Indycar on BT

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not much evidence that this particular coverage of this sport is notable. The sport is notable, the different instances of the TV coverages aren't independently notable themselves. Moreover, WP is not a directory of all broadcasts of motor races. Tvx1 22:31, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Would agree with nom. This is yet another WP:TE draft by an editor well-known to the F1 and other motorsport projects who has been advised previously that pages of this nature are not what Wiki requires per WP:What Wikipedia is not, WP:NOTTVGUIDE and WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Some similar pages have already been deleted or are under discussion and although IndyCar has notability, coverage by individual broadcasters, of which there are many, in various locations, probably does not and to create pages for all would be excessive.

 * Keep It works because of the history of the broadcast company on a sport.92.21.250.68 (talk) 13:18, 31 December 2016 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: 92.21.250.68 (talk • contribs) using a dynamic IP is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep It works because of any broadcast company on sports. (e.g: Football on Sky, NBA on BT, Formula One on Fox, NASCAR on Premier.) Rowde (talk) 15:37, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete I imagine this is just BT Sport airing the main NBC/NBCSN originating broadcast from the US with minor changes in graphics, their commentators, and surrounding programming; nothing unique about their presentation at all; this isn't the reverse, where NBC in most rights has their own commentators, camera angles, hosts and graphics for their Premier League coverage. Here, it's just a simulcast of existing US coverage without anything unique.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 07:36, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep It has a contract until 2022 and can be updated during the years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.78.113.197 (talk) 18:38, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * With what, which announcers? That information is already in IndyCar Series on NBC. There's nothing to update since it pretty much grabs NBC's feed, rebroadcasts it, and maybe has some British continuity here and there.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 04:24, 19 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete as not notable and WP:TOOSOON. Tymon. r   Do you have any questions?  12:41, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
