 * Strong keep: Given the nominator has only written 'advertising' as a reason for deletion I'm struggling to understand the nomination. It is a nationally distributed channel so it meets WP:BCAST and is covered in reliable sources easily passing GNG. I see the article as being written in a neutral tone and it doesn't contain typical advertising traits such as a television guide or links to subscription/sign-up pages. It contains detail on the history of the channel (its former name and operator), detail of its rebranding, expansion and content in line with encyclopaedic tone and layout. -- Whats new?(talk) 21:55, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Did you actually read the article? It is in fact not much more then a list of sportrights a dn, in the section "Availability", where you can get it. The Banner talk 22:58, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes of course I read it. It is highly usual for articles on cable channels to include programming and availability information. In any event, the topics meets notability as I explained above so there is no basis for deletion. -- Whats new?(talk) 23:42, 16 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete: No evidence for notability from reliable sources is provided. It appears to be advertising only.--Grahame (talk) 00:04, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep As with the other BeIN noms, this is a bad faith nom; has obvious heavy pay carriage in Australia.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 04:25, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep: easily meets criteria listed in WP:BCAST for notability. musimax. (talk) 15:09, 18 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - This article does seem to meet the notability criteria for WP:BROADCAST. CAPTAIN RAJU  (✉)   19:55, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
