Routine coverage mostly based on a press release from NBC touting ratings. Esolo5002 (talk) 04:33, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete although some of the content can be added into either NFL on NBC or a newly created NFL on Peacock article (I oppose a redirect to either title). The game itself is not notable. The way the game was broadcast is possibly notable but that can be better covered on an article about NFL broadcasting than an article on a single game.

Strong Keep inasmuch 1) I curated it and 2) it's a fascinating and notable NFL, business, Internet, streaming, copyright, and pop culture story, all of which intersect. How many football games are named after the rights-holder? This is a bit much to fold into another article, in my estimation. kencf0618 (talk) 23:10, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that you like the subject and find it ”fascinating and notable” doesn’t make it so and certainly doesn’t mean it should be kept. A game being named after its rights holder (and this nickname has NOT had any mainstream usage) doesn’t mean the game is notable. There could potentially be content on this article that is useful to an article on NFL broadcasting (as I mentioned in my !vote) but this game is certainly not notable enough for a standalone article.

Comment - the game itself was not particularly notable, but the broadcast (being the first NFL playoff game behind a paywall) was very controversial and seemed to get a lot of coverage. I have little inclination right now to try to dig into the coverage, but if someone wants to look for and finds significant coverage of the broadcast controversy, then the article should be kept as meeting GNG.

Delete - Currently the game fails WP:NSPORTSEVENT; it's too early to tell if the game or its broadcast will have the type of legacy that would entitle it to a standalone article. For now, the information in this article should be incorporated into NFL on NBC as suggested above. Hatman31 (talk) 22:10, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Delete per the reasons above. There is not much information in the article currently and while this was the first playoff exclusive game on Peacock, the Bills-Chargers game back in Week 16 was actually the first exclusive game on the platform (over this game). I feel that game would be more suitable for that nickname but what do I know. Also agree that it is way too early to tell if it will have a lasting legacy for a standalone article. Maybe in the future but not at the moment. --James161723 (talk) 05:44, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
