List of Holiday Bowl broadcasters

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

WP:NOTTVGUIDE applies here. Just another case of WP:LISTCRUFT to appeal to nobody but the small minority of the most ardent fans; another excessively bloated list that is fit for Fandom but is it encyclopaedic for here? The subjects are not described as a group, failing WP:LISTN. Additionally WP:NOTDATABASE and WP:ROUTINE. Of the sources per WP:RS; is about a switch from ESPN, which should be in an article about the game itself, not a list of broadcasters. Additionally, one is a YouTube video, one is about the BCS coverages in general, not just this and though all of those are about the games itself, the broadcasting gets a passing mention. The rest is about the games itself, far less for the broadcasting of this game. None of these are doing anything at all to help assert notability of lists like this. All the others are unsourced.

 * Comment You might as well mention relevant AfDs proposed that can seen on WikiProject Deletion sorting/American football
 * This is no part in trying to minimize your efforts but more so hope the effort is unionized across the board. I want to imagine alternatives to deletion are possible before a deletion is ruled out. A redirect back to the relevant bowl could suffice. – The Grid  ( talk )  13:25, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Tell me more, how is this done? SpacedFarmer (talk) 18:54, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete simply due to failing WP:LISTN. WP:NOTTVGUIDE—"An article on a broadcaster should not list upcoming events, current promotions, current schedules, format clocks, etc."—does not apply here, as the article in question is neither an article on a broadcaster nor does it list upcoming or current content.

 * Delete per WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:ROUTINE mentions that create a WP:TRIVIA list that doesn't meet WP:LISTN. Conyo14 (talk) 17:13, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
