I really think this page is unnecessary. Each channel and Disney+ originals are located in its resentful subheading in their "List of programs" article. If this were to be allowed, then every other channel would have a "List of ___ series", which then refers to WP:NOTTVGUIDE. kpgamingz (rant me) 11:31, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

- Keep, this has been addressed ad nauseum at AFD over the years, NOTTVGUIDE is about ephemeral scheduling details; indexes of notable TV series by their originating network are completely appropriate (and are clearly not an "electronic program guide"). And "every other channel" does have such as list, see Category:Lists of television series by network. We also categorize this, Category:Original programming by American television network or channel, because it is considered WP:DEFINING of each series, an even higher standard than we have for maintaining lists. postdlf (talk) 14:26, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- To aid the closer, I have no objection to merging. postdlf (talk) 17:01, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to List of programs broadcast by Disney Channel and convert to a redirect. This article is completely duplicative of List of programs broadcast by Disney Channel (which is the correct article titling format for an article such as this) – there is no need for two articles on effectively the same topic. Any original content at this article should be merged (though I doubt there is any), and this should then be converted to a redirect to the latter. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:10, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- Interesting, there is definitely some overlap though it appears that having this split off separately was intentional; see the hatnote at List of programs broadcast by Disney Channel, and both pages have existed for at least fifteen years. I don't have a real opinion on whether it should be combined or kept separate, but it's clear that the nomination is incorrect in asserting that we shouldn't keep any such lists at all. postdlf (talk) 16:14, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to List of programs broadcast by Disney Channel and convert to a redirect Per IJBall. Amaury • 18:50, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of programs broadcast by Disney Channel Outside of theatrical films, it's rare that DC has content acquired outside the company since the mid-90s, and this is fully duplicative of the list-of. Nate • (chatter) 19:27, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to List of programs broadcast by Disney Channel and convert to a redirect Per IJBall and above. Hypogaearoots (talk) 16:29, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to List of programs broadcast by Disney Channel and convert to a redirect. A complete duplication of it, is unnecessary. — YoungForever(talk) 13:03, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
