[edit] Channel Ten

I believe this article should be deleted, simply because there is another page with the exact same content. See Network Ten, and with the official name. See it's official website, "Official Network Ten Website". I believe that if this article is deleted, the information from it should be merged on to Network Ten. It is clearly very obvious how these relate to each other, Channel Ten and Network Ten are very similar, Network Ten is like the mother of Channel Ten. The both have the same shows, logos and slogans, why not just delete one and merge the extra information from Channel Ten onto Network Ten? Surely you don't think that a primary channel needs a page of it own, that can be properly described on Network Ten.Shaggy9872004 00:52, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• The articles themselves clearly tell us that Channel Ten is about the television channel and Network Ten about the television network. Even were the articles duplicate articles, deletion would not be the proper solution. Uncle G 03:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep as has different content from the Network Ten article even though they are related and article seems to be in reasonable shape. Merger may be possible but better canvassed on talk pages. Capitalistroadster 03:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 03:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep content is demonstrably not the same (although it might be worth reviewing both articles in case some editors have mistaken the two), and as above editors have mentioned the Network and the Channel are not the same thing (that is, the Network runs Channel Ten and numerous affiliates). --Canley 05:44, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The content is very different in the articles, Network Ten is the parent, Channel Ten is one of it's products just like Southern Cross Ten. Firelement85 05:58, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment: The two pages used to be merged. User:Stickeylabel split the two articles; one for the company called Network Ten, and one for the television network it operates. He did the same for Channel Seven/Seven Network and Channel Nine/Nine Network. --Tntnnbltn 07:35, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:SNOW DXRAW 07:46, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - what's the difference between Channel Ten, Network Ten and TEN-10? There's three separate articles on this, and none explain what the other is very well. JROBBO 08:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep needs more explanation as to how these topics relate though ThrustVectoring 08:23, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Snowy Keep, failing that, re-direct to Network Ten and it would be a good case for Channel Seven/Seven Network & Nine Network/Channel Nine to do the same if the consensus for this article was either delete or merge. --Arnzy (talk • contribs) 09:30, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Rename in any event, because the presumptious title of the article is specific to the channel 10 in only one country and untrue as for channel 10 in other countries. It should say, perhaps Channel Ten (Australia). Edison 19:31, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep and rename Bucketsofg 19:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep but needs a good rewrite because it seems the same as Network Ten ~ Joe Jklin (T C) 20:32, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep there are distinct differences between Channel Ten, Network Ten and TEN-10. The first sentence on the TEN-10 article even states that it is the callsign of Network Ten's flagship Sydney station. CanWest Global Communications is the main stakeholder of The Ten Group, who owns the network called Network TEN, which operates one main nationwide channel called Channel Ten, and also a digital only channel called the Ten Guide. I believe there aren't enough articles for Ten in Australia yet, as we don't even have a The Ten Group article yet. Network Ten and Channel Ten are two completely different things. Network Ten manages affiliation to Southern Cross Ten and various other regional operaters, they also are in charge of the five metropolitan Network Ten stations. They manage the purchasing of programming and many sporting events, they also manage Ten News. Channel Ten is merely a channel that is a collection of programming, that is bought and created by Network Ten. Stickeylabel 22:42, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep It meets my notability guidlines. --Sir James Paul, La gloria è a dio 00:30, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with Network Ten, then turn into a disambiguation page. TRKtvtce 00:56, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and rename "Channel Ten (Australia)". I've never seen a network television channel shown in several major cities up for AfD before. --Oakshade 04:24, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Network Ten and Channel Ten are different things -- as per Stickeylabel's justification. Australian Matt 08:48, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
