F1 (BBC)[edit]

Article about BBC coverage of Formula One, contains just a list of presenters and an infobox with basic production details. This is not a notable subject for an article, as there is little information to include, and there are no such other articles on Wikipedia. Please note, a similar article with another name was deleted several months ago, following this discussion. QueenCake (talk) 19:09, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and as much as I dislike syaing "per nom", I've nothing to add so... -- Whpq (talk) 16:09, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The BBC's coverage of Formula One is notable, being a national broadcaster of a major sport. For an example of a source for the current content, please see this article in the Daily Telegraph - a national broadsheet newspaper. The claim that there are no similar articles is false - see Category:British sports television programmes. Colonel Warden (talk) 18:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you could see the previous article deleted, it included that information, and was still essentially a copy of this page. There just isn't the notable information beyond basic details. Those articles in the category are actual programmes, rather than a page on a sports coverage, and I'd question the notability of several of them anyway.

Delete. Sometimes certain sports programming gets a bit of a life of its own - whereby the program itself becomes independently notable. In UK terms, this would include, for example, Match of the Day and Test Match Special. But this is not the case here. Pfainuk talk 14:00, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
