WP:NOTTVGUIDE applies here. The subjects are not described as a group, failing WP:LISTN. Also, sources are primary sources, nothing but news announcements and none of those assert notability. Those arguing for a keep claiming how useful it is, shall be advised to refer to WP:USEFUL. I also advise Fandom for them if they want to save it so much.

Keep Multiply and properly sourced, easily meets GNG, and really not appreciating the 'save it on Fandom' lecture here because the nominator is expected to do their own work before asking for article deletion. Nate • (chatter) 17:06, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, sourced but those are announcments and primary sources. This would've passed in 2004 but this is 2024, standards has changed. Also, WP:NOTTVGUIDE. SpacedFarmer (talk) 08:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a program listing, these are sports league right contracts and this article would make for a completely unintuitive TV guide. Please read through the WP cited before just tossing it out there to try to nullify a good faith vote!. Nate • (chatter) 17:21, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
More like a guide of what sports you can watch on which channel. SpacedFarmer (talk) 12:33, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody is using a sports rights article to find out where to watch an event except in the context of a Google search which highlights the event/channel as a result, which wouldn't be the first result anyways. Nate • (chatter) 12:37, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I note that while many of these articles have been nominated for deletion at the moment, neither the UK nor US one have been. The US article was previously kept at AfD, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sports broadcasting contracts in the United States. Nom has identified some content issues regarding lack of prose, but that can be resolved. India is one of the biggest sports markets in the world, with the second-most expensive broadcasting rights, and sports broadcasting contracts there attract substantial media coverage. Sports broadcasting rights in India have been discussed in the International Sports Law Journal and subject to analysis in numerous articles (1, 2, 3, 4 (academic analysis), 5 (more academic analysis)) AusLondonder (talk) 12:06, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No idea why you've linked this. AusLondonder (talk) 15:20, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If keep, I suggest you fix all the problemmatic entries - I can see lots such as unsourced entries, some claiming to be YouTube, primary sources and non-notable news announcments - these were the reasons why it had been nominated in the first place. And you know coverages with Eurosport India is the same with other countries. As with the source, half of those are in the paywall, so I cannot claim them to be reliable source without access.

Keep per @AusLondonder's source analysis. Big markets most likely have the secondary coverage to justify articles, smaller markets don't. UK, India, US, etc are probably notable. BrigadierG (talk) 10:55, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
