Talk:List of years in Belgian television

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nearly all of the linked pages are unsourced and/or useless

[edit]

Most of these "[Year] in Belgium television" pages are just empty templates with no information. They have headers for Events, Debuts, Television Shows, Ending this year, Networks and services, and Births, but in nearly all cases most of these subheadings are completely empty. Of the few people who are listed in Births, the majority are redlinks. Very few have any sources at all. For example:

They're all like this, with a couple of exceptions. Someone created these empty articles for every year, stopped (banned?) at 2016, and have left a wake of these articles that have loads of "This section is empty" sections.

The articles seem to be have been mostly made by user User:Xfactor1234, who has since been banned. Looks like this user has done the same thing for lots of other countries' (Year) in (Country) television pages, for example: 1959 in Swedish television. Their talk page shows lots of (Year) in (country) television articles getting deleted, with no response from them.

I'm relatively new to editing but I would propose most (if not all) of these unsourced articles should be deleted - but not sure what the correct procedure to go about doing that seeing as there's such a large number of them Bugghost🎤:🐛👻 11:16, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've just nominated the 1956 in Belgian television, 1958 in Belgian television, 1959 in Belgian television pages to be deleted - these are the earliest three (1957 presumably was already deleted), and each have had the "unsourced" template on them for years. Will leave the rest for now to see what response happens from those three. (I would prefer not to do this for all these articles though - if someone with the power/knowledge/boldness to mass delete the affected articles, please feel free to take over!)

Hi. You have used WP:PROD for these. PROD is for uncontroversial deletions. I have canceled these proposals. There clearly are questions here so these should go to WP:AFD. See WP:BUNDLE for instructions on nominating a group of articles for deletion. ~Kvng (talk) 19:05, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh ok sorry about that - this is my first deletion proposal so I took a bit of a stab at which method was the correct way to go about it. Thanks for the advice! Bugghost🎤:🐛👻 10:26, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
