Should Monterrey, CA station "ABC7", the cable-only version of ABC-owned KGO for Monterrey, be considered an ABC O&O?

Why is the entry locked from editing?

I'm sorry, I requested this block to prevent the removal of the DMA numbers from the O&O table. User:DreamMcQueen wants to vandalize this page by removing the DMAs from the article. The continual edit warring between me and him forced me to ask administrators to impose a one week block on this list as we attempt to settle ourselves. Thank you for your understanding.

Merger proposal

edit

I am proposing that all disambiguation pages containing ABC ## (where ## determines the channel number) be merged into List of ABC television affiliates (table). This is to reduce the amount of disambiguation pages where there are many affiliates sharing the same channel number. In addition, the context can be explained better and will not cause any problems as far as article size is concerned. Do you have any objections? J4lambert (talk) 13:13, 13 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose Disambiguation pages are not the same as lists. They only serve as navigational aid and not as encyclopedic content. Since these pages contain no encyclopedic information a merge would be meaning less. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trialpears (talkcontribs) 20:28, 22 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Strong oppose. This is a DAB page, and therefore a navigation aid. I found this one because User:DPL bot reported an ambiguous link to it. The relevant article needed to (and now does) refer to a local news report by one specific station, not the whole ABC network. Narky Blert (talk) 11:13, 20 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
