Unencyclopedic list. Fails WP:LSC. No discernible uniform criteria. Evaluation appears entirely subjective. Subject is insanely broad. Ad Orientem (talk) 17:44, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

- Delete Lists are all over the place and seems like people have just grabbed from whoever did a list at the time of what they rated as their best shows. Fails WP:Lists trivial content NZ Footballs Conscience(talk) 20:44, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Completely subjective opinion from multiple lists, notwithstanding that staffs and tastes about television shows change over the years, as TV Guide shows. It should be noted that Sepinwall and Zoller-Seitz definitely do not consider their list final; they plan to come out with multiple updates over the years of their title.

- Keep Actually, this is a reasonable list, in that it compiles top 10 lists from a number of different reliable sources. It could stand to have some more text for context, but this is nowhere near the train wreck I was expecting when I first saw the title. Jclemens (talk) 00:39, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:49, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. There is a reason we don't do lists of entries "considered the best". Fails WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE. Ajf773 (talk) 10:35, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - First, this is not a list of TV shows considered the best. This is a "List of lists of shows considered either the best, the best in a country and/or the best in a genre". We could conceivably have a "List of TV shows in the United States considered the best", lose the UK source and the US source that divides out drama vs. comedy. That list is four entries long, if we ignore what the lists are and simply extract the top entry, creating a new topic that none of the sources discuss. - SummerPhDv2.0 02:16, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete There is no criteria to determine the merit of the organizations providing these lists. Why should we take the word of one list maker over another? These types of lists are constantly being created by different organizations. This list is constantly going to be outdated as new shows are created and new lists are made. Not to mention the clear western bias present here. ZincHead (talk) 16:19, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
- Neutral I created the article in line with List of films considered the best. Crookesmoor (talk) 21:10, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
