citv has closed down

  Not done: The CITV channel closed down, a CITV block still exists. -- AxG /   15:21, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Splitting the article edit

I think that the list of former programming should be split into a separate article called List of programmes broadcast by CITV. What are other editors views? Dwanyewest (talk) 18:08, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Seems immanently sensible to me Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 14:31, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I don't object, but it's not that long or detailed, either. If the entries were longer (e.g., ALF[1] → "ALF[1] (1986–1990), an American sitcom about a friendly alien creature living with a middle-class family while hiding from alien hunters"), then it might take up too much room on the page and I would support a split.

Split if the relevant content is expanded. I would lean toward not splitting it unless that detail-expansion were done. The list is presently concise, and having it in one article is more maintainable and arguably more convenient at least for a particular class of user (ones familiar with the children's TV shows). I guess the counter-argument is that if it split out and expanded in the way WhatamIdoing outlines, it would serve more users with clearer information, at the cost of the minor inconvenience of having to click another link. I don't think it would be a good idea to either do that content expansion in situ within this article, nor split to a side article without doing that expansion, since in the former case the present article would be cluttered, and in the latter we'd have a miserable stub someone would just want to merge back into the main article.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  23:19, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
The entries don't really need extra detail like descriptions, they link to their own articles for that. The section is not long enough for a split, but I'm sure more entries could be added to the list. The article currently only has 25 kB of "readable prose size" so is not long enough for a WP:SIZESPLIT. Indagate (talk) 16:12, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Split, add years, and keep them alphabetical but sort them into decade headings when they were first broadcast. Eg.
  • 1980s Shows which were first broadcast in the 1980s:
  • 1990s Shows which were first broadcast in the 1990s:
  • 2000s Shows which were first broadcast in the 2000s:
  • 2010s Shows which were first broadcast in the 2010s:
  • 2020s Shows which were first broadcast in the 2020s:
If extra info is needed next to each entry, then I suggest any co-production countries and networks which were involved in each production, as just like today, CBBC and CITV have quite a lot of co-productions with networks in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc. Eg.

Programme list : edit

User:Indagate has reinstated the CITC programme list, even after being told was told then delated for non compliance. and has failed to understand Clearly violates WP:NOTTVGUIDE,

@Wcquidditch:, @RunningTiger123:m, @TimothyBlue: can you help? Crazyseiko (talk) 17:28, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • @MrSchimpf:

  • @Waxworker:
  • Reply: @Indagate:, the info you restored fails on multiple levels including Wikipedia is not a TVGUIDE and WP:V, as it is unsourced. If there is notable original programming that doesn't violate WP:NOTTVGUIDE and can be properly sourced, you can discuss it here and gain WP:CONSENSUS for the program to be included.  // Timothy :: talk  19:27, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • My !vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of programmes broadcast by CITV was based on WP:TNT; I felt that original or first-run shows were reasonable for inclusion but syndicated reruns were not, and it was not feasible to separate the two. However, I somewhat regret my !vote because it seems many similar articles (such as those listed in Template:List of television programs by region) include both original and acquired programming, meaning the CITV list fits within the status quo. I personally think acquired programming should be omitted from such lists, but it would be better to establish that at a wider discussion. I do not think that WP:NOTTVGUIDE is the correct policy to cite. That policy discusses electronic program guides, which list the times every episode of every show airs at; there is a significant difference between listing a show as a single entry and listing every single time that show aired on a given network.

  • If that is case only the following ( see BELOW) could be included as they were commissioned by CITV: However the list is so filled with so much radon crap, What even worse is the list inlcudes, duplicate, stuff that NEVER aired on CITV US sitcom like Alf, Blinky Bill was on BBC1.. The Charming's was on TVAM. So much stuff had nothing to do with CITV. The list has grown Arm and legs and is worthless, and you couldn't be trusted. Personnel I would rather have the monthly presenters list back on this page before that programmeing list but that was kicked off for the same reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crazyseiko (talkcontribs) 07:50, 27 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Reply: The list should contain original programming (with references meeting WP:V) or shows that have been historical significance to CITV (with references meeting WP:V); this should not be a directory of every show that has been on CITV. NOTTVGUIDE is clear, articles should not be program guides, but may mention major shows that are related to the station, the shows should be historically significant to the station with references meeting WP:V.
I know people sometimes get upset regarding this but Wikipedia is not a programing guide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TimothyBlue (talkcontribs) 08:52, 27 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
