Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Viasat Film Action


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Viasat Film. To quote User:BabbaQ, Articles need sources. Yes they do. And these don't have them, as User:Ad Orientem points out. No sources, no WP:V, no article. There's not strictly a consensus to redirect, but it seems like a reasonable thing to do, per WP:ATD. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:58, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason:


 * Keep - These are actual channels. Articles need sources though. And article size really does not matter in terms of deletion or keep. But more input neededBabbaQ (talk) 23:07, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. The only reason this is a one-sentence article is because we've put all the relevant information in the infobox. Take the infobox into account and it actually provides a decent bit of information. /Julle (talk) 04:41, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - "Too short" should result in an effort to expand, not delete. Given the multinational nature of the channel it certainly seems notable. Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 18:01, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly fails WP:GNG. Yes they exist, but existence doesn't mean notability. Sjö (talk) 10:46, 14 January 2019 (UTC) I have no objection to redirecting per Mrschimpf.Sjö (talk) 09:17, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - Yes, the article is too short, but should not be deleted. Passes WP:GNG. Skirts89 (talk) 15:35, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * This assertion has no sources. Please explain with examples how these articles meet WP:GNG. I can find program listings and non-independent sources but those don't add to WP:GNG.Sjö (talk) 09:17, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Viasat Film, along with Viasat Film Comedy, Viasat Film Family, Viasat Film Hits and Viasat Film Premiere This is per past consensus of multiplex premium film channels like HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Starz and Sky Cinema, where usually the additional channels those services have can't stand out on their own (and going by cable's future, will likely make way for just a couple channels thanks to VOD); these channels all have genres they usually doesn't drift from, and we can't really expand it beyond what we have now, along with the latter two, which describe 'proven film hits' and 'air only newer films'. No merge because there's just too little there, but all four should definitely be retained as plausible redirects.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 23:18, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * When you say "no merge because there's just too little there", have you taken the infobox into account? I'd argue it contains useful information. /Julle (talk) 00:00, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I did; it contains cable positions easily merged into Viasat Film, but outside of that, the information is mainly duplicative since it's a suite of channels which all share the same history, outside of individual names.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 06:26, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I think there is some misunderstanding here. Article notability or use are not based on size. Every single of these articles should and can be expanded with individual information. All are clearly notable.BabbaQ (talk) 08:33, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * As already described above, these are all multiplex channels. They usually carry a certain genre of film and nothing more than that, and can be described easily in a paragraph in Viasat Film, as we have done for the other premium multiplexes we list here.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 08:58, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete All Articles are entirely unsourced and fail WP:V which is policy and non-negotiable. None of these can be kept without any sources. -Ad Orientem (talk) 00:35, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
