Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sri Lanka

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Sri Lanka. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Sri Lanka|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Sri Lanka. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia.

List of programmes broadcast by Pogo

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NLIST. Sources are unreliable or do not talk about the programming as a whole. Many of the sources are primary cited to the channel itself. There is currently only eight active programs which can be merged into the main Pogo (TV channel). In fact, those programs don't even appear to be original programming so they originate with another network. As far as the argument that the list serves a purpose, there is already a category for its original programming which serves such purpose, especially since the shows listed here are mainly originating from other networks.

Keep. A standard WP:SPLITLIST in the Category:Lists of television series by network. Sourcing can be improved.-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 15:07, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This list has big problem with unreliable sources and that is why I did not opt for merge either. I went through the sources that was quite a pain in itself and found the unreliability of sources one after the other including deadlinks. If some content has to be merged with Pogo_(TV_channel)#Programming then it needs to have reliable secondary independent source to show that the channel broadcasts these programmes.

That's a clean up issue in my opinion, implying some work. For example, various pages redirect to that list, some after AfD decisions (example, where yourself !voted to redirect to that list, fwiw, in June this year). -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 08:47, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Before cross check was on AFD Mighty Raju and not the list. Now that it has come to light that the list has source issue after cross checking the references through this AFD, I would not redirect any page to it. RangersRus (talk) 11:37, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete' Most of the sources are just Waybacks of the network's schedule which violates PRIMARY, and the network doesn't originate new content itself, just purchases programming. Nate • (chatter) 18:25, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
the network doesn't originate new content itself, just purchases programming: no, that is not true. See my comment above and Category:Pogo_(TV_channel)_original_programming -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 18:47, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
