Non encyclopaedic. Just a random list of sad stuff some person saw on tv.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mccapra (talk • contribs)

Delete. Although this page has a number of references there is not much collaboration between each list entry and any sort of criteria that fits in with it being a 'tragedy'. In this case WP:NOR and WP:INDISCRIMINATE applies. Ajf773 (talk) 09:14, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as indiscriminate and/or OR. Tragedy obviously has been a recognized genre in theater for thousands of years, but I'm skeptical that it is ever applied to television in the same way... I think it's significant that a good portion of this list is TV adaptations of theatrical tragedies. postdlf (talk) 14:54, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:SALAT. Too general a criterion to be of any real utility. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:50, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
