Most watched Disney Channel shows

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article which was rejected at wp:afc reason:no sources. Seems to be encyclopedic though. It's useful information. scope_creep 21:23, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - A type of list which doesn't need it's own article. You could merge the info to the Disney Channel page but the redirect should not be kept. Aerospeed (Talk) 22:31, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - The article has not encyclopedia importance. And has a trivial writing style. Fevrret (talk) 01:28, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Zero sources and absurd WP:MADEUP numbers (no, 470 million people didn't watch a Miley/Jonas crossover of Hannah Montana, considering that's much more than the population of the US and Canada). At that, article creator was blocked and is probably one of many 'fantasy TV vandal' socks.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 02:01, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment You can see Hannah Montana abroad, here in the UK and Europe, where the kids love her. So I think that is possibly an aggregate figure covering the world. Where the figures came from, however, is another matter. If they were sources, it might be worth keeping, or the info merged into the appropriate article. I couldn't find any figures regarding it, and I was all over the shop. scope_creep talk 15:48  6 September  2014 (UTC
 * Comment No, they're complete nonsense figures. The top episode of HM got only ten million viewers in the United States, so it's doubtful they managed to get 460 million viewers in the rest of the world, and 210 million for a basic sitcom like The Suite Life would have given the cast more than Friends/Big Bang Theory money for a figure like that alone. Look at the article history (which somehow started as a 'top iTunes app store downloads' article) and its bounce from AFC to article space; this was someone trying to either hoax us or not understanding what we are.

 * Extended Now I see what the intention was; this edit made it seem like they were adding together cumulative viewership for each of the series, so throughout its run HM had 470 million viewers. Still though, we can't use CV as a metric since that's duplicating each viewer and each of the shows had different episode runs, making side-by-side comparisons impossible without some kind of wide margin of error.

 * Delete This does look like largely WP:OR. Adding number from each series is misleading since no doubt many of the same people watched it through the different series. I am One of Many (talk) 05:57, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
