Nick Jr. (UK and Ireland)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No sources. Not notable. Pure cruft. One of those international children's channels that broadcasts the same programming as the original channel. WP:OR. It may be notable if it's in the main article, Nickelodeon (UK and Ireland). Finealt (talk) 18:30, 16 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - I will refer readers to WP:Articles for deletion/Nickelodeon (Europe) which has been similarly nominated by Finealt. This user is removing vast chunks of content and blanking articles in favour of redirects to barely-related or completely unrelated articles. Most of the reasons given (including 'this channel does not exist') are completely wrong. Nick Jr UK is a longstanding television channel with no question as to its notability. If Finealt has issues with the content of the article he should discuss the problems he perceives and take part in making things better, not just delete the article wholesale, as he has now done to hundreds of other articles in his edit history. The wholesale replacement of articles with redirects is deleting via the backdoor, avoiding discussion and consensus. His central claim that each of his target channels "broadcasts the same programming as the original channel" is not correct as each international channel differs in which programmes they do and do not show. And as is again apparent from his edit history, anyone reverting his changes receive warnings and threats. Such behaviour is inappropriate and should stop. Note also that this request for deletion has occurred only after multiple unsuccessful attempted redirects to unrelated articles and an unsuccessful request for page protection to prevent those redirects being removed.

 * Comment the proposer has now blanked the page and redirect three times today even after starting the AFD. Murry1975 (talk) 19:24, 16 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep It is it's own channel. So it's notable. I looked at your edit history and you edit war and even give personal attacks. I took your barnstar away because of this. Keenan202 (talk) 19:38, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per Keenan202. Hafspajen (talk) 20:14, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable. Yes, it contains a lot of OR. Maybe I could add pictures instead. TDFan2006 (talk) 20:19, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Originates plenty of its own programming, obviously notable.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 23:26, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
