Deletion of 2012–13 United States network television schedule (3rd nomination)

Comment: The network TV schedules were nominated for deletion in July 2012, resulting in a snowball "Keep." (See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The US network TV schedule articles (2nd nomination). This article can be distinguished from the previous versions of the 2012-2013 US network TV schedule which were deleted, since those were deleted on the basis of being crystal ball gazing and too early. It can also be distinguished from the deleted trivial articles about listings on cable channels which were deleted recently. Satisfies |notability by having multiple reliable and independent sources with significant coverage. Complies with OT as not being an electronic program guide, since it is not a listing of what the particular episode of each show will be on a given evening. There is emergent information when the network schedules re presented this way in comparison with what is on the competing networks.  This article is a useful organizational tool in addition to the individual network articles. There are competitive reasons, which have been discussed in books about television, for why program X on one network is doing fine until it is put up against program Y on another network
