thread_title: What Happened to the shows?

message: ABC is also the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the Australian equivalent of the BBC. It could also be the title of other broadcasting compaies around the world. We need to avoid the already hefty America-centrism of the wikpedia.
:According to American Broadcasting Company, the network has an official name that ABC stands for.  Considering that we know that Australia and the Phillipines at least have their own ABC's, this page ought to be moved to List of programs broadcast by American Broadcasting Company.  I don't know how notable the non-American networks are, as to whether we should create a dab page, or simply link to the other companies from the American page.

Secondly, should not List of ABC shows be merged with this article?

thread_title: Merge?

message: Just like every other List of programs page (CBS, FOX, NBC), this page is not to have an updated weekly guide per WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a directory.  Per #3 of this policy says that Wikipedia is not a TV/Radio Guide.  I have bolded what I refer to: For example, an article on a radio station generally should not list upcoming events, current promotions, phone numbers, schedules, programme lists, etc.  The midseason schedule that does not have to be updated constantly is OK: although mention of major events or promotions may be acceptable.  Please do not re-add the weekly schedule.  --  Wikipedical 18:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Scrubs (TV series)|Scrubs]] 

message: With primetime shows that are only on once a week, if they are scheduled to air anytime within the next 2 weeks of the current day (since that's the timeframe that all of the major listings sites use) then they should be included on the list, since you can see the date when they're gonna air.
::Your suggestion is reasonable. I would settle for the "within two weeks" consensus for new primetime shows. But in exchange, please no more removal of TV shows nor documenting them as defunct until they have aired the very last minute of their final episode, regardless if it's on daytime of primetime. So in other words,  edits such as  this one would not be accepted because this happened 4 minutes before the show was ended. This edit should had be done at 3:00pm, never at 2:56pm.
::As for The Revolution, I think the ideal would have been to keep it on the "Upcoming series" section until the Monday it started, even if OLTL was removed from the article on Friday. In other words, removing or documenting a daytime TV show  as defunct should not automatically be synonymous of updating the informations about its replacement show if the latter has not debuted yet. 
::If you have any question,comments, suggestions or objections, please let me know. Regards Farine (talk) 05:04, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: What I'm trying to understand is why you absolutely want to remove (or put as defunct) a primetime show from the list if it hasn't aired its final episode yet. I can understand the within 2 weeks thing for new shows. But why remove a show that is still airing just because it has advertized its finale? I just don't get how a show that is still airing can be removed from the list. Please help me understand this one. Farine (talk) 14:20, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Consensus about when to add and remove TV shows

message: Yes, Missing has been cancelled.
But it still has one more episode to air on the 17th.  So let it air, and after the final credits, then it can go bye-bye from the list.

Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue have both been cancelled, but as long as they're playing out the string, they stay on the board.

message: I'm not sure whether to add The Pinkertons to this list, but I know it is airing on select stations nationally, and there is no official page for it.--JeSuisFame (talk) 18:56, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

message: Promoting content that has not appeared on the station is WP:UNDUE weight as well as being non encyclopedic and purely promotional in nature and needs to be removed.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:01, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Scrubs genre 

message: Soap operas are their own genre category of show. They are not primetime dramas. That is why they are placed in their own category on articles like this (and equivalent articles for other networks). They are listed in their own category for both current and former programming, including in this article.  -AnonWikiEditor (talk) 05:36, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The only reason you are doing this because General Hospital isn't a primetime show, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be under drama. ABC's site lists it as a drama, while the Wikipedia article of General Hospital also mentioned that its a drama. So just stop!TheVeryHotWikipedian (talk) 09:42, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: No. Soap operas may derive from drama, but they are their own genre. Soap operas are listed in their own category on every such list (see CBS, NBC, BBC, etc.) because they are very different types of shows from regular dramas that air in primetime. Soaps are also separated from regular drama programming further down on this very article as well in the former programs section. There is no justification for moving General Hospital in this list as you keep doing. -AnonWikiEditor (talk) 10:04, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

text: Your opinion and a not a law here in Wikipedia. Soap operas are drama just like CW's Dynasty and that one is under the drama section. Stop.TheVeryHotWikipedian (talk) 11:47, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  In fact, daytime soap operas are considered to be a separate genre, and are listed in their own sections at both List of programs broadcast by CBS and List of programs broadcast by NBC. There's no reason they should be handled differently here. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:57, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Soap Operas 

message: If it is believed this long running special has been canceled, then please provide the source(s) stating as such. Otherwise it should not be removed (and it should never be completely removed anyway - even if it was canceled, it should be moved to the former programs section further down the page, not removed from the page entirely). -AnonWikiEditor (talk) 10:29, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
