List of programmes

It is not appropriate to list every single programme that Nine says will air on GEM. Firstly, only some of them have been confirmed as airing in the near future: posting a purportedly comprehensive list of programmes gives the false impression that the list is representative of what will be seen on GEM in the near future. We can't give that guarantee. Consider what happens if GEM fails to broadcast a programme on that list, for example: how long should it be left up there? Networks don't issue press releases declaring that they have decided against airing a series.

Secondly, consider what Wikipedia is not: it should not be a home for shopping lists - that's also why you don't see the full list of programmes for Eleven, despite the fact that the Ten Network provided one. I have restored the version with a consolidated paragraph. Please don't revert without discussing here. Cyril Washbrook (talk) 10:17, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Agree there Cyril, there is no need to list every program. Personally though, I believe that even though there is only 11 days until the station starts broadcasting, nothing is confirmed until the station broadcasts said programs. Therefore any programming information should be removed. Wally Otto (talk) 11:36, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Logo

No clarification was given as to why Logo was replaced with logo. As it is a Noun. Revisions should not be edited without explanations.--Rogueassassin (talk) 11:42, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

The reason (as far as I can see) is that GEM is at the start of the sentence, and it should be decapitalized because of that. Wally Otto (talk) 11:36, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

If that is correct then every channel specified on free to air Australian Television should also be changed as per it's wikipedia page as well as thousands of other 'Logo' descriptions.--Rogueassassin (talk) 11:42, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

The logo caption is redundant anyway and I have removed it. 203.206.33.9 (talk) 02:03, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Darwin

Do we know the channel is going to be aired in Darwin as per the infobox? It's not a given, especially as the other digital channel GO still isn't there yet? Andjb (talk) 13:21, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

GEM HD

The channel is not known as GEM HD or indeed has been promoted or advertised anywhere as "GEM HD". It's just "GEM" and just happens to be broadcast on the HD channel. If anything the article should be titled along the lines of "GEM (TV station)" Andjb (talk) 12:48, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Although it is not advertised as GEM HD, it is classified as such, simmilair to ONE HD being simply titled ONE. Mr.Television (talk) 14:54, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

One HD is called One HD because that's its name; that's why they own the url www.onehd.com.au; One Digital is only there because Eleven hasn't been launched yet. Similarly 7mate isn't called 7mate HD, so this should not be GEM HD. JWPJ (talk) 13:35, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

GEM HD → GEM (Australian TV channel) — GEM is known as GEM and not GEM HD even though it will broadcast on a HD channel. However since we need to disambiguate the article name GEM (TV channel) is the correct title to use since it is a channel not a station. Bidgee (talk) 21:55, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

• Support As per all recent references and logo. SocietyBox (talk) 09:05, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

• Support Not been referred to as GEM HD anywhere but on Wikipedia JWPJ (talk) 13:37, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

• Support also noting the lowercase "c" in "channel" as proposed; there is already a redirect from GEM (Australian TV Channel) with an erroneous capital "C". —sroc (talk) 09:43, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I just wanted to point out that this page was previously already located at GEM (Australian TV channel) but was moved in one of Fastily's final acts before retiring from Wikipedia, apparently without discussion on the talk page. Since that user that unilaterally moved the page without discussion (and is no longer around to explain why) and there have been no dissenting views in the past five days, it looks as though this may be safely reverted back. —sroc (talk) 15:13, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Note: The article GEM (Australian TV channel) was actually deleted and the history was merged into GEM HD, the reason behind this was because GEM HD was created at 15.04 while GEM (Australian TV channel) was created at the latter time of 15.26 and only cloned the GEM HD article with less information at the time, I find this irresponsible editing by Allied45 as a quick search would of easily found the GEM HD article and no need to create GEM (Australian TV channel) and cause this chaos, however saying all this, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Mr.Television (talk) 23:26, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying that, Mr.Television. It seems that the article has been moved back and forth a bit now with titles under GEM (Australian TV channel), GEM (Australian TV Channel) and GEM HD (at least). It's just a matter of finding the right title — and, of course, expanding on the content of the article! —sroc (talk) 23:37, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Anticipating the move, I have amended the hatnote at GEM TV and added one to Gems TV to mention this channel. If the move does not proceed, someone may wish to amend the hatnote accordingly. —sroc (talk) 23:47, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

• Neutral As the station calls itself GEM, not GEM HD, it should match the station. That said, the only references I could find to it are on websites, e.g. TV Tonight, and are only from when the station was first announced. As this, and the fact the station has no website (besides a Facebook page), are enough to make me neutral. Wally Otto (talk) 23:49, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
