Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1981–1982 United States network television schedule (Saturday morning)
or possibly '''redirect''' to 1981–82 United States network television schedule etc. Wikipedia articles should not consist of TV schedules.  says only that ''mention of ... historically significant programme lists and schedules may be acceptable''. If these particular TV schedules were historically significant then we would expect coverage of them in third-party reliable sources. The articles do not cite any such sources despite the fact that they have existed for over five years, have had an {{tl|unreferenced}} tag on it for the vast majority of that time, and many people (including the relevant Wikiproject) haven't been able to find references. If there were references that discussed the TV schedules in question then we may be able to expand the articles so that they discussed the efforts of the various networks to get or retain market share, at which point the page ceases to be a mere TV schedule and becomes an encyclopedia article, such as 1953–54 United States network television schedule. But the five-year history of these pages shows that such a thing is unlikely to happen. The argument that ''"it's useful" is a valid argument for a list'' is flawed.  does say that ''The list may be a valuable information source'', however this is a sufficient criterion, not a necessary one. To see this consider a hypothetical page called List of companies by telephone number. Such a thing blatantly violates , which is why it doesn't exist, but it is a list and it would be useful to some of our readers. The fact that information could conceivably be useful to our readers does not mean we should provide it if it goes against our purpose as an encyclopedia
