Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of DirecTV channels (2nd nomination)
Although I'm definitely an inclusionist, this series of articles has been a thorn in my side for years. It has no logical means of organization, breaking everything into colors and packages that I haven't been able to ever make sense of and which the average Joe/Jane has to do multiple scrolls up to the legend to understand fully, contains channels and alternate feeds rarely watched by anyone and of no use to anyone outside of sat-enthusiasts, and most of all, all of the channels are already listed in the network articles themselves with their channel locations on these providers or have a 'the network is available on (providers X,Y,Z)' note in the article, making this all duplicative. Besides that, judging from my past experience of having to clean up after, it is also one of the easiest and most annoying of article series to vandalize by IPs and troublemaking users, and fixing the complicated template structure takes multiple saves to work all out. Most of all, notwithstanding the zeal of others to keep everything up to date, they're a small minority of editors and if not for them, this would age badly otherwise because there is a steep learning curve to maintain this long list of templates where you're only going to see editors with long experience (and serial vandalizers) editing it. Definitely , and all channel lists are better listed by the providers themselves on their websites, and Wikias=options to maintain this information in a more collaborative and less volatile venue where the vandals can't get in. Note I did rationale Speedy Keep on nom #1, but that was six years ago and many building issues before where it was just a simple basic list easy to navigate
