Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of DirecTV channels (2nd nomination)
These pages (and others like them) for other countries are the best and sometimes even only source of information on the specific channels on a platform. I do not believe it comes under , because that seems to cover only directories for business purposes such as business directories, promotions or catalogues, etc.. They are well-organised under channel genre (I'm talking specifically now about the UK-based ones which have also been nominated under this page). They are well-sourced in every way - I've seen people want to add sections to these articles which have been removed because (despite how correct they are) there are no sources, so they're obviously also well-policed and looked after. These pages have little to no original research as some people seem to be implying; believe it or not, there are extensive media outlets for the reporting of upcoming launches/closures on the TV side of things; many of the sites that are (or could be if the appropriate tag was added) sourced are ones used by the industry itself. As there are few television platforms of interest in the UK these articles are also notable in that they provide quite an easy way to compare them in addition to everything else that they're useful for. These constitute valuable and useful glorified lists essentially, so in conclusion, definite and strong keep from me
