Requested move 8 June 2020

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page.

The result of the move request was: withdrawn by nominator (non-admin closure) U-Mos (talk) 22:16, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of programs broadcast by HBO → List of original programs broadcast by HBO – Unnecessary and un-useful scope of all programs broadcast by HBO, currently admitting its own impossibility to collate by vague lead description as a "partial listing". Needs to be restricted to programming commissioned by HBO only, allowing the reader to understand the significance of the shows listed and be a exhaustive list within newly set parameters. List of original programs distributed by Netflix gives precedent. U-Mos (talk) 01:40, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as it would not be WP:CONSISTENT with similar lists (see subcategories of Category:American television series by network) that follow the present pattern and scope. That said, I feel like the "broadcast by" used on all these lists is extraneous and that the list scopes are too large, so a move to a pattern like List of HBO original programming would be more WP:CONCISE and match Category:HBO original programming - but this would have to be done as a multi-move covering all such lists at once. -- Netoholic @ 10:09, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above and per WP:OVERPRECISION. Calidum 15:46, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Advice from Netoholic gratefully taken - withdrawn pending alternative and larger scale request. U-Mos (talk) 22:16, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
