Weak Keep, I would not say that this article is quite promotional, but could use some better sources. Overall, weak keep. — Moops ^⋠T⋡ 06:24, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is a hotel room channel; unless somehow there's news and opinion programming on what is something designed to sell the country to someone already there, there's no WP:N that can be mined here as the programming loops and never changes, thus a native will likely only watch this network once.

Please note that editor User:Ihaiders1 has a Conflict of Interest for this topic. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:43, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's true. Please double check if it promotional or not. Thanks. Ihaiders1 (talk) 03:14, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I used the program details mentioned on their website, ( Names of the programs ) but removed as source was not proper. I didn't mentioned about the Ex Prime Minister of Pakistan "Imran Khan" vision about this channel, please check this source. https://www.bolnews.com/tag/discover-pakistan-tv-channel/ Do you this this should be the part of the article? As I already tagged my self having an conflict of interest with this Channel, But I wanted to contribute to the encyclopedia because its "'First Tourism TV" in Pakistan & has a Significant Media coverage, I tried to provide all the information with available resources and Links.

I hope the community will improve it better. Thank you. Ihaiders1 (talk) 04:22, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I do have a conflict of interest with this TV channel, I read other articles on TV channels in Pakistan, and I feel Discover Pakistan TV should be on the encyclopedia. I still feel it needs some improvement. here are some sources which will help you guys understand. I am attaching links from Pakistan's Top New websites.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. I might be introducing my own opinion here but I'd like to see additional support to retain an ~~infomercial~~ infotainment channel. They are typically not considered encyclopedic because they are purely commercial.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:00, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Just want to give a small input, According to "Pemra" Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority. Discover Pakistan TV is an Satellite TV channel Falls in "Tourism" & Infotainment Category with Information & entertainment programs. Its not infomercial channel. https://pemra.gov.pk/uploads/licensing/stv/list_of_licences_issued_stv.pdf

Comment I will at least agree with this; it's not a paid programming channel but a promotional tourist information channel. There is a difference between the two types of channels. Nate • (chatter) 01:16, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that was my mistake. I mixed up "infomercial" with "infotainment." Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:35, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I agree with Ihaiders1. Twinkle1990 (talk) 12:24, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
