Comment: The Template:Toolong box was there for over a week before I split the article off.  The vote was one to one, so I went ahead and split the article, as it was over 300 kB when I did (the Notable Events section being over 150 kB).  I am willing to have the discussion now about reducing the article size.  If the community decides to revert, then I will accept that.  If  is the verdict, then 2012 in American television should also be purged

Comment: What you should have done is go through  and used the {{Split2}} template so that readers and constant editors could actually comment on the article before deciding on a split. Also, one to one isn't any kind of consensus; that's a draw at best and at worst out of basic policy. Just throwing on "TooLong" and thinking that would build up any consensus was unacceptable. I check the article 3-4 times a week and never knew there was a split discussion going on, and unless someone checks the talk page (very rare as most of the editors there build consensus through article content rather than talk), they would've never known about the split. As it is though putting the content in separate articles lost most of the context of each month and since some items are related to actions from other months, readers would be lost without being able to know something else happened months before (e.g. the AMC Networks/Dish and Cablevision/Trib disputes). And if the issue is the length of text, that's something easily dealt with through consensus rather than deletion, and there's no way 2012IAT should be deleted because there, every item '''must''' be sourced before its added in
