Aside from the fact that this apparently includes programming broadcast on Channel 44, not just Channel 31, this seems to fail WP:NOTTVGUIDE. While a list like this would make sense for a cable or network channel that created original programming, this seems to be a listing for community TV stations that recycle other's programming. I'm not familiar with this sort of list, but it seems to me that this will have trouble get past NOTDIRECTORY stuff. Hog Farm _Talk 05:08, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Programming lists should be limited to original programming and looking at some of the entries, there are a few programmes that are original to the network, so I'm inclined to retain the article just for those entries. Most of it can go though. Also we should not include any sort of future programming per WP:NOTCRYSTAL. Ajf773 (talk) 09:15, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, ~~into Community television in Australia under a new section. But only the original programming should be retained, as suggested by Ajf773. Meticulo (talk) 13:25, 20 May 2021 (UTC)~~ I've ~~transferred~~ added the blue-linked, original programs to a new section at Community television in Australia.

Delete* Regarding broadcasters, WP:DIRECTORY specifically states that articles can include "...historically significant program lists...". I have a feeling that such a historically significant list would be short enough to include on the Channel 31 article. Rogermx (talk) 17:57, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Ajf773. Community television creates original content and it is therefore beneficial to keep that information for future Wikipedians. Unoriginal shows and programming should be removed and I would propose renaming the article to List of programs broadcast by Channel 31 (Melbourne) for clarity.
