It would be listcruft even if it wasn't redlinked. The category is fine. If and when there is more content than wikilinks, recreation is possible. Stifle 23:44, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
