This article was nominated for deletion a year ago and kept to be cleaned up. It is currently tagged for improper use of copyrighted material and to be rewritten. The content could quite easily be condensed into the articles for each of the channels mentioned. Wikiwoohoo (talk) 01:02, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up in current place, do not delete, do not merge. The ITV channels are a family of channels, owned as such and branded as such. It therefore makes good sense to treat the common brand presentation together in one place. The article should also review the earlier history of ITV network and regional branding. The article does need consolidation, streamlining and rewriting; but there is valuable material and a valid encyclopedic topic here, so the article should be cleaned up in place, and not deleted.

Keep but scrutinise for verifiability of all the statements, and delete anything not included in reliable sources. If the leftover encyclopaedic information doesn't constitute a full article, consider a merge then. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 18:49, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into separate ITV channel articles.. The article was created as an ITV copy of History of BBC television idents but is in a mess and will probably be difficult to improve on. ITV 3 and 4 don't have big histories to draw upon for content so the article might as well be deleted. Keep the useful content of course. Wikiwoohoo (talk) 18:55, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. ITV has a rich history of regional and network branding - going back to the 1950s - and there is definitely room for an article to review it, as a network. Jheald (talk) 19:09, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
