Being broadcast differently doesn't make this game notable. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 00:25, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete this game is not notable in any way, except possibly for being simulcast on Nickelodeon. But information about this simulcast is already included in the NFL on Nickelodeon article, an article on the game itself is not necessary.  Frank Anchor Talk 03:16, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Games have been notable for their unusual broadcast circumstances before, but this ain't it.  O.N.R.  (talk) 12:10, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete-per nom. Most of the relevant information is on the NFL on Nickelodeon page. This game is not any more notable than any other NFL Wild Card game.-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 16:08, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment As the author of the article, I'd just like to apologize; I wouldn't have even attempted to make this article if I didn't feel it had some sort of significance to it. But since the NFL on Nickelodeon page is still up, that seems suitable enough. Again, so very sorry. If it must be deleted, then please go ahead. Malcolm L.

 * Delete per nom. No need for an own article. Kante4 (talk) 20:04, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the NFL on Nickelodeon article. It's a possible search term, and redirects are WP:CHEAP, anyways. Ejgreen77 (talk) 21:11, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It's a very unlikely search term (much more likely a reader would search for the playoffs in general rather than a specific game in the first round). Also a redirect here sets a dangerous precedent to redirect other playoff games using  this format if the Nickelodeon game becomes an annual event, not to mention other simulcasts, such as ESPN Megacasts.

 * Delete As the author of the article requested the deletion I will vote for delete but otherwise it's only really notable due to the fact that it was broadcasted on a different network compared to usual. HawkAussie (talk) 02:53, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Game can be covered sufficiently in 2020–21 NFL playoffs. The special broadcast on a children's network can be handled at NFL on Nickelodeon (although even that seems excessive and can generally be covered at National Football League on television). Oppose redirecting, as anyone who might enter that obscure title would probably expect a page on the game, not its broadcast.—Bagumba (talk) 09:04, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * See 1939 Waynesburg vs. Fordham football game which is mainly notable not for the game itself but for being the first ever football game broadcast on TV. That article briefly discusses the actual game but mostly discusses the broadcast and lasting impact, because that's what it's notable for. Maybe the best thing is a reverse merge and redirect from there to here, at least until this becomes a regular thing? Smartyllama (talk) 16:05, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect as a plausible search term. Right now it's the first and only game to air on Nickelodeon and there is no evidence it will become a regular thing. It's notable for that reason and that reason only, hence redirect to the article where that is covered. If it becomes a regular thing, we can always revisit the redirect if we're concerned about them being created in bulk, though I'd argue the first game to air on Nick would be more individually notable than the others, and that that point might need to be separated out into its own article, with the NFL on Nickelodeon one discussing the broadcasts as a whole. We can discuss it if and when it happens. For now, since the notable aspects of this article and the NFL on Nickelodeon article are essentially the same, a redirect is appropriate.

 * Delete or redirect. per Bagumba/Smartyllama. Either option appears fine. Cbl62 (talk) 18:35, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
