I don't think this page is really necessary when there is already Category:BBC television sitcoms which is complete, unlike this article. I could maybe see it being useful if it was a sortable table with the start date, end date and maybe channel, but in its current state I'm not sure whether it's useful or not.

Withdrawn by nominator I have withdrawn this nomination because I realise it was a mistake. I nominated this page because I thought it was unnecessary because there was a more complete category page but I have since learned from WP:CLN that 'should not be considered in conflict with each other'. I apologise for having wasted your time and I promise not to come back. Also, regarding the format I think I will just leave the page as it is and move on. I am currently trying to close the discussion and withdraw the nomination. Rayna Jaymes ( talk) 18:38, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

- Keep No policy based rationale for deletion. This is a list of notable programmes on one of the most notable TV channels on the planet. Saying that it's better suited to a category fails WP:CLN. If you don't like the format, fix it, don't bring it to AfD. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 18:01, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- Keep per Lugnuts. Perfectly good list topic. -- Michig ( talk) 18:04, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Should I remove this from AfD then? I'd be willing to change the format myself - I just wanted to check whether it should be deleted because the exact same information is available on the category page except that page is complete. (P.S. Sorry, this is my first time nominating an article, I just thought this article might fall under forks in the policy) Edit: Sorry, now I see that categories and lists 'should not be considered in conflict with each other' from the WP:CLN link Rayna Jaymes ( talk) 18:10, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Also, am I allowed to change it to a table or should I just leave it as it is and complete the list? Rayna Jaymes ( talk) 18:12, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- WP:Anyone can edit. If you think a sortable table would improve the list (which it probably would) and have the patience to do it, then do so. For my part it's a keep per Lugnuts. Keresaspa ( talk) 18:41, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
