ITV Network Continuity Announcers

Ok, as per what I posted in Talk:ITV, a week ago I think it is time for a reorganisation of articles about ITV. This one stands out in particular as something I beleive action is needed about.

In the first instance I think we need to consider whether this article is encyclopedic at all, IMHO it isnt really do we have an article like this for every broadcaster in the world?

If it is encyclopedic, we then need to consider the correctness of the article. It seems to get lost in a large amount of confusion on here of the distinction between the ITV network*, ITV plc**, and ITV 1***. The article is entitled ITV Network continuity announcers. However, AFAICT stv and UTV have their own branding and continuity? In which case the article would be better entitled "ITV 1 continuity announcers" or given that it discusses the other ITV plc channels "ITV plc continuity announcers".

* A network of broadcasting franchises.

** A company owning 11 of the 17 franchises (15 regional, 1 breakfast, and 1 Teletext)

*** A brand name used by 12 of the 15 regions

Well, I don't have that much to do with ITV Network Continuity Announcers, I only moved the content from ITV1 Network Continuity Announcers to that page. I personally think it should be deleted, as it doesn't have much point to it. I also think ITV pages need a clean up, but I think the ITV1 article should stay.GMc^talk 00:30, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - you haven't seen ITV Idents and Presentation yet..! To be honest, there is quite quite a bit of ITVcruft that needs to be reorganised or removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tghe-retford (talk • contribs) 19:27, 17 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Delete. And make sure ITV Idents and Presentation gets obliterated too. The JPS ^{talk to me}
Delete. It may be worth bumping their names up to ITV1, if and only if we have sources. Eludium-q36 17:14, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
