Talk:web television

RFD discussion: March–April 2021
Considering that the Web television page was merged into streaming television page on Wikipedia itself, after unanimous consensus for change reached on Wikipedia:Talk:Web television, I think it would be bad form and promote misinformation to keep this page. So, I am requesting it be deleted. If that is not possible, then the secondary solution would be to change the name of the page to web series. With that, I hope to hear from you all. --Historyday01 (talk) 20:44, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * That's not how it works. See WT:CFI. We're a non-censored, descriptive dictionary, so as long as we have evidence that meets our requirements that it is- or ever has been- used in speech or writing to convey meaning, we will have an entry for it. It may be right, it may be wrong- it may even be offensive and evil- but we will have coverage. Chuck Entz (talk) 21:11, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that is a good point. Maybe the term could be changed then, to something like streaming television instead? --Historyday01 (talk) 21:13, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * No, both are in use, so we can't change one to the other. Remember that Wikipedia is about things and concepts, while Wiktionary is about words, phrases and symbols. There's a difference between web television and "web television". The first is a topic that one writes an encyclopedia article about (under one name or another), the other is a phrase made up of two words that has one or more definitions, etymology, pronunciation(s) and grammatical information.

 * RFD-kept. No rationale for deletion presented. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 22:41, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
