List of television series considered the worst

This list focuses only on a negative portion of many subjects. I think it would be better if this kind of thing (talking about negative reviews) was limited to the article of the subject. MorbidEntree - ( Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥)(please reply using {{ping}}) 16:57, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep The article title says it all; you're going in pretty much expecting little positive talk about these series. Also going from that first nomination this has actually had its inclusion requirements tightened; a series must have well sourced critical consensus of its ineptitude (the 240 sources show this easily), and we're not just throwing on shows without complete agreement that they belong (so that incredibly mediocre series aren't just put on to push an editor's agenda, or Game of Thrones somehow gets put on there). Go back in the article's history and you'll see that this article is definitely better than it was in the past. Nate • ( chatter) 17:10, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Given very good sourcing and strict criteria, I see no issue with keeping this list article. However, the title of the article should be reworked to something seemingly less subjective-sounding. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 18:35, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment. Since when are specials, TV movies and sports coverage considered "series"?

- They can always rename it "television SHOWS." It was only series at first before I think I was the one that added one-time specials. J. Myrle Fuller ( talk) 20:40, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. Although the page needs a lot of cleanup and probably deserves to have several of the series listed removed (mediocre is not the same as worst-ever), there are enough sources and enough of a consensus on some of the biggest names on the list to warrant maintaining a list, just as there are articles discussing the best TV shows, provided that there is enough of a consensus for each entry among reliable sources. (I get your point, though—these types of articles, especially on a "anyone-can-edit" site like this, can draw a lot of entries from random Internet peeps who don't like a particular show and use the page to vent. Yet with proper administration, it shouldn't be that much of a problem that it requires deletion.) J. Myrle Fuller ( talk) 20:40, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
