unreferenced lengthy lists) has been a consensus in Knowledge for the past three years. The practice of not including such lists has been discussed and approved of through consensus on the television station project page itself, as well as numerous individual article talk pages regarding television stations in both large and small markets across North America for years now. If you look around in Wiki you'll discover that a minimal number of remaining TV station articles contain such lists, there is no reason why WMAZ-TV should constitute a exception to that consensus. As a gentle reminder, some editors who have persisted in continuously replacing these types of unreferenced lists, after they were removed by other editors, have subsequently been blocked for periods of time from editing Knowledge. This is not a personal thing, nor is the WMAZ-TV article being 'singled out'. In order for users to have confidence in the information they find in the encyclopedia, proper referencing is essential in bolstering that confidence, a suggestion that I noticed has been pointed out to you on your personal talk page in the past. Lack of referencing is particularly bad news when we're talking about biographical material related to living persons. The present list in this article currently contains just such information and I will be removing it along with the rest of the unreferenced entries. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello Chrismaster, This doesn't have anything to do with what I want, or what you want, in terms of what is appropriately included in the article. Not including unreferenced lists of former employees of television stations who don't already have an existing article in the encyclopedia (especially

Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
