WP:NOTTVGUIDE applies here. Just another case of WP:LISTCRUFT to appeal to nobody but the small minority of the most ardent motorsport 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. As with sources per WP:RS besides those unsourced, consists of announcements, WP:PRIMARY, focusing less on the broadcastings (usually about the series or one of the announcers) and those otherwise unsourced; none of these helping this list to assert notability.

Speedy keep - Copy/paste rationale, no evidence of WP:BEFORE. This is not a NASCAR article, why would "the most ardent NASCAR fans" be the target audience?― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 17:56, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: fails LISTN but it just isn't a list so that doesn't apply. Topic is covered in reliable sources such as Variety and whilst the purchase of broadcast rights by one network over another is admittedly pretty boring, it's not routine. Nom can be forgiven for not knowing difference between NASCAR and IndyCar though. -- D'n'B-t -- 18:35, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, I concur with User:GhostOfDanGurney. The rationale for this deletion is perplexing. This is not a list article, it's an article about NBC's Indy Car coverage. Sourcing in the article is sufficient. I am hoping for a clearer rationale because otherwise this is a pretty clear keep. Esolo5002 (talk) 18:37, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Borderline WP:CSK#3 as this is not a list article, tv guide, or database. Sources exist for the topic such as [[1]] and [[2]] just for starters. Let'srun (talk) 20:56, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - @SpacedFarmer: Can you please revert your edits to the nomination, and then strike out the part that I referred to in my !vote if you then wish to change your rationale? It is very inappropriate to edit comments in a discussion after they have been replied to. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 17:49, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per @Esolo5002 and @GhostOfDanGurney. RegalZ8790 (talk) 00:17, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
