There was a relevant discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Mass creation of mostly empty articles, which resulted in some dissenting opinion preferring to send them through AfD.
Each of these articles are almost entirely empty, apparently mass copy/paste created by a single user. Even if they weren't empty, they're bare duplication of the relevant categories, and as far as I can tell, are for the most part lower quality duplication. The entire lot of them are one giant WP:Walled garden with respect to incoming links,
Now, there are definitely examples of these types of articles which are long-standing, have been created by other users, worked on by many editors, and contain substantial content beyond that which a category would contain. See for example 2010 in American television. However, the articles created by this particular user and nominated here have remained empty in some cases for years, and (intentionally or otherwise) have been created so as to just barely be disqualifying for A3.
Per the ANI discussion like to above, there was a recent discussion on IRC which resulted in deletion of a spate of YEAR in French television articles being deleted. But there seemed to be insufficiently universal approval for expanding this drastically without RfC, so here we are.
