List of programs broadcast by Hum TV: It has not "been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources" as references verify the shows but do not talk about the group as a whole.  There are nine current programs that are sourced which can easily be placed in the Hum TV page if necessary.  History of the page also shows this has been the target of socks and COI since 2017 from Hum TV.  While not a reason to delete, the list only stands to promote the station.

CNMall41 ( talk ) 18:32, 31 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : detailed article about a notable network : see WP:SPLITLIST .  If a merge into the main article was an improvement, I would not be opposed but it would be an issue.  - My, oh my!  (Mushy Yank) 19:13, 31 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] It is not a detailed article unfortunately.  It is a list.  If it is a problem to merge per SPLITLIST, then a redirect would work.  However, it would need to be notable per NLIST to have a standalone page.  I looked and could not find reliable sources that talk about the list as a grouping but I have been proven wrong before if someone can provide those sources.  -- CNMall41 ( talk ) 20:10, 31 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I would tend to believe that, whenever the list format is appropriate, a list can be a detailed page on any given subject mentioned briefly in a section of another article.  The subject is obviously a subtopic of Hum TV, it would be difficult to argue otherwise.  See Template Main list (which uses the word Main where "Detailed" is to be understood).  See also the template For Timeline, similar.  If you want to redirect and merge, sure, if all agree and size is not an issue; but this type of page is pretty standard, though, by the way.  Look at the categories and the pages they contain....  For sources, you have for example, https://internationalrasd.org/journals/index.php/pjhss/article/download/1259/936/9962 ; or see Forging the Ideal Educated Girl: The Production of Desirable Subjects in Muslim South Asia (2018).  But I consider WP:SPLITLIST to be the applicable section of the guideline and the fact that it's a pretty standard approach to programs of notable networks should imv encourage us to keep that list.  - My, oh my!  (Mushy Yank) 21:00, 31 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] "I would tend to believe that, whenever the list format is appropriate, a list can be a detailed page on any given subject mentioned briefly in a section of another article" - I like that thinking and generally it seems acceptable on its face.  The problem is that the list must meet notability guidelines.  If not, then it should stay mentioned briefly on the notable network page.  Here there are only nine programs and they do not all appear to be original programs, just current programming.  I do like " a pretty standard approach to programs of notable networks " as you mentioned above.  They can easily be covered by the category as opposed to standalone list (for those that are "original programmin" - the rest are just TV Guide listings) in my opinion.   -- CNMall41 ( talk ) 22:09, 31 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I am also concerned about the fate of borderline/mildly notable series/programs whose pages are redirected to pages like this (not about the pages themselves, but at the idea that the ATD is not an ATD).  And more generally about the issue of notability of various lists like this.  Allow me to quote User:Maile66 's comment during a recent Afd : " Refer to Category:Lists of television series by network . Generally speaking, most of them list the programs they carry, and have no sourcing.  Most of them are also kept current if programs are added or dropped.  There are literally hundreds of stations involved, if not thousands of stations and programs involved. If anyone disagrees with how it's handled, I'd suggest discussing it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television . " I think it's a fair concern.  Either a broader discussion or a consensus that, yes, sourcing should be better but that this type of pages should generally be considered OK when the network is notable.  A broader discussion would perhaps be helpful. - My, oh my!  (Mushy Yank) 11:33, 6 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirects to the page are a concern but they should not have bearing on notability.  Unfortunately, I think a lot of the programs may not meet notability guidelines but do not want to do a mass deletion.  Maybe someone can take up the task and redirect them to the main station page.  -- CNMall41 ( talk ) 02:40, 8 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete : WP:NLIST applies without any special exception and that in general lists of programs, where needed, can be handled within the article about the channel, and don't generally merit a stand-alone list article, unless such a list would pass the scrutiny per WP:NLIST.
