Does not meet GNG, fails WP:NTELEVISION, "Wikipedia is not an electronic program guide" and "A television or radio station's article should not contain a comprehensive listing of the station's entire broadcast schedule" If the station article shouldn't have this information, a stand alone list is not appropriate and neither is a merge.  // Timothy ::  talk  11:27, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep- Most of the shows listed in the article are original programming. Just because each show does't have a separate article doesn't mean that the channel isn't notable. WP:NTV guidelines state that a network is notable if it broadcasts nationally and it's lineup is constant across its broadcast area, both of which are true in this case. And the only reason why there are a few acquired shows on that list is because the production of originals was stalled during the lockdown and programming voids had to be filled. Definitely needs a little pruning but is notable as a tv channel. Sunshine1191 (talk) 12:29, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Reply: There is no evidence that they produce original programming, only broadcast content produced by others. This is not speculation, it what the article state. They do not inherit notability from The Walt Disney Company. The statement "Rename the article to List of programs broadcast on Asianet" is odd because the article is already titled "List of programs broadcast by Asianet". Guidelines never say something is notable, it says they may be, might or may be presumed. In this case there is no evidence they produce their own content and there are not RS showing SIGCOV for their notability.  // Timothy ::  talk  14:12, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: As established below at Articles for deletion/List of programs broadcast by Asianet a list of original programming broadcast by the network is perfectly acceptable as per WP:NTV and who produced the content is irrelevant. As long as the series has it's premiere on the channel and the channel holds executive rights to it, the series is classified as original programming. So by the virtue of broadcasting originals across the country of India, the channel is very much notable. TheRedDomitor (talk) 15:11, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   07:12, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Aren’t nationally broadcast television channels normally presumed notable? The article isn’t very good, but based on those grounds, I’m gonna have to say Keep. Foxnpichu (talk) 09:48, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
