Deletion of List of United States network television schedules

Comment: WP:NOTDIR.  The deletion rationale: "a classic case of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, particularly " defies imagination.  It is not only grossly misleading but downright counterfactual as this type of information is specifically mentioned and even ''wiki-linked'' in  as acceptable.   While I would like to ''assume'' |good faith my olfactory organ informs me that the nomination does not pass the smell test.  Available evidence and logical inference suggest that this nomination could be a disruption of Wikipedia to make a |point.  The present outcome is pretty obvious: heated discussions, mutual accusations of incivility - divisive stuff that turns Wikipedia into a battleground

Comment: largely per Edison. This is an encyclopedic topic, and there is in fact a great deal of thought and strategy that goes into scheduling decisions, something that media historians absolutely care about (it'd be nice to maybe see discussion of that in the articles, but |TIND). And as pointed out above,  ''explicitly mentions this'' as a possible exception. And on a procedural note, if the intention here is to delete the entire group of lists, you really do need to tag all 90+ articles

Comment: The nomination and the above deletion arguments amount to "I Don't Like It!" and fail as reasons to delete the article.  says "Wikipedia is not a directory," but also says ".. mention of major events, promotions or historically significant programme lists and schedules (such as the annual List of United States network television schedules|United States network television schedules) may be acceptable." Please go and change , if a consensus there favors your views, rather than just coming here and ignoring it or misrepresenting what it says. The U.S. network TV schedules for every year included in this list has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. Books have been written about them, such as "The complete directory of TV prime time network TV shows 1946-present," by Brooks and Marsh, Ballantine Books, 1979,  and more recent similar works. The network TV schedules have been the subject each year of articles in major national newspapers and magazines. Thus it satisfies otability. A master list such as this is a useful and encyclopedic organizing tool which provides access to the individual lists. People study the history of TV, even if some of the delete voters here cannot imagine wanting information about historical programming. It should be noted that network TV schedules have been nominated for deletion in the past and kept or kept due to no consensus for deletion.
