List of Belk Bowl broadcasters[edit]

Another in the too-long list of college football game broadcasters lists. No evidence of notability as a list subject. Prod removed without comment or improvements. Fram (talk) 13:34, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article without a use; unless ESPN somehow completely falls apart/gets anti-trust-busted they're always going to broadcast it, and only a few care about the radio broadcast that's rarely picked up nationally; they'll just listen to it the regular way, through the team's radio network.

Delete (or redirect to Belk Bowl). Fails WP:GNG and Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists. ESPN sources identifying its own broadcasters are not independent. Moreover, and while their may be significant coverage of the bowl itself, there is no significant coverage (i.e., more than passing mentions, WP:ROUTINE announcements of broadcast team, etc.) of Belk Bowl broadcasters in reliable sources that I am able to find. Nor are these persons notable for having broadcast Belk Bowl games. Cbl62 (talk) 14:44, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nominator and Cbl62's rationales above. Per ample precedent, we really need to delete all of the articles in this class. No one is writing books about past Rose Bowl broadcasters, let alone broadcasters for the Belk Bowl. This is sportscruft/trivia. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:22, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that. I would be surprised to find significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources for broadcasters of any bowl game. Cbl62 (talk) 17:46, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps, we should expand this into a group TV for all of these bowl game broadcaster lists? Jweiss11 (talk) 20:04, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are currently two bowl announcer AfDs underway with both heading toward deletion. I'd suggest letting these two run their course, setting a precedent, before pursuing a broader challenge. Just my 2 cents. Cbl62 (talk) 21:30, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral if it isn't here in a list, it will be included in the main article. I can see reasons to do both.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:58, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:LISTN with no independent sources that cover this grouping. We don't create lists merely because the content is true.—Bagumba (talk) 10:48, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
