Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of television stations in New York
Listing US/Canadian television stations by media market was prevented by a Neilsen Media takedown notice, so the obvious choice in presenting this data is arranging it by state/territory. Interestingly, my 1952 ''Hollywood Reporter'' Production Encyclopedia lists every television station then on the air in the United States, listed by city and state, so I'm not moved by the argument that these entries violate . The idea behind DIR was that editors didn't want readers to come to Wikipedia to ''check local television program listings''... it had nothing to do with not wanting readers to be able to see a carefully-arranged, well-organized list of television stations arranged in a logical, sensible way
