This completely violates WP:NOTDIR. We should not be actively trying to keep track of former affiliates of a broadcast network along with unnecessary details and cruft, especially when this content is almost impossible to properly cite and manage onto a table. To be incredibly blunt, this page should have never been created in the first place. Nathan Obral • he/him/🦝 • t • c • 23:05, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

:* Delete per nom.

:*Delete as stated in the nom, this is just an ever-changing directory with little to no in an encyclopedia.

• Delete - Just like with other similar nominations of these types of articles, there is no need for this article. A category might be enough though. Shankargb (talk) 16:43, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• Delete: This is probably another remnant of the lax enforcement of certain policies and guidelines in this topic area in the past; indeed, that this one has only existed since 2023 (by which point we had long since finally begun tightening up in that realm) may if anything have been a contesting of {{diff|List of The CW affiliates (table)|1157182054|1155196426|the removal of similar information earlier that year}} from the main list of The CW affiliates by the nominator. Besides any potential NOTDIR issues, I suspect the discussion {{tq|as a group or set by independent reliable sources}} required to meet NLIST is lacking here as well. For the record, a category would not be an acceptable replacement; there already used to be :Category:Former CW affiliates, and it was deleted at CfD in 2020.
