My understanding is that Episode guides are allowed on Wikipedia. This is a radio documentary series and the intent of the
WP:NOTTVGUIDE refers to "an article on a broadcaster should not list upcoming events, current promotions, current schedules". This is neither current, promotional, or upcoming, but rather historical. I have fully referenced the episodes as requested when they were deleted from the main
The Ongoing History of New Music page and formated them according guide found in the
Template:Episode list. There are many many episode guides on Wikipedia and I am just trying to comply within the rules and keep getting the
WP:NOTTVGUIDE put up which I believe is being referenced incorrectly.
Also, not sure why more then one source is required here, that link was a cummulitive list that was posted on the shows at the time current website with every show, title, and air date for the first 623 Episodes. It's the single best source of truth to be found for the first 13 years of the shows existance.
I just want to comply within the rules and have this information available to the people who enjoy the show and who have used the information stored here since at least 2011.
You conveniently omitted the part of NOTTVGUIDE that says historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable. There is no indication any of those episodes are historically significant and I believe you'd find it impossible to present a case that these 900 episodes are historically significant.
But I did find an archived version of the shows website at the time that had a complete list dating all the way back to the beginning of the show along with all the titles and applicable original air dates. I really am trying to comply within the rules you keep referencing. You also did ask that if the information was reinstated that it have references and I did provide that. I cleaned up the list and made it more digestible and easier to read, I formated it according to the
Template:Episode list. There is no promotions, future schedules, or upcoming events. Episode guides are allowed on Wikipedia, there are thousands of examples of them.

this page would confirm what may have been original research with a list that was provided by the staff of the show on the current website at the time back in 2009. I have pulled every link I can out of the wayback machine and the current shows website and referenced them. I have provided over 300 reference links for the pages in question. I had more links but when I found this link with a concise list of all the airing including reruns for 13 years, I thought it had more weight.

I'm pretty certain it was an accidental omission. I've

Delete. The key to making these lists notable enough to be included in Wikipedia wouldn't be referencing the content to Alan Cross's own website — it would be referencing the list to third party media coverage about the episodes, offering evidence that they got third-party attention.
