Fair use rationale for Image:Espnsports .jpg
Image:Espnsports .jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Merging Star Sports and Star Cricket into this article
Instead of having stub quality articles like Star Sports and Star Cricket, can't we just unite them under this article, and better its quality? Please contribute your views, otherwise, it will be merged in 14 days. speaks rohith 18:22, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

the whole ESPN Star Sports page need a massive clean up, the page with the list of tv rights is out of date and I suggest ESPN and Star Sports be split into at least two regions South Asia (india area) and South East Asia and possibly more

As I see it generally ESPN / Star Sports is split into 2 regions South East Asia and South Asia. There are a few regional difference like a few markets having a local editions of SC and the Philippines feed of ESPN just seems like a cut down version. Some markets have lost the EPL rights but they generally repeat a basketball or baseball game when the other networks are showing live EPL and there programming is generally insink after that. There is no cricket at all on ESPN or Star Sports in SE Asia apart from the small quick stories on SC Asia and there focus is mainly on Soccer where as the South Asia (Indian area) of ESPN Star Sports and now Star Cricket there is a main focus is on Cricketdjpower (talk) 09:24, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

article reads like an advertisement
The following grafs in the introduction sound like they were lifted straight from the Star Sports website or were written by one of their public relations people:

"Combining the strengths and resources of its ultimate parent companies, Walt Disney (ESPN, Inc.) and News Corporation Limited (STAR), ESPN STAR Sports is one of Asia's authoritative and comprehensive sports provider."

"From basketball to badminton, soccer to swimming, ESPN STAR Sports brings its viewing audience of predominantly affluent, educated viewers between the ages of 15 and 54, the round-the-clock and round-the-globe sports entertainment they crave."

Update links?
Since the transition of ESPN Star Sports from a partnership between News Corporation and the Walt Disney Company to a fully-owned subsidiary of 21st Century Fox called Fox Sports Asia, its broadcast properties have been fully rebranded, as has most of its internet presence. Some artifacts of the historical relationship between ESPN and ESS remain, such as the somewhat incongruous legal notice at the bottom of foxsportsasia.com that reads All rights reserved © 2013 ESPN Star Sports Some of the links in the section ESPN_Star_Sports redirect to their respective Fox Sports successor pages, but some do not. They may not necessarily be dead links--redirection may have been put into place too recently to have spread to all DNS servers, so my experience may be neither universal nor persistent. In any case, since the article is now about a regional network that no longer exists, perhaps the links should be left alone to preserve the historical aspect.

I expect some policy has been established for the sake of consistency in such matters; a pointer to any relevant guidelines would be useful.
