[edit] Channel 7 Melbourne

Redundant article since Seven Network seems to cover the same information - Akamad 08:32, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: you know, that would make it a merge and redirect (to discourage recreation) candidate, and misusing AFD for editorial (content) purposes is why AFD is so unmanageably huge and needlessly angst-ridden. Please try not to do this - David Gerard 14:24, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Is this the same as HSV-7? Kappa 08:35, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Ahh yes, appears to be the same, perhaps a Redirect or merge- Akamad 08:38, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge HSV-7 into this and Keep as that was its original name. Notable television station broadcasting for nearly 50 years. There are and have been distinct programs apart from network programs including news and current affairs and sport especially the Victorian Football League matches in the seventies and eighties.

  • Merge one way or the other. Marginal preference for keeping HSV-7 but not a big deal either way. The page should probably be tagged for a cleanup - it's not very objective. Ben Aveling 10:21, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Well I think Seven Melbourne deserves a page because there's no info anywhere, it's all on Syndey's Seven. Melbourne has a Seven aswell. People should add more info to make it better. It's not the same as HSV-7 because it's not owned by the Herald Sun anymore. --Jamesbehave 10:52, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Its callsign is still HSV-7 though. - Randwicked 11:54, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
    • James, if the nationwide articles are Sydney-centric, that's a reason to correct the articles' bias, not to create a Melbourne-only fork. Oh, and imagine how Perth feels every time a Melbournite complains about self-centred Sydneysiders! fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 17:34, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - merge (and redirect) the HSV-7 tho - David Gerard 14:24, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
  • User:Capitalistroadster gives a good argument for merging into HSV-7. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 17:34, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
  • For clarification, I believe that this article should be kept and HSV-7 merged into it. Over its first 30 years, this television station was owned by The Herald and Weekly Times Ltd while the Sydney station was owned by John Fairfax Holdings. As I stated earlier, it also had significantly different programming and has done so for much of its life. Capitalistroadster 23:11, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect with HSV-7. Individual station articles are valid as those on entire networks, otherwise we'd have to get rid of all those WKKK and KZZZ US articles. - Randwicked 03:12, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Perth has it's own channel seven website. I like Melbourne's channel Seven.. but meh, do what you want. I've been to the 2 Melbourne studios and it doesn't say HSV-7 anywhere. It says "7 Melbourne". And both studios have public Cafes and you get to see all the storage of tape and oh my god.. there are so many films and videos. And the digital broadcast center.. surely that needs to be explained. But you know how Channel Seven is networked to every state.. well "HSV-7" was only when it was broadcasted in Victoria right? Now it's broadcasted in every major city. So you know.. I just thought. And with the pics I added.. it seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, I'm hungry. --Jamesbehave 03:21, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
  • I agree with Capitalistroadster, HSV-7 should be merged into this article. Virtually noone in Australia uses TV station callsigns anymore like they do in the States. --bainer (talk) 02:51, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and merge as per Capitalistroadster. Sarah Ewart 03:03, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and merge (with HSV-7) per Capitalistroadster. Ambi 04:57, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
  • the station's legal call letters remain HSV-7 whatever the station calls itself on-air. PMA 13:19, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
