The network is picking up steam; it might be time to switch it to the city/station/channel/owner grid view most other diginets have. Nate • (chatter) 08:19, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Heroes & Icons → H&I (TV network) – Heroes & Icons has changed to H&I. AdamDeanHall (talk) 13:28, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose for now, as per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:OFFICIALNAME, and WP:NATURALDIS. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:36, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose. Natural disambiguation is preferable here, especially with the common name being uncertain or in flux. Rreagan007 (talk) 20:13, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose for now, per WP:COMMONNAME, and WP:NATURALDIS. - BilCat (talk) 20:47, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- Support - even-though this will probably fail, I decided to add my opinion. WP:COMMONNAME which is almost always used, is basically never used with its continuation of WP:NAMECHANGES and makes a flaw argument for opposing. There are barely any sources I could find, but the primary official site source does not even mention the old name once, neither does this press release, which would confirm that the new name is the one preferred and should be the one used as well. I also believe that WP:NATURALDIS should not be used in cases of former names. --Gonnym (talk) 10:47, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Hercules and Xena reference
Why have a reference to two programs that are no longer on the network? And why fixate on these two shows when just recently Early Edition, Beastmaster and The Guardian came and went? Encyclopedic would be comprehensive, not myopic. Dgabbard (talk) 17:40, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
- Because, this is not an advertising page for the network, but an encyclopedia and is not stuck just covering current information - other wise WP should just shut down. You are the one fixating on the two shows that that they should not be in the article. There is a reference to the All Star Trek block and its shows. Plus it only indicates that the two Action Pack shows debut not that they are currently on the network. Your view is myopic, by indicating that it should only list current programming. The general rule for these classic networks are that programming that is mention in news articles can be list as a sample (and likely prominent) programming. If you have sources on those three shows then list them. Spshu (talk) 20:10, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
- Listing the debut without indicating they have been taken off is incomplete. My simple solution is adding a sentence that they as of this year have been taken off. I also added to the Xena and Hercules entries references to their being carried on H&I. That ensures when in a few years the reference to these two former shows are deleted from the H&I entry (which I am sure will happen) where they aired will still be documented in the entries for the series. Many entries for shows list the various places a show has run over the years. Dgabbard (talk) 22:44, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
