wp:nota guide, this seems to be the 2nd copy of the same thing as well. Pharmboy 01:10, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This AFD here already covered the subject well enough. FrozenPurpleCube 01:14, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The fact that it has been done before isn't a valid arguement for keep. Wikipedia is NOT a TV Guide or Program Guide per WP:NOT. The other guides need to be deleted as well. Otherwise, we might as well not have the policy about guides. Pharmboy 01:24, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, it is quite valid to refer to prior discussions, especially since in this case, the argument is the same. You think this is a program guide. But the belief of others is that they are not. The purpose of that section of WP:NOT is to prevent up-to-date schedules, not to remove lists of this nature. Perhaps there needs to be some clarification there.

- I agree there needs to be clarification. I can't see how a "current guide" is encyclopedia material. Interesting, useful, but that isn't the criteria. Pharmboy 01:58, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- This isn't inherently a current guide. That argument may be made about the other page, however, but not this one. It'd certainly be possible to edit it by adding previously broadcast programs, the same as it is for the other pages that were previously AFD'd. FrozenPurpleCube 02:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep The assertion that this article is "a TV Guide or Program Guide" seems to go against what seemed to be a very consensus-establishing AfD. That was over a year ago, of course, and consensus can change, but I think, as I thought then, that a discussion of the merits of this article can really only address issues that apply to all "List of programs broadcast by ____" articles, and that it would be much more productive and consensus-establishing to consider them all at once.

- Keep, a list like this has significant advantages over categorisation. --Darksun 11:55, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
