Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/DirecTV channels


Qualifies under WP:NOTDIR. We are not given context about where this configuration of channels is valid. In addition a article by this name existed at one point, but has been deleted in the intermim Articles_for_deletion/List_of_DirecTV_channels_(2nd_nomination) Hasteur (talk) 18:44, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - As far as I understand, these are not specifically DirecTV channels, but channels that are available through any number of content delivery services. Most of these channels have their own articles; would it be more appropriate to create a category, "Television channels available through DirectTV" (and a similar one for other services if anyone wanted to work on them), and add the appropriate categories to the channels?  Not having worked on television articles, I am not advocating this, just asking; if this were done these directory-like articles would be unnecessary, and if a channel stopped broadcasting or changed its availability it would be easy to make all changes at once instead of having to edit multiple lists.  &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 22:31, 23 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - Seems odd that the above is a talk page and not an Articles for creation page. Lots of activity for deleting DirectTV related topics. List of DirecTV channels AfD 2nd did not survive DRV. The standard to apply at MfD for pages listed at Article Incubator is that they 1. continue to be 2. collaboratively edited 3. towards "graduating" to mainspace. WP:ATD-I Also, since a purpose to list articles at the incubator instead of moving them to user space is so that "these proto-articles easier to find and edit" WP:ATD-I, the time element is shorter for pages at incubator than the WP:STALEDRAFT time used at MfD for user pages. The above listed page has not been collaboratively edited, continuously edited, and any edits made have not been sufficiently graduating the page to mainspace. The page also is stale. -- Jreferee (talk) 08:19, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * In restponse to
 * "Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation" is the prefered location for AfC.
 * Articles for Creation != Incubator.
 * This page could have met CSD:G13 but recalling other List of channels categories I wanted a firm consensus (so CSD:G4 can be invoked if necessary) instead of the soft delete that G13 brings. Hasteur (talk) 13:07, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
