Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Television

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Television. 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:
  1. 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.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Television|~~~~}} 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 Television. 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.

History of Saturday Night Live (1975–1980) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I am also nominating the other pages in this SNL history series:

These articles are rife with original research, unsourced and poorly sourced statements, useless cast trivia, and redundant cast lists that are already located in their respective season articles. Most of the pages segment everything by season anyway and are not the broader look at the show history that they are supposed to be. Several of them have had cleanup tags for almost a decade. They are rarely edited. And they are arbitrarily segmented by five year increments for no specific reason; this appears to be a random decision made 20 years ago in 2004 that nobody has questioned since then.

Myself and another editor have been working on a successor for these pages; it's currently at Draft:History of Saturday Night Live. It functions as the broader look at show history that these nine pages were supposed to be. It is not just redundant of the existing season pages; it makes extensive use of reliable sources and is the broader look at show history. I propose that this new page replace these existing pages. There are many benefits to this: consolidating editor efforts on one page, ditching the arbitrary separation, less maintenance effort required across multiple pages, etc.

I have already merged any non-duplicate info from these old pages into the appropriate SNL season articles. There will be nothing lost by deleting/redirecting them to the new page. I announced this plan about a week ago on the SNL talk page and have received no opposition at this point. StewdioMACK (talk) 15:01, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Closed as no consensus in June of this year. I did not see the discussion at the time but just followed the trail of a now blocked IP editor. There are currently two sources on the page. The first is this which just mentions her as being in the film. The other is this which does the same (doesn't even mention the role) and is also unreliable under WP:NEWSORGINDIA. I did a WP:BEFORE and found a lot of tabloid press, brief mentions, and unreliable sources. A redirect may be an appropriate WP:ATD if someone can recommend a good target.

  • Delete. My opinion remains the same after a second look at the article: the coverage consists either of tabloid coverage (see WP:SBST) or WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs; no significant coverage and thus no pass of WP:GNG. Acting credits don't appear to be significant enough for WP:NACTOR. Dclemens1971 (talk) 20:57, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Meets WP:NACTOR with multiple significant (not lead but not minor) roles in notable productions. A good target for a redirect might be List of Pakistani actresses but I personally cannot see why a standalone page shouldn't be kept. Still, a Redirect would be better than deletion, to which I am opposed. Note: her name is sometimes spelled Amna (with one A) She also received coverage for her private life/break in her career. Her presence among the housemates of the reality show Tamasha indicates she can be considered a celebrity (and although famous is not the same as notable, one can reasonably argue that she's famous for being an actress and that it is therefore probably fair to find her notable). -My, oh my!

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

The Judoon seem to lack significant coverage discussing the species as a whole. I found very little searching in Books and Scholar, with Books only turning up spin-off material from the series and Scholar only pulling trivial mentions or mentions of the episode "Fugitive of the Judoon," which only discuss the episode and not the species. News sources have a few hits, but they're mostly ROUTINE coverage (A character is returning, here's a few guides so you know who they are) and even then there's very few of them and the bulk of them are just plot summary with no significant reception of analysis of their role. I don't believe there's enough here for the Judoon to act as a standalone article. A viable AtD is a redirect to List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens, where most of the relevant information regarding the Judoon is already present. Has one ever considered Magneton?

I previously PRODded the article with the rationale being "Not notable - no in-depth independent coverage". It was deprodded by Mushy Yank with a note to look at the Slovak article. There indeed are some sources, but the only claims they make about this channel are:

  1. that it became available on DVB-T (with some technical details), and
  2. that Towercom resumed broadcasting it.

These two claims hardly constitute significant coverage, therefore I am renominating this article for deletion, this time at AfD. Janhrach (talk) 10:15, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

References are unreliable as they are churnalism and WP:NEWSORGINDIA. Tagged for notability hoping better sources would be introduced but tag was removed without improvement. The only bylined sources I found were this which is churnalism based off a press release (there are a few others you will find in a WP:BEFORE, and this which is three paragraphs and about one of the actors (only a paragraph about the series).

Recently moved from draftspace which is primarily a WP:CONTENTFORK of WP:FANCRUFT contents covered at the more dedicated Multiverse (Marvel Cinematic Universe) article. Majority of the contents are unsourced or poorly sourced, and much of the universe "Earth" designations are vacant. This does not warrant an article nor does a separate list meet notability in its own right. Trailblazer101 (talk) 20:53, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment this AfD should probably be withdrawn given that the article in question has been shifted back to draft space. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 00:02, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. I'll withdraw this, though I will note this should not be moved back to the mainspace unless there is consensus to do so. Trailblazer101 (talk) 00:08, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Entirely redundant content fork off the current Multiverse article that offers no new information for readers. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 21:29, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment/Keep I did not give (a)nnihilation97 permission to move this to main space as it is far from finished. Secondly, I fail to see how this is FANCRUFT, giving it explicitly is within the realm of MCU canon. If you’re so bold on deleting it, then you should delete List of DC Multiverse worlds since it has much of the same content that you’re claiming is non-notable. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 21:46, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that much of this list is repeated of the main MCU multiverse article and universe names are not confirmed. It is far too early for this list. I have no problems with a general DC list (and don't edit those articles), my rationale is based on this article's quality. If you want the contents preserved, I would suggest retainning it in your sandbox, especially if you don't want others working on it and to prevent something like this from happening again. Trailblazer101 (talk) 21:49, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fair point, but given the extent of the universes we’ve explored so far in the MCU and confirmed side-realities, it would not hurt to have a general list of all the ones the MCU has shown. We have an extensive character list over several pages that are short blurbs about the characters. Readers should be aware of what other realities the MCU has shown aside from the prominent ones. MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 21:58, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Those are adequately covered at Multiverse (Marvel Cinematic Universe)#Notable realities for the time being. That article has not become long enough to the point where a split is warranted, nor are the universes themselves that more notable than the MCU multiverse itself. Maybe wait until after Secret Wars to see how this all develops in terms of the multiverse. Trailblazer101 (talk) 22:01, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Move to draft space. There is enough content there and there might be RS that list and talk about each universe, or there might not be. There is 6 months for anyone to work out and find out. Gonnym (talk) 09:45, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cullen328 (talk) 06:51, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment When an experienced editor looks at the references in the current version of this article, most look pretty weak, and then you think, "Oh my gosh, this guy got coverage in the New York Times! I am a subscriber and this is the sum total of what that newspaper wrote about Ball: “Citgo’s the last thing you think of,” said Leverett Ball, 23, a radio promotions assistant who was standing with his father, the economist Laurence Ball, near the sign on a recent evening. That is a classic example of a passing mention, and is not significant coverage. Far from it. The Boston Citgo sign may be notable, but the fact that Ball said seven words about it does not make Ball notable.

  • Delete - does not pass WP:GNG. The only source that really offers what might be considered SIGCOV is from Brewster Academy, and it is basically a puff piece because the subject attended that school, so it can't be considered independent of the subject. And obviously, YouTube and IMDb can't be used as sources for a BLP. The Yahoo Finance article is churnalism and a press release from GlobeNewswire, which can't be used to establish notability, and really shouldn't be used in a BLP. The NYT article is only a passing mention that provides us with who his father is, and does not establish notability. And the two remaining sources aren't reliable sources and can't be used to satisfy GNG. As an experienced editor, I made this determination by not just looking at the references, but by actually conducting a thorough examination of the sources. I also looked for sources through The Wikipedia Library and found no sources to establish notability, so the obvious outcome here is delete. Isaidnoway (talk) 09:22, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not finding sufficient WP:SIGCOV of this individual who "presents" a show on her own Instagram channel to meet WP:GNG. She doesn't appear to meet any SNG either.

List of non-notable characters that is already covered at the main article for Will & Grace. There is a reckless amount of unsourced material and nothing to justify its own article. Even the main character articles like Will Truman or Grace Adler have severe problems with sourcing but we have to start somewhere. Jontesta (talk) 17:33, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep No BEFORE articulated. Complaint suggests most (all?) problems are solvable by editing/trimming, and has an obvious merge target. Jumping to AfD is unwarranted. And, since the topic of "Characters of X" is "X", notability for a list of characters article isn't even in question. Jclemens (talk) 22:25, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with most of the points you've raised, but I'd contest that last point. Notability isn't inherited. Just because Will & Grace is notable doesn't mean a list article about the characters appearing in the show should be kept on the same principle. But, as I said, I agree with the majority of your points. I don't have a strong opinion on this yet. An AfD may not be the optimal venue for a merge discussion, but it gets the job done, and I suspect any trimming is going to be more of a hatchet job. DonIago (talk) 03:05, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    "Inherited" isn't a sensible way to articulate the relationship between X and Characters of X. "Characters of" X is an element or subset of X. The notability of my left hand is not inherited from me like the notability of my son might be; one is a subset, one is an offspring. Jclemens (talk) 05:15, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a reasonable WP:SIZESPLIT from the main article – details about recurring characters are generally good as encyclopedic content, though I agree that the current list is too long (removing the list of one-time guest stars would probably be a good place to start trimming) and should have better sources (in general, character lists across Wikipedia tend to be poorly sourced, but that's distinct from encyclopedic relevance). RunningTiger123 (talk) 18:26, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: per WP:SIZESPLIT. "List of characters" pages for notable TV shows are very common on Wikipedia. I know that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a good argument against deletion, but sometimes, well, other stuff does actually exist: in other words, it's common practice, like a "List of episodes" page or a "List of awards and honors" page, when the parent page is too long to support it. Toughpigs (talk) 18:33, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - albeit somewhat on the fence. I think given the program's historical importance in terms of queer representation on American television, which was naturally expressed through its choice of characters and sometimes casting, Will & Grace has as much right (maybe more) to have a list of characters than many other shows which also do; as the above user says, it is basically common practice. Additionally a list like this is not appropriate for the main article, so if it is deemed that there are enough recurring characters to warrant this treatment, a separate list makes sense. There are perhaps concerns about how much of the existing content can be sourced anywhere other than just by citing the episodes in which events happen, in my opinion. However recommendations for starting improvements would be: a) removing most (all?) one-time-only characters, since if those have any notability it will go on the "list of episodes" or individual episode pages; b) providing number of episodes next to each listed character, which helps readers understand relative importance of a character to the program; c) sorting them by season appearance or some kind so that the page serves as a useful encyclopedic reference to the television series rather than to the world of the series, which is the fan's prerogative; and d) perhaps porting over the more complex table of supporting characters from the main article - it serves little purpose there. The Cardigan Kid (talk) 07:36, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the comments above and per WP:SIZESPLIT. Will and Grace was/is very popular and had 11 seasons with a lot of guest stars and this cannot all fit in the same page. I have looked online and have seen many sources showing SIGCOV of the characters and show and this is before evening looking through archive and newspapers. I agree that the current page needs work but it is very possible to improve by sourcing the cast and adding real world information and reception to improve the page. I would begin improving it now but my time is currently limited as I am in the middle of exams; however, I have added some (not all) sources that can be used for improvement on the talk page.DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 23:40, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I share DaniloDaysOfOurLives’s sentiment. This was a popular, longstanding, and groundbreaking prime time television series on a major network, when that mattered. Sources can be found easily, especially about the guest stars who played themselves (or semi fictional avatars), like Cher and Elton John. Bearian (talk) 02:41, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and cleanup, per The Cardigan Kid. Editors saying that size splits trump notability need to review WP:AVOIDSPLIT. But this was a notable series with sufficient coverage for its ensemble cast. I might agree with cleaning up the one-time minor appearances, but that can be done through editing, not AFD.

  • Keep: The article now has way more sources than other film articles from 1959. Most of the film's songs were hits and have relevance till now, which can be seen by a WP:BEFORE search or from the sources I added in the Music section. I believe we have two full-length reviews in major publications, which I have added to the reception section. FWIW, the film and its songs are mentioned in the biographies of Kishore Kumar, Madan Mohan, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 12:10, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: After reviewing new changes and sources, I still believe that page fails WP:NFILM. Some sources are unreliable and the others have a very very brief passing mention and some almost look like just entries. Source 1 only says when the movie was scheduled to be released. Source 2 is Google book by unreliable self publication (Hay House) and have very brief passing mention. Source 3 is biography on Kishore Kumar and has passing mention. Source 4 is on biography of Om Prakash and has passing mention. Source 5 (Cinemaazi) is biography on Anoop Kumar Ganguly and is unreliable source where disclaimer clearly mentions that it does not warranty on accuracy and completeness. Source 6 (Bangalore Mirror) is interview with singer Lata Mangeshkar and has passing mention. Source 7 (Seniors Today) is about Lata Mangeshkar and has passing mention and is also unreliable as the site provides senior citizens with health information, practical strategies to improve their physical, mental and emotional well-being. Source 8 (scroll.in) is about Asha Bhonsle and has passing mention. Source 9 (Tribune) is about Kishore Kumar and has passing mention. Source 10 (Gaana.com) has list of songs to listen from the film. Source 11 (Google book) published by unreliable self publishing company, Notion Press, has passing mention. Source 12 (allmusic.com) is list of songs just like source 10 to listen to. Source 13 is Google snippet and impossible to verify the complete page that shows just passing mention. Source 14 is also Google snippet by FilmiIndia who self published using own FilmiIndia Publication company and regardless of self publication, verification of entire page is impossible. Source 15 (Google book) has very brief passing mention. There is not a single full fledged source with indepth coverage on the film. RangersRus (talk) 21:30, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Even if that assessment was correct (I don't think that what you call passing mentions are all passing mentions, for example), the film would still meet WP:NFILM's inclusionary criteria#2 "The film features significant involvement (i.e., one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person and is a major part of their career." being a big success (among other things) in the career of (various) (very) notable persons, don't you think? I don't think it is fair to delete or even redirect, to be completely honest, a page with that many mentions (with some including short but significant critical appraisal) in various sources, some being more reliable and/or significant than other, true. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 23:48, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
NFILM#2 may apply but that criteria is prefaced with "The following are attributes that generally indicate, when supported with reliable sources, that the required sources are likely to exist" - This does not mean it is automatically notable. It still needs the significant coverage. I would be willing to change my !vote to Keep should someone supply a list of those sources. I currently don't find any. --CNMall41 (talk) 02:02, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as there are reviews such as Film India which although in snippet view is titled as a film review which suggests significant coverage, together with a number of mentions for this 1959 pre-internet film which really needs to be researched offline, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:25, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"This article is about an Iranian film that was recorded in Iran according to the sources available in the article. If the article is lacking in content, it is likely that the user who created it did not have sufficient information and was unable to provide further edits. As you may have noticed, a 'stub' template has been added at the end of the article, indicating that editors are encouraged to help expand the article by adding more information. According to this procedure, the article needs more time to be completed.

    A statement is made that is not logical. You say there are no sources, so what are the sources listed in the references section for? This has been officially announced as a certain type of film and has been screened as a cinematic movie in Iran and registered on IMDb. You shouldn't compare this article, which pertains to Iran, with an article related to the United States, because it was created by an editor who has limited knowledge about Iranian cinema, and this will be corrected over time with the help of other editors. Unfortunately, you made a hasty decision to delete this article, which is not logical and violates Wikipedia's rules. This article is still new and was created just a month ago, and a stub template has been added to allow editors to contribute, with credible sources also cited. 5.233.174.226 (talk) 17:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

I can't see that this has WP:SIGCOV in multiple independent reliable sources or that they meet WP:NACTOR.

  • Delete: Per nom and per WP:DRAFTNO, articles older than 90 days shouldn't be moved to draft. M S Hassan 📬✍🏻 05:34, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:DRAFTNO does not say, ‘Articles older than 90 days shouldn’t be moved to draft.’ You may have been misunderstood it. It is a guideline for new page reviewers, stating, ‘Do not draftify articles older than 90 days without discussion through AfD. If there is consensus to draftify, then it will be draftified.’ GrabUp - Talk 11:09, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    While WP:DRAFTNO does pertain to new page reviewers, I do think the general idea that draftification should be used for newish articles holds. I don't think it's appropriate to draftify biographical articles which have failed to established the notability of their subject after almost nine years. TarnishedPathtalk 12:08, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: I do not see a compelling reason to draft. Drafting is good when an article is not quite yet ready for main, but will or could be ready soon. I do not like to draft when there is a lack of sourcing and/or meeting the relevant notability guideline. If we draft, this article is likely to either end up back in main before it's ready (and then possible end up back at AFD), or sit in draft and end up deleted in six months. The subject does not meet notability and there is no indication they can or will do so in the near future. — MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 05:06, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
